What  Mrs.  Ida  Finney  Mackrille 
thinks  of  Libby's  Milk 


THAT  she  should  per- 
mit us  to  tell  other 
women  what  she  has 
proved  about  Libby's 
Milk  will  not  be  a  sur- 
prise to  those  who  know 
Mrs.  Ida  Finney  Mack- 
rille. 

For,  while  she  has  long 
been  prominent  in  the 
social  life  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, she  is  keenly  inter- 
ested in  home  affairs — 
and  quick  to  lend  her  in- 
fluence when  she  is  sure 
her  sisters  in  the  Golden 
State  will  benefit  by  it. 

Mrs.  Mackrille  has 
used  Libby's  Milk  for  a 
long  time,  finding  it,  she 
says  enthusiastically, 
"rich,  delicious,  wJicjle-^"

The  CLUBWOMAN 


MOTHERS   OF   PIONEERS 


The  mothers  of  the  frontiers!  They  felt  the  on- 
coming of  another  day  for  their  children.  No  life 
was  so  laborious,  no  situation  so  unpropitious,  no  pov- 
erty so  deep,  that  they  did  not,  through  a  divine  gift 
of  prophecy,  see  beyond  the  gloom  a  better  day  for 
their  children.  In  the  smoky  overheated  kitchens, 
struggling  to  feed  the  "gangs"  of  harvesters  and 
threshers,  as  they  washed,  and  mopped,  and  baked, 
and  brewed,  and  spun,  and  wove,  and  knit,  and  boiled 
soap,  and  mended  and  cut  and  basted,  and  sewed, 
and  strained  milk,  and  skimmed  cream,  and  churned, 
and  worked  over  butter,  catching  now  and  then  an 
opportunity   to    read    while    rocking    a   child    to    sleep. 


drinking  in  once  in  a  while  a  bit  of  poetry  from  the 
sky  or  the  cloud  or  the  flower;  they  were  haloed  like 
suns  of  progress  for  their  families  and  for  their 
nation,  as  they  worked  and  planned  and  assumed 
for  themselves  a  higher  and  higher  culture  of  its 
sort — all  for  their  children. 

We  build  monuments  in  the  public  square  for  the 
soldiers  of  our  wars;  but  where  is  the  monument  for 
the  Kate  McConkeys  who  made  possible  so  much  of 
the  good  which  is  represented  by  the  public  square 
itself?  Unless  it  is  a  monument  not  made  with  hands, 
in  our  hearts  and  souls,  none  can  ever  exist  which 
can  be  in  any  way  adequate. — Herbert  Quick.

Unite 

— and  there  is  formed  a  river 


HERE  was  Brock  and  Company  on 
the   one   hand — S.   Nordlinger  & 
Sons  on   the  other.    Each  was  a 
firm  of  long  standing — each  had  followed 
the  high  road  of  Quality  and  Service  and 
it  had  led  them  to  an  unusual  success. 

They  have  now  united.  What  they  have 
achieved  separately  they  now  carry  on  as 
one — their  leadership,  their  facilities, 
their  good  will  merged  to  form  a  single 
great  institution. 

The  entire  Brock  and  Company  organi- 
zation welcomes  the  personnel  of  S. 
Nordlinger  &  Sons— the  friendship  of 
their  patrons — the  ideals  of  service  they 
have  so  long  cherished. 

And  as  a  united  organization  they  look 
forward  to  a  broader  and  broader  activ- 
ity in  making  available  to  the  people  of 
the  Southland  richer  and  richer  beauties 
in  the  realm  of  jewels.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HOME  PRODUCTS  AND   THE   RETAILER 


DID    you    ever    notice    how    the    average    person 
shops? 

Does  he  or  she  go  to  the  store  vrith  more  than  a 
very  general  idea  of  vphat  is  to  be  bought?  Has  she 
pre-deterrained  the  brand  of  the  suit,  or  the  hat,  or 
the  dining  room  table,  or  the  broom,  or  whatever  else 
it  is  that  is  to  be  purchased?  Or  does  she  simply 
know  that  she  needs  one  of  these  articles  and  about 
how  much  she  has  to  expend  for  it,  depending  alto- 
gether upon  what  the  store  has  in  stock  for  the  final 
selection? 

If  the  shopper  should  be  a  man,  his  choice  is  apt 
to  be  even  more  limited — not  to  what  happens  to  be  in 
stock  but  to  what  happens  to  be  actually  on  display  on 
the  counters  or  in  the  windows. 

It  is  a  fact  on  which  most  retailers  agree  that  nine 
purchases  out  of  ten  are  decided  upon  on  the  spot  of 
purchase.  People  buy  what  they  can  see  and  examine. 
Even  in  the  infrequent  instances  in  which  the  general 
shopper  comes  in  with  a  definite  request  for  a  certain 
brand  of  a  certain  article,  he  or  she  can  often  be  per- 
suaded to  accept  something  else  if  the  desired  brand 
is  not  in  stock. 

Tremendous  sums  are  spent  nowadays  by  the  mo- 
dern store  on  means  to  turn  to  commercial  advantage 
this  universal  characteristic  of  shoppers.  The  display 
of  goods  in  windows  and  counters  is  regarded  as  one 
of  the  most  important  phases  of  scientific  salesman- 
ship. In  other  words,  the  retail  stores  have  it  in 
their  power  to  very  largely  determine,  by  what  they 
stock  and  display,  what  actually  is  bought  and  con- 
sumed by  their  patrons. 

It  is  just  here  that  the  retailers  of  California  are 
in  a  position  to  render  a  service  of  literally  inestim- 
able value  to  the  state,  to  every  one  of  its  individual 
citizens  and  business  organizations  and  to  themselves. 

This  is  through  the  stocking  and  the  display,  intelli- 
gently and  enthusiastically,  of  California-made  goods 
and  their  presentation  to  inquiring  shoppers  strictly 
on  their  merits  and  prices,  in  contradistinction  to 
goods  brought  from  distant  manufacturing  centers. 

Take   for   example   the   typical   case   of   Mrs.   Jones. 

Mrs.  Jones  needs  a  new  bedroom  suite.  She  has 
$300  to  spend  for  it.  She  knows  that  she  wants  a  cer- 
tain style  and  finish  of  bedstead,  dresser,  bureau  or 
chiffonier  and  chair.  She  knows  nothing  whatever  of 
trade  names  or  brands  of  furniture.  Grand  Rapids, 
Mich.,  or  Inglewood,  Cal.,  are  pretty  much  the  same 
to  her.  She  wants  the  best  she  can  get  for  the  money 
she  has  to  spend. 

Mrs.  Jones  goes  to  one  of  the  two  principal  furni- 
ture stores  in  her  city  and  asks  to  see  bedroom  suites. 
She  tells  the  clerk  in  a  general  way  what  she  wants 
and  how  much  she  wishes  to  pay.  She  is  shown  what 
the  stock  affords  in  that  particular  kind  of  bedroom 
furniture.  The  prices  of  the  sets  of  the  kind  she 
wants  are  perhaps  a  little  higher  than  she  wishes  to 
pay.  She  is  a  canny  shopper  and  $300  is  a  good  deal 
of  money  to  her.     She  defers  decision,  saying  she  will 


"look  around   a  little."     She  takes  some  of  the  store's 
literature   on    bedroom   furniture   with   her. 

From  the  furniture  store  Mrs.  Jones  proceeds  to  the 
afternoon  meeting  of  her  club — a  typical  California 
organization  of  earnest  women,  filled  with  a  genuine 
desire  to  make  their  efforts  accomplish  something  of 
value  to  their  neighborhood,  their  city  and  their  state. 
The  subject  of  the  afternoon  happens  to  be  that  of 
patronizing  home  products,  a  state-wide  campaign  of 
California  clubwomen  to  promote  in  every  legitimate 
way  the  use  of  California-made  goods  by  Califor- 
nians.  Mrs.  Jones  has  heard  of  this  in  a  casual  way. 
She  has  formed  no  very  definite  opinion  on  the  sub- 
ject but  knows  that  women  for  whose  judgment  she 
has  respect  believe  in  it  and  that  the  club  as  a  body 
has  indorsed  it.  It  has  not  come  particularly  close 
home  to  her  as  yet. 

The  speaker  of  the  afternoon  tells  Mrs.  Jones  a  lot 
of  things  she  had  never  thought  of  regarding  the  bene- 
fits to  accrue  to  Mrs.  Jones  personally  and  to  the 
Jones  family  from  a  general  patronage  by  Califor- 
nians  of  the  products  of  California  factories.  She  is 
staggered  to  learn  of  the  immense  sums  of  money 
annually  going  out  of  California  for  goods  made  in 
the  East — money  that  never  comes  back.  She  learns 
that  California  makes  exactly  these  same  goods  and 
sells  them,  quality  for  quality,  at  a  lower  price  be- 
cause there  is  no  long-haul  freight  to  pay.  She  learns 
that  if  Californians  would  buy  at  home  where  they 
can  do  so  to  their  own  financial  advantage,  there 
would  be  work  in  California  factories  for  more  than 
twice  as  many  artisans  as  now.  It  is  made  plain  to 
her  how  the  great  increase  in  the  volume  of  California 
manufactures  is  directly  reflected  in  greater  prosperity 
for  everyone  in  every  line  of  endeavor. 

"This  is  not  isolation  nor  provincialism,"  said  the 
speaker.  "It  is  not  a  boycott  of  the  East  to  be  re- 
flected in  retaliatory  measures  by  the  East  against 
California  goods.  It  is  merely  the  doctrine  of  buying 
at  home  those  things  which,  quality  for  quality,  can 
be  bought  at  home  to  better  advantage  than  similar 
goods  from  distant  markets.  This  advantage  is  a 
double  one — in  lower  prices  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
first  cost  does  not  have  to  include  freight  rates  and 
because  the  money  will  stay  at  home. 

'Ir  is  ncr  .  xi.ected  nor  recommended  that  this 
policy  shall  be  extended  to  an  endeavor  to  buy  from 
California  factories  everything  we  use.  Such  a  thing 
would  not  be  possible  nor  desirable.  There  are  many 
things  which,  for  geographical  and  other  reasons,  can 
be  made  to  greater  economic  advantage  elsewhere 
than  in  California,  exactly  as  there  are  many  things 
we  can  produce  here  better  than  can  be  done  any- 
where else. 

"It  may  be  stated,  however,  without  any  reserva- 
tion whatever  that  if  Californians  will  buy  nothing 
more  than  merely  those  California-made  things  which 
they  can  buy  more  cheaply,  quality  being  the  same, 
than  they  can  goods  made  in  other  places,  it  will  more 
than  double — in  some  cases  treble — the  output  of  Cali- 
fornia factories,  it  will  multiply  by  two  the  number  of

their  building  plans,  will  stimulate  ihe  realty  market 
by  this  and  by  bringing  to  California  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  new  people  every  year  and  at  the  same 
time  create  work  for  them.  It  will  be  a  stimulus  to 
every  business,  profession  and  industry,  will  be  a 
guarantee  against  hard  times,  will  make  better  wages 
and  easier  money  and  more  prosperity  for  everybody. 
It  is  unnecessary  to  take  my  word  for  this — merely 
figure  out  for  yourselves  what  the  result  would  be,  in 
ist  own  neighborhood,  of  doubling  the  demand  for 
the  output  of  one  California  factory  and  trace  for 
yourselves  the  wide  ramifications  of  the  financial 
benefits  that  would  follow.  Multiply  this  by  the  num- 
ber of  factories  and  industries  in  California  and  you 
will  begin  to  get  some  conception  of  the  real  scope  of 
this  undertaking." 

Mrs.  Jones,  whose  husband  is  the  cashier  of  a 
branch  bank  in  a  semi-manufacturing  district,  whose 
annual    bonuses   to    its   employees    are   computed    upon 


the  volume  of  new  business  done  by  the  bank,  finds 
in  this  no  little  food  for  speculation  as  to  the  benefits 
that  might  come  to  the  Jones  family  if  the  business  of 
every  factory  doing  business  with  the  bank  should  be 
doubled. 

She  fishes  out  the  literature  regarding  bedroom 
suites  which  she  brought  from  the  furniture  store 
with  the  determination  that  her  family  will  make  with 
that  $300  the  beginning  of  a  consistent  patronage  of 
California  industries.  Every  one  of  the  articles  listed 
is  an  Eastern  product. 

Forthwith,  Mrs.  Jones  makes  her  way  to  the  other 
furniture  store.  Again  she  specifies  her  wants,  but 
this  time  they  are  prefaced  with  the  firm  declaration 
that  the  suite  must  be  California-made.  She  is  shown 
a  wide  variety  of  California  furniture  and  is  de- 
lighted to  find  that  a  set  even  better  adapted  to  her 
wants  than  the  first  one  is  available  at  a  price  con- 
siderably lower  than  was  demanded  for  the  Eastern 
product. 

"They  cost  about  the  same  to  make,"  explained  the 
clerk.  "But  this  set  is  made  right  here  and  its  price 
does  not  include  a  large  shipping  cost.  It  is  really  a 
better  article,  though  its  name  is  not  quite  so  well 
known.  I  think,  though,  that  if  the  big  call  we  have 
been  having  lately  for  California-made  furniture 
keeps  up,  it  will  not  be  long  until  our  brands  are  bet- 
ter known — here  at  least — than  anything  that  ever 
came  out  of   Grand  Rapids." 


THE  CLUB  WOMAN  AND   HOME   PRODUCTS 

By  Blanche  Friend  Austin 


TIME  was  when  Southern  California's  main 
crop  was  tourists  and  her  largest  allurement 
was  climate.  The  climate  is  still  here  and 
tourists  still  flock  in  increasing  numbers,  but  Southern 
California  has  created  an  industrial  empire  that  will 
compare  with  the  long-established  manufacturing 
sections  of  the  East. 

In  fact,  the  main  trouble  just  now  is  the  newness 
of  the  industrial  zone  that  circles  Los  Angeles.  Its 
products  are  as  good  as  any  sent  out  from  the  East; 
in  many  instances  California-made  goods  are  better, 
cheaper  and  easier  to  get.  Why  then  should  there  be 
any  trouble  about  disposing  of  home  products? 

The  main  difficulty  is  with  the  buying  public.  No 
loyal  California  merchant  will  refuse  to  deal  with  a 
local  wholesaler  or  manufacturer,  if  the  goods  offered 
him  come  up  to  standard.  But  the  retailer,  unfor- 
tunately, has  learned  that  many  folks  insist  upon 
brands  that  they  know  in  the  East;  lines  that  are  ad- 
vertised in  the  national  magazines. 

This  creates  a  handicap  for  the  coast  manufacturer, 
even  if  his  goods  are  just  as  good  as  those  coming 
from  some  well  known  manufacturing  center  in  the 
East. 

The  best  way  of  overcoming  this  handicap  is  to  give 
widest  publicity  to  home-grown  products,  to  Califor- 
nia-made goods. 

The  women  have  taken  up  this  most  important  work 
and  have  used  their  influence  in  local  centers.  The 
clubs  are  doing  a  most  effective  work  along  these 
lines.  Their  campaign  has  long  been  under  way. 
The  peak  of  achievement  will  not  be  reached  for 
years. 

All  the  readers  of  this  magazine  can  help.  Let  all 
who  have  the  welfare  of  this  grand  old  state  of  ours 
at    heart,    remember    to    ask    for    our    owji    splendid 


brands  of  fruit,  our  own  home-made  hosiery  and  un- 
derthings;  attire  manufactured  in  our  home  shops, 
household    furnishings    made    in    California. 

Instead  of  asking  for  the  "Doolittle"  line  of  stock- 
ings, next  time  inquire  for  the  Mission  or  some  other 
brand  made  in  California.  When  you  ask  for  a  bath- 
ing suit,  get  the  kind  manufactured  in  Los  Angeles, 
or  at   least  in   California. 

Study  the  newspapers  and  magazines  to  learn  just 
what  articles  are  made  in  California.  Remember  that 
some  of  the  best  known  products  in  the  United  States, 
attained  their  pre-eminence  solely  through  advertis- 
ing. Printers'  ink  will  make  the  obscure  product  of 
today   the    premier    seller   of   tomorrow. 

This  is  an  important  subject  and  so  many-sided 
space  would  not  suffice  to  even  touch  on  all  the  argu- 
ments. But  remember  this:  That  every  dollar  ex- 
pended for  products  made  in  our  own  California 
cities,  is  retained  here.  The  nimble  dollar  leaps  from 
one  to  another  but  does  not  go  back  East.  Why  spend 
our  money  on  Eastern  products  when  those  same 
Eastern  manufacturers  are  doing  nothing  for  us? 

Patronize  home  industry.  Do  your  best  in  sounding 
the  praises  of  meritorious  home  brands.  Talk  it 
over  in  your  clubs  and  circles.  Your  husband,  your 
brother,  your  son  will  profit  by  your  loyal  support 
of  industries  that  are  to  make  of  Los  Angeles  and  its 
environs  an  ideal  industrial  city  set  among  semi- 
tropic  vegetation  where  the  weather  is  always  fine 
and  the  rain  falls  upon  the  parched  ground  when  it 
is  most  needed. 

A  fine  sense  of  loyalty,  a  deeper  responsibility,  a 
closer  appreciation  of  "OUR"  development,  will  all 
help  this  campaign  for  home  products  and  home  in- 
dustries.

The  CLUBtVOMAN 


THE   HOME   PRODUCTS  OF   LOS  ANGELES 


By  E.  H.   Tucker,  Director  of  Research,    First    National    Bank 


THE  cost  of  living  in  Los  Angeles  compares  most 
favorably  with  the  costs  of  living  in  other  large 
cities  in  the  United  States.  Of  course,  most 
people  know  that  one  reason  for  this  is  that  no  big 
fuel  bills  are  necessary;  no  heavy  winter  clothing  is 
needed  ;  that  electricity,  gas,  water  and  telephone  are 
obtainable  at  moderate  costs;  that  living  conditions 
are  most  attractive ;  that  fresh  fruits,  vegetables  and 
dairy  products  are  available  the  year  round  at  rea- 
sonable prices  and  that  owing  to  the  mildness  of  cli- 
mate, building  construction  costs  are  materially  less 
than  in  Eastern  cities,  thus  making  a  large  saving 
in  rents  and  costs  of  homes. 

But  many  of  our  residents  do  not  realize  that  an- 
other important  item  in  the  cost  of  living  here,  lies 
in  the  relative  cheapness  of  a  vast  number  of  manu- 
factured products,  cheaper  because  the  above  men- 
tioned factors  plus  climate,  cheaper  power,  water, 
etc.,  permit  manufacturing  locally  at  a  price  below 
that  available  to  many  other  parts  of  the  country. 
These  people  are  unaware  of  this  condition  because 
they  do  not  realize  now  many  of  the  ordinary  articles 
of  wearing  apparel,  or  food,  or  objects  of  everyday 
use  in  the  home  or  office,  are  manufactured  locally 
from  raw  materials  obtained  in  the  Pacific-Southwest 
and  offered  at  a  price  which  justifies  every  resident 
of  Los  Angeles  in  demanding  and  using  these  home 
products. 

For  example,  a  great  portion  of  the  United  States 
production  of  wool  comes  from  the  Pacific-Southwest 
and  much  of  this  together  with  cotton  from  the  Im- 
perial Valley  is  now  brought  together  in  Los  Angeles 
in  an  industry  of  over  250  plants,  employing  10,000 
people  with  a  weekly  payroll  of  over  $300,000,  and  a 
weekly  production  valued  at  over  $40,000,000,  thus 
making    this    city    the    largest    apparel    manufacturing 


center  west  of  Chicago.  The  design  and  excellence 
of  Los  Angeles  manufactured  wearing  apparels  is 
known  throughout  the  country  and  in  many  foreign 
nations.  This  list  of  products  includes  such  items  as 
shirts,  overalls,  work  and  sports  clothing,  woolens, 
shirt  waists,  blouses,  pajamas,  dresses,  cloaks,  suits, 
frocks,   children's   togs,   neckties,   collars,   etc. 

The  ample  supply  of  nearby  lumber,  together  with 
superior  conditions  of  labor  combine  to  produce  over 
$20,000,000  worth  of  furniture  annually;  items  rang- 
ing from  reed  and  rattan  articles  to  the  finest  uphol- 
stered mahogany  pieces.  Several  makes  of  phono- 
graphs as  well  as  cabinet  fixtures,  interior  wood 
work,  mantels,  toys  and  great  quantities  of  paints, 
varnishes  and   interior  finishes   are   all  local   products. 

The  output  of  food  is  one  of  Los  Angeles's  largest 
industries.  The  first  city  in  the  country  in  size  and 
volume  of  fish  canneries,  first  in  tonnage  of  fish 
brought  into  port,  huge  packing  plants  for  meat  prod- 
ucts, great  modern  biscuit,  cracker  and  confectionery 
factories,  scores  of  fruit  and  vegetable  packing  plants 
and  several  large  cereal  and  flour  mills  produce  a 
variety  of  foods  to  meet  the  most  exacting  and  in- 
dividual tastes. 

These  are  only  a  few  instances  of  the  great  diversi- 
fication of  Los  Angeles  manufacturing  products,  ar- 
ticles which  are  truly  "home  products"  in  that  all  the 
stages  of  development  from  the  raw  material  to  the 
finished  state  takes  place  within  our  Pacific-Southwest 
empire.  The  future  of  these  "home"  products  is  de- 
pendent, to  a  large  extent,  upon  the  consumers  of  this 
area  themselves,  to  the  extent  that  they  acquaint  them- 
selves with  this  development,  and  realize  that  it  is  no 
longer  necessary  to  resort  to  Eastern  sources  to  pro- 
vide  these   necessities.

IMPORTANT  DATES    IN    CLUB    LAND 


By  Grace  Frye 


ALL  clubdom  has  been  eagerly  awaiting  an- 
nouncement of  the  exact  dates  of  the  big  events 
scheduled  for  this  year's  work.  Of  importance, 
therefore,  is  the  word  received  from  Mrs.  John  C. 
Urquhart,  State  President,  that  the  State  convention 
will   be   held   in   Pasadena,   May   30   and   31. 

Pasadena  Shakespeare  Club  will  act  as  hostess  in 
its  new  club  house  and  the  other  clubs  of  the  neigh- 
borhood will  co-operate,  in  true  community  spirit, 
making  this  convention  one  long  to  be  remembered. 
Mrs.  Clayton  Taylor  is  the  newly  elected  president  of 
the  Shakespeare  Club  and  will  be  remembered  by 
many  as  the  District  Chairman  of  Federation  Ex- 
tension. 

As  the  opening  date  of  the  convention  is  Memorial 
Day  it  has  been  planned  to  open  with  an  evening 
meeting  in  observance  of  this  day  and  the  community 
at  large  will  be  invited.  The  program  will  be  under 
the  direction  of  Mrs.  Maynard  Force  Thayer,  State 
Chairman  of  American  Citizenship  and  Mrs.  Seward 
Simons,   State   Chairman  of   International  Relations. 

The  following  day,  May  31,  will  be  devoted  entirely 
to  business  which  will  necessarily  have  to  be  con- 
densed to  be  outlined  in  this  brief  time.  There  has 
been  some  feeling  that,  owing  to  the  biennial  being 
here  this  year,  no  State  Conference  should  be  held, 
but  inasmuch  as  there  seemed  to  be  State  business  that 
must  be  taken  care  of,  it  was  finally  decided  to  make 
this  convention  purely  for  business  and  as  brief  as 
possible  so  these  dates  were  selected  because  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  biennial  will  immediately  follow,  al- 
though the  date  has  not  yet  been  given  from  official 
headquarters.  In  event  the  biennial  comes  the  first 
week  of  June,  this  will  enable  many  to  also  attend  the 
State  Convention,  which  would  have  been  impossible 
to  those  coming  from  a  distance  had  the  dates  been 
too  far  apart. 


Another  date,  of  great  significance  to  every  club 
in  the  federation,  is  the  coming  visit  of  Mrs.  Thomas 
Winter,  President  of  the  General  Federation  of  Wom- 
en's Clubs.  Los  Angeles  will  be  fortunate  enough  to 
have  Mrs.  Winter  give  two  public  addresses  while 
here.  The  first  one  will  be  a  general  meeting  to  be 
held  in  Trinity  Auditorium  November  12,  at  10  o'clock 
with  a  luncheon  at  the  Biltmore  following.  It  will  be 
needless  to  urge  that  every  club  in  the  district  be  rep- 
resented as  the  fame  of  Mrs.  Winter  as  a  public 
speaker  is  as  well  known  to  club  women  as  her  great 
accomplishment  in  the  work  of  the  federation.  The 
second  appearance  here  of  Mrs.  Winter  will  be  at  the 
regular    meeting   of   the   Friday   Morning   Club   to   be 


held  in  Trinity  Auditorium,  November  16,  at  the  reg- 
ular morning  meeting  hour. 

Mrs.  John  C.  Urquhart,  State  President,  has  planned 
to  meet  Mrs.  Winter  in  Sacramento  November  6  and 
accompany    her    on    this    itinerary    through    the    State. 

Sacramento — Nov.   6. 

San   Francisco- — Nov.   8. 

Berkeley — Nov.  9. 

Fresno — Nov.   12. 

Los  Angeles — Nov.   12,  General   District  Meeting. 

Riverside — Nov.  15,  Southern  District  Convention. 

Los  Angeles — Nov.   16,   Friday  Morning  Club. 

Prior  to  meeting  Mrs.  Winter,  Mrs.  Urquhart  has 
planned  to  spend  two  weeks  among  the  northern  dis- 
tricts of  the  State  where  she  hopes  to  be  able  to  at- 
tend most  of  the  County  Conventions  and  is  scheduled 
to  make  about  twenty  addresses  before  different  groups 
of  women  during  that  time. 


District  Conventions  are  scheduled  as  follows: 
Northern  District,  March  19  to  March  26,  inclusive. 
Mrs.  Lydia  Lawhead  is  District  President.  The  San 
Joaquin  Convention  will  be  held  at  Fresno,  March  26, 
2  and  28,  inclusive,  at  which  Mrs.  L.  P.  Mitchell, 
president,  will  preside.  Alameda  District  will  con- 
vene April  3,  4  and  5,  directed  by  Mrs.  Elon  Warner, 
district  president.  Los  Angeles  District  will  have  its 
convention  at  Glendale,  April  8,  9  and  10,  at  which 
Mrs.  Charles  Toll,  district  president,  will  preside. 
San  Francisco  is  to  select  dates  in  the  first  or  last 
week  of  April,  the  meeting  place  to  be  Asilomar.  Mrs. 
E.  J.  Wales  is  president  of  that  district. 


President's  Councils  are  promising  to  be  miniature 
conventions  under  the  capable  generalship  of  Mrs. 
Charles  Toll,  district  president,  and  judging  by  the 
interest  and  attendance  at  the  opning  one  held  at  the 
Ebell  Club  September  24  it  will  be  a  question  of  limit- 
ing the  attendance.  Every  minute  of  the  time  at  this 
council  was  filled  according  to  a  schedule  prepared  by 
Mrs.  Toll  and  the  future  ones  will  be  also  planned 
in  htis  manner.  In  this  way  each  club  will  receive 
individual  attention  and  help  for  its  problems.  The 
Pathfinder  Club  of  Compton  will  act  as  hostess  club 
for  the  next  President's  Council,  Thursday,  Oct.  25, 
for  an  all  day  sssion.  November  will  doubtless  not 
have  any  special  council  on  account  of  the  full  dates 
for  Mrs.  Winter's  stay.  December  council  will  be 
held  with  the  Twentieth  Century  Club  of  Eagle  Rock, 
completing  this  year's  dates.

EXTRACTS  FROM  A  FOREWORD  LETTER  FROM  MRS. 

ROBERT  J.  BURDETTE,   DIRECTOR  FOR 

CALIFORNIA,  G.  F.  W.  C. 


O"   inestimable   value  to   all   clubs   is  the   letter  of 
Mrs.  Robert  J.  Burdette,  Director  for  California 
of   the   General   Federation   of  Women's   Clubs. 
Starting  with  a  brief  outline  of  the  Biennial  Council 
meting   held    at   Atlanta   she   goes   on   to     say,     under 
the  caption: 

NeiB  Policies 

Under  the  relation  of  the  departments  to  the  Fed- 
eration, and  of  the  divisions  and  committees  to  the 
departments,  the  rule  was  again  reaffirmed  that  money 
cannot  be  raised,  either  in  the  names  of  the  General 
Federation,  nor  by  persons  employed  by  the  Federa- 
tion, without  the  consent  of  the  Federation  or  the 
Executive  Committee.  All  moneys  raised  for  a  defi- 
nite purpose  must  go  through  the  General  Federation 
Treasurer.  These  policies  might  well  be  adopted  in 
the  state. 

Due  to  the  confusion  that  has  arisen  by  our  use  of 
the  word  "politics"  in  two  distinct  ways ;  first,  the 
use   of   "politics"    to   signify   partisan     activities,     and 


second,  the  use  of  "politics"  to  signify  activities  of 
legislation, — the  Council  Meeting  recommended  that 
we  advise  state  and  club  organizations  in  the  follow- 
ing manner:  First,  that  as  a  Federation  containing 
in  its  membership  women  of  all  parties,  we  do  not  as 
an  organization  or  as  clubs  take  part  in  partisan  poli- 
tics. Second,  as  members  of  all  parties,  we  agree  to 
unite  in  working  on  behalf  of  measures  to  which  we 
have  given  mutual  consent.  We  work  for  measures, 
not  for  men.  Third,  club  organizations  are  urged  to 
promote  the  candidacy  of  women  on  the  basis  of  fit- 
ness and  not  on  the  basis  of  sex.  Fourth,  club  organi- 
zations are  urged  to  guard  against  the  use  of  the  club 
machinery  for  partisan  politics  or  the  exploitation  of 
the  club  for  the  benefit  of  a  particular  candidate. 

The  General  Federation  has  also  set  forth  the 
policy  that  it  will  not  accept  dues  from  any  club  which 
has  not  paid  State  dues. 

A  special  request  to  the  clubs  is  made  through  the 
director,  that  when  the  colors  of  our  nation  are  used

in  decoration,  bunting  and  not  our  flag  be  used,  and

Resolutions 
Many  resolutions  of  importance  were  passed  at  the 
Atlanta  Council,  hoping  the  states  would  take  similar 
action.  In  brief,  the  resolutions  referring  to  the  en- 
forcement of  the  18th  Amendment;  Federal  minimum 
law  for  the  protection  of  children  by  an  amendment 
to  the  constitution,  authorizing  Congress  to  pass  such 
a  law;  the  anti-narcotic  resolution  unanimously 
passed;  the  endorsement  of  the  working  out  of  prin- 
ciples looking  toward  a  better  international  under- 
standing and  the  hearing  and  adjudication  by  orderly 
judicial  procedure  of  international  controversies, 
which   are    susceptible   of    settlement   through    judicial 


tribunals;  the  approval  of  an  immigration  policy  by 
Congress,  which  shall  provide  for  the  regulation  of 
selected  immigration  of  law-abiding,  assimilable 
aliens,  coming  from  all  countries,  according  to  the 
percentage  basis,  all  the  relevant  facts,  both  in  Amer- 
ica and  in  other  lands  being  ascertained  with  scien- 
tific care  by  expert  immigration  examiners  in  the  lands 
from  which  immigrants  come;  the  suppression  of 
news  of  crimes  from  the  first  page  of  the  newspapers; 
the  approval  of  a  moveemnt  for  better  homes  in 
America ;  and  the  commitment  of  the  General'  Fed- 
eration to  the  use  of  its  best  efforts  to  wipe  out  illiter- 
acy by  1930. 

fVork  of  Our  Immediate  Future 
The  work  of  our  immediate  future  is  the  prepara- 
tion for  the  coming  Biennial   Convention,  to  be  held 
in  Los  Angeles  in  1924,  with  all  California   assisting.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


We  cannot  be  good  hostesses  if  we  are  not  good  home 
keepers,  so  we  must  not  neglect  the  regular  work  of 
the  year  while  preparing  for  the  Convention.  It  is 
more  essential  than  ever-  that  all  committees  of  State 
and  Districts  and  clubs  function  promptly  and  earn- 
estly. This  means  the  answering  of  letters  promptly, 
listening  attentively,  acting  efficiently,  and  finding  ten 
cents  per  capita  with  which  to  make  the  club  mem- 
bership 100%   strong  in  the  General  Federation. 

It  is  our  desire  that  California  shall  not  fail  in 
any  way  to  fulfill  every  expectation  and  to  set  new 
standards  in  its  hospitality  and  courtesy  to  the  Gen- 
eral Federation.  To  this  end  let  us  demonstrate  earn- 
estness of  purpose  and  leadership  without  seeming  to 
do  so;  be  unfailing  in  consideration  of  duties  and 
service  and  begin  now  to  anticipate  and  assume  re- 
sponsibility. 

The  program  of  the  Convention  will  be  interesting 
and  inspiring,  and  the  business  of  the  Convention  will 
be  instructive  and  mark  our  desire  for  great  leader- 
ship along  world  lines,  this  being  the  year  of  the  elec- 
tion. 

May  I  say  personally,  it  is  my  opinion  that  dele- 
gates to  any  convention  should  go  uninstructed.  If 
they  are  not  wise  enough,  loyal  enough,  trustworthy 
enough,  to  express  the  wish  of  the  majority  of  the  body 
sending  them,  subject  to  new  conditions  which  always 
arise,  they  are  not  the  high  type  of  delegates  your  or- 
ganization deserves.  Again,  many  a  grievous  mis- 
take   has    been    made   by   pledging   strength    and    help

Transformation 

Will  Save 

Your  Hair 


If  your  hair  has  been  damaged  by  dyeing  or 
unwise  waving,  or  bobbed,  there  is  no  better 
way  to  help  it  recover  than  to  let  it  rest  for  a 
few  months  under  a  becoming  transformation. 
As  made  by  M.  Fredrickson  Hair  Co.,  a  trans- 
formation is  so  natural  in  effect  that  no  one 
will  know  that  it  is  not  your  own  hair  grown 
beautiful   again. 

Frederickson  Transformations  are  created  of 
the  finest,  naturally  wavy  hair,  arranged  on 
airily  light  foundations  of  net.  They  are  to 
be  had  in  many  styles  to  suit  your  particular 
need.

THE  SPIRITUAL  FORCE   OF   UNDERSTANDING 

By  Blanche  Friend  Austin 


WITH  the  ink  scarcely  dry  on  the  record  of 
their  achievements  of  the  past  year,  the  Cali- 
fornia Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  is  be- 
ginning the  new  year  with  ideals  and  aspirations, 
which  are  fed,  not  alone  from  springs  of  zeal  and 
fervor,  but  which  require  in  proper  proportion  intelli- 
gence, reason,  and  orderly  thinking  that  can  come 
alone   from   perfect  organization. 

With  the  theme  of  the  year's  work,  "The  Spiritual 
Force  of  Understanding"  as  offered  by  the  State  Presi- 
dent, Mrs.  John  C.  Urquhart  at  Asilomar,  and  ac- 
cepted unanimously  as  a  working  basis,  the  Federa- 
tion is  sending  forth  its  women  bearing  testimony  to 
the  truth  of  the  words  of  President  Coolidge:  "The 
work  of  the  world  will  not  be  done  unless  it  is  done 
from  a  motive  of  righteousness." 

In  every  possible  way,  in  all  outlines  of  work,  in 
thought,  in  deed,  the  idea  of  peace  is  to  be  stressed; 
Mrs.  Urquhart,  whose  deep  understanding  is  always 
several  laps  ahead  of  the  actual  experience,  is  not 
launching  a  peace  ship,  but  she  is  asking  her  women 
to  make  staunch  the  "ways"  for  its  launching,  when 
the  great  time  shall  come. 

"The  Spiritual  Force  of  Understanding"  was  the 
theme  submitted   by  Mrs.  Urquhart  at  the  first  execu- 


tive board  meeting  last  month.  When  she  said,  "We 
must  progress  in  our  work  as  individuals  and  as  na- 
tions and  unless  our  material  advancement  is  guided 
by  spiritual  values  we  work  in  vain. 

"Understanding  among  the  nations  waits  somewhat 
on  our  individual  ability  to  comprehend,  on  the  basis 
of  clear  unbiased  judgment  of  the  world  problem  con- 
fronting us.  The  women  of  California  must  and  will 
play  their  important  part  in  getting  down  to  funda- 
mentals. We  need  tolerance,  resulting  from  intelli- 
gent thinking,  that  the  old  fears  and  hatreds  may  be 
rightly  eliminated;  and  we  cannot  achieve  through 
cowardly  isolation." 

So  closely  woven  are  the  threads  of  thought  and  ac- 
tion as  advanced  by  the  California  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  and  the  threads  of  thought  and  ac- 
tion as  advanced  by  the  World  Conference  of  Educa- 
tors, that  the  two  great  bodies  must  needs  come  in 
very  close  contact,  though  the  busy  looms  may  be 
often  far  apart. 

"To  make  the  world  safe  by  education"  is  the  task 
of  the  educators.  To  try  by  education  to  remove  the 
emphasis  from  battle  and  strife,  and  to  put  the  stress 
on  the  moral  and  intellectual  forces  that  have  been 
active   down   through    the    centuries,   but   which    seem

to  have  been  forgotten  by  a  war-torn  world.  To 
teach  peace,  and  to  practice  it,  to  love  peace  and  exalt 
its  victories,  are  teachings  of  both  great  organizations. 
"We  have  learned,"  said  Miss  Charlotte  Ormond 
Williams,  field  secretary  of  the  National  Education 
Association,  "that  the  children  of  one  nation  do  not 
hate  the  children  of  another  nation  unless  they  are 
taught  to  do  so.  We  and  the  teachers  of  the  world 
are  resolved  that  henceforth  we  will  refuse,  forever, 
to  furnish  that  kind  of  instruction.  Everything — 
militarism,  imperialism,  superstition — has  been  called 
upon  to   unite   the  world.     Education   alone   has   been 


untried.  We  are  here  to  unite  the  intellectual  life  of 
mankind  in  common  humanity.  If  we  cannot  educate 
them  for  peace  it  isn't  worth  while  to  educate.  He 
who  serves  his  country  well,  serves  the  world  well; 
and  he  who  serves  the  world  well  serves  his  country 
well.  War  shall  be  outlawed  first  from  the  schools 
and  then  from  the  world.  Education  is  the  only  sure 
preparation  for  peace  and  the  world  brotherhood. 
Let  us  use  it  for  those  ends.  If  Washington  were 
here  today  he  would  say,  'It  is  small  and  secret  alli- 
ances that  entangle.  Our  safety  as  a  nation  with 
other  nations  dmands  our  union  in  an  alliance  that  is 
world   wide'."

WORK  OF  THE   LOS  ANGELES   AUDUBON   SOCIETY 

By  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo,  Press    Chairman 


IN  the  year  1813  John  James  Audubon  "observed  a 
flock  of  passenger  pigeons  which  took  three  days 
to  fly  past  a  certain  point!  There  were  more  than 
two  and  a  quarter  billion  pigeons  in  that  one  drove. 
The  air  was  literally  filled  with  pigeons,  the  light  of 
noonday  was  obscured  as  by  an  eclipse."  Stefansson, 
the  arctic  explorer,  tells  of  Banks  Island  several  hun- 
dred miles  north  of  the  Arctic  Circle,  being  "white 
with  millions  of  wavy  geese;  and  R.  C.  Murphy  of 
the  American  Museum,  speaks  of  almost  a  million 
cormorants  living  on  a  tiny  island  off  the  coast  of 
Peru." 

Bcause  of  the  almost  universal  distribution  and  the' 
incalculable  numbers  in  which  we  find  them,  we  can 
readily  see  that  birds  play  a  major  part  in  the  cosmos 
of  our  planet. 

"Their  greatest  function  in  nature  is  the  utilization 
of  their  vast  numbers  to  aid  in  the  maintenance  of 
the  great  balance.  They  help  to  hold  within  bounds 
the  spread  of  vegetation;  through  their  efforts  the 
enormous  shoals  of  fish  are  limited,  and  barren  pools 
are  stocked.  They  reduce  the  number  of  crop-de- 
stroying rodents  and  they  act  as  food  for  the  support 
and  growth  of  other  animals.  In  other  words,  birds 
are  efficient  policemen,  successful  executioners,  care- 
ful husbandmen,  and  faithful  martyrs  to  their  cause. 
They  are  efficacious  guards  of  the  balance  of  nature; 
and  their  work  is  well  done." 

Realizing  the  enormous  value  of  birds  to  mankind, 
it  becomes  self  evident  that  they  should  not  be  al- 
lowed to  be  killed  off  entirely.  Yet  the  passenger 
pigeon,  the  great  auk,  Eskimo  curlew,  Labrador  duck, 
Pallas  cormorant,  and  Carolina  parakeet  have  been 
exterminated  for  their  plumage  and  for  food.  That 
we  may  leave  to  posterity  the  heritage  that  has  been 
ours  it  has  become  necessary  that  laws  be  enacted  to 
control   the  killing  of  our  birds. 

As  soon  as  the  U.  S.  Government  was  formed  in 
1776,  the  various  states  began  to  make  laws  govern- 
ing hunting  privileges,  says  Dr.  T.  S.  Palmer  of  the 
Biological  Survey,  in  a  Government  Bulletin  on 
American  Game  Protection.  These  applied  only  to 
game  birds,  and  many  hunters  made  no  distinction 
between  game   and   song  birds. 

In  1886  the  American  Ornithologists'  Union  drafted 
a  bill  for  protection  of  song  and  insectivorous  birds, 
but  it  was  not  until  the  Audubon  Society  workers  took 
up  the  subject  in  1909  that  any  headway  was  made. 
Today  this  law  is  on  the  statute  books  of  all  but  eight 
of  the  states  of  the  Union  and  it  is  called  the  Audubon 
Law. 

"We  Protec'  Birds,  Their  Eggs  and  Nests"  is  the 
motto  of  th4  !  idubon  Society,  and  only  by  organized 


effort  can  the  work  be  carried  on.  Theodore  Roose- 
velt needed  but  to  have  the  subject  put  before  him 
by  the  Audubon  Society  to  realize  its  magnitude  and 
he  was  the  first  President  to  establish  Federal  bird 
reservations  and  laws.  Not  only  national  but  inter- 
national laws  have  been  promoted  and  fostered  until 
now  the  Federal  government  has  entire  control  of 
making  laws  regarding  the  killing  of  migratory  birds. 
The  last  step  was  taken  this  past  summer  when  T. 
Gilbert  Pearson,  president  of  the  National  Association 
of  Audubon  Societies,  went  to  France  to  attend  the 
international  convention.  This  organization  included 
Australia,  the  United  States,  Canada  and  six  Euro- 
pean countries.  Mr.  Pearson  was  made  chairman  of 
a  committee  consisting  of  two  members  from  the  lead- 
ing national,  scientific  and  conservation  societies  in 
these  countries.  The  activity  this  year  was  to  protect 
small  birds  and  to  prohibit  export  and  import  of  bird 
plumage,  which  will  affect  every  country  in  the  world. 
The  first  international  movement  was  started  and  for- 
mally launched   in  London,  June  20,   1922. 

There  is  work  to  be  done  all  along  the  line  and 
the  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society  is  active  in  sup- 
porting all  necessary  legislation,  and  in  broadcasting 
the  value  of  its  organization  through  its  several  chair- 
men of  "Education,"  "Extension,"  "Trial  Trips,"  and 
"Press." 

Under  the  leadership  of  our  ardent  and  eflScient 
president,  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  enthusiasm  is  generated 
and  deep  roots  are  put  down  which  often  sprout  into 
the  State  Audubon  Society,  furnishing  that  organ  with 
most  of  its  officers.  Our  methods  are  broad;  we  take 
in  all  who  are  interested  to  come,  and  by  their  own 
volition  they  are  tested  and  remain  to  do  their  part 
for  the  good  of  the  cause.  The  Los  Angeles  Society 
has  not  only  furnished  the  State  Society  a  vice-presi- 
dent, a  treasurer,  a  recording  secretary  and  five  mem-

bers  on  its  Executive  Board  but  it  has  also  placed 
two  chairmen  on  the  Board  of  the  District  Federa- 
tion, where  Mrs.  Bicknell  served  two  years  as  Chair- 
man of  Birds  and  Wild  Life,  two  years  as  treasurer 
and  two  years  as  auditor.  Miss  Helen  Pratt  has 
served  four  years  as  Chairman  of  Birds  and  Wild 
Life  for  the  District,  and  the  incoming  chairman  is 
Mrs.  Harriet  Williams  Myers,  founder  and  honorary 
member  of   the   Los   Angeles   Audubon   Society. 

Mrs.  G.  H.  Schneider,  Chairman  of  Education,  has 
conducted  for  three  years,  the  Report  to  Bird-Lore  un- 
der "The  Season,"  this  being  a  cumulative  list  of  all 
birds  migrating  through  the  "Los  Angeles  Region." 
Members  of  the  society  pass  on  to  Mrs.  Schneider  any 
experience  of  interest;  the  arrival  or  departure  of 
species;  any  unusual  birds  or  birds  found  in  any  un- 
usual  place.     "The   Season"   department  of   Bird-Lore 


consists  of  reports  from  all  sections  of  the  United 
States,  thereby  being  very  instructive  and  informing 
as  to  the  migrations  of  all  birds. 

When  the  municipal  playground,  Camp  Seeley,  was 
established,  we  sent  our  Miss  Helen  Pratt  to  act  as 
Nature  Guide.  This  position  she  filled  for  two  years. 
Following  her  was  Mrs.  M.  C.  Barton  who  took  up 
the  work  with  great  zeal,  continuing  in  it  for  three 
years,  both  at  Camp  Seeley  and  Camp  Bradford,  up 
to  the  present  time. 

June  3,  1920,  the  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society 
dedicated  Griffith  Park,  the  largest  city  park  in  the 
United  States,  a  bird  sanctuary  with  appropriate  cere- 
monies and  by  placing  a  tablet  on  one  of  the  largest 
live  aoks.  Lists  of  all  resident  birds  of  the  park  have 
been  printed,  framed  under  glass  and  wire,  and  placed 
"where   all  who  run  may  read."

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  WOMEN'S  CLUB  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF 
SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA 


WHAT  CLUB  SERVICE  MEANS 
By  Mrs.  Rufus  B.  Von  KleinSmid 


IN  this  city  of  the  superlative  where  the  majority  of 
adjectives   end   in  est  or   are  preceded  by  most,  it 
leaves  one  rather  limp  in  an  attempt  to  describe  a 
bit  of  service  vphich  has  been  here  to   "carry  on." 

The  Women's  Club  of  the  University  of  Southern 
California  is  not  the  best,  the  biggest,  the  richest,  the 
most  prominent,  the  best  dressed,  the  most  talented, 
but  it  is   a   "plain,   blunt  club  which   loves   its   work." 

The  club's  raison  d'etre  holds  to  the  trinity  of 
values, — culture,  hospitality  and  philanthropy, — cul- 
ture in  the  monthly  program  of  high  merit,  hospitality 
in  the  pleasant  social  contacts  of  its  members,  but  over 
all  and  above  all  its  work  is  for  the  women  students 
of   the   University  of   Southern  California. 

Each  year  at  least  four  scholarships  are  main- 
tained, women  students  receieving  aid  from  the  Stu- 
dent Loan  Fund  which  is  replenished  yearly  by  pri- 
vate contributions,  a  percentage  of  the  annual  dues 
of  three  dollars  a  year,  and  the  proceeds  from  teas 
and  the  scholarship   and   president's   luncheons. 

The  most  ambitious  endeavor  of  the  club  is  the 
artist's  course,  a  series  of  five  musical  and  dramatic 
events   presenting   artists   of    international   fame. 

The  course  this  year  begins  with  the  recital  of 
Madame  Frances  Alda  on  October  22  in  Bovard  Audi- 
torium. This  signal  attraction  will  be  followed  by 
Josef  Lhevinne,  the  great  pianist,  Stuart  Walker's 
New  York  Portmanteau  Theater  in  the  unique  dra- 
matic version  of  "The  Book  of  Job."  The  fourth  con- 
cert will  be  given  by  the  Cherniavski  Trio  and  the 
fifth  event  will  be  the  recital  of  Renato  Zanelli,  the 
great  Metropolitan  Opera  baritone.  The  proceeds 
from  this  artist's  course  is  the  club's  gift  to  the  women 
of  the  university  for  their  three  unit  building,  a  dormi- 
tory,  gymnasium   and   home   economics   hall. 

The  University  of  Southern  California  Women's 
Club  has  one  especial  distinction  of  which  to  be  par- 
ticularly proud.  This  club  is  the  only  women's  club 
connected  with  a  University  which  is  a  member  of  the 
National   Federation. 

Though  the  club's  especial  field  of  endeavor  is  the 
University,  the  regular  monthly  programs  are  de- 
voted to  Federation  interests  and  important  current 
subjects.  The  club  welcomes  to  its  membership  not 
necessarily  college  women,  but  all  women  interested 
in  its  three-fold  purpose,  culture,  social  intercourse 
and  the  general  good  of  the  University  of  Southern 
California. 

An  electric  tram  is  a  peculiarly  fertile  field  where 
types  of  humanity  may  be  studied.  On  a  recent  tram 
journey  the  following   episode   occurred: 

Opposite  me  sat  a  woman  of  perfect  grooming; 
from  dainty  shoes,  to  chic  chapeau,  no  flaw  presented 


itself.  One  ungloved,  perfectly  manicured  hand  re- 
vealed exquisitely  white,  firm  flesh.  Her  complexion 
suggested  the  highest  art  of  the  beauty  shop.  She 
looked  so  deliciously  unaware  of  the  grime  and  toil 
of  life.  The  car  stopped  in  front  of  a  prominent  club 
house  and  an  entirely  different  type  of  woman  en- 
tered. In  surprise  she  approached  the  woman  of  ele- 
gant mien   and   spoke   enthusiastically: 

"My   dear,    it's   centuries    since   I    saw   you." 

"Yes,  somewhat  longish,"  answered  her  friend. 
"I  see  so  few  of  my  old  friends  of  late.  You  look 
weary  unto  death.     What  have  you  been  doing?" 

"Doing?  Well,  just  one  of  the  thousand  and  one 
things  which  I  wish  I  could  do.  This  morning  I've 
been  on  philanthropy  bent.  A  committee  meeting  and 
now  I'm  hustling  down  to  the  Goodwill  Industries  for 
a  nursery  committee   meeting." 

"Oh,  horrors!  Why  do  you  smudge  your  spirit, 
mind  and  body  with  such  depressing  work?  You'll 
becom  gloomy  and  old.  This  year  I've  resigned  from  , 
every  blessed  thing  that  spells  responsibility.  I'm  ■ 
through  working  myself  into  a  state  of  exhaustion, 
sacrificing  whatever  of  youth  I  may  possess  and  all 
for  what?  And  what  credit  does  one  receive  for  all 
this  effort?  I've  shifted  all  responsibility  on  to  who- 
ever wishes  to  assume  it." 

"You  truly  do  look  free  from  minutes,  reports,  pro- 
grams and  committees,  but  as  yet  I  never  have  been 
able  to  withstand  the  appeals  for  whatever  help  I 
may  be  able  to  render.  I  sometimes  wish  I  could,  but 
just  suppos  everybody,  all  at  once,  withdrew  their 
interest  and  co-operation  to  serve  this  confused, 
weary  old  world,  what  would  happen?  And  really, 
I've  never  stopped  to  think  about  the  subject  of  re- 
ceiving credit  for  my  puny  efforts." 

Which  type  does  each  of  us  exemplify?  Clubs  like 
individuals  grow  through  unselfish  service,  not  on  the 
deadly  personal  credit  system.  Off  with  personal 
aggrandizement  and  on  with  impersonal  general 
good.  Followers  are  as  important  to  an  organiza- 
tion's success  as  are  leaders.  Follow  your  leaders, 
not  because  you  like  them,  but  because  you  trust  their 
judgment.  Be  big  enough  to  minimize  your  judgment 
if  by  so  doing  you  are  able  to  maximize  the  plans  of 
your  leaders.  A  great  cause  must  gain  success  only 
through  the  devoted,  sympathetic  co-operation  of 
leader  and  follower.  The  great  ambition  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Southern  California  Women's  Club — a 
splendid  building  for  our  women  students — only  can 
be  realized  through  the  faithful  consecration  and  co- 
operation of  our  present  members  and  all  others  who 
may  join  us  this  year  in  the  equally  important  roles 
of   leaders   and   followers.

EAGLE  ROCK  WOMAN'S  TWENTIETH  CENTURY  CLUB 


COMMUNITY  SERVICE 
By  Emily  L.  Ong 


COOKING  over  the  program  of  the  club  for  the 
coming  club  year,  the  keynote  seems  to  be, 
"Community  Service."  Many  lines  of  vpork  are 
the  same  as  in  former  years,  but  some  important  ad- 
ditions have  been  made  necessary  by  the  growth  of 
the  club  and  the  greater  number  of  people  it  aims  to 
serve. 

The  music  section  will  have  a  woman's  chorus  and 
will  hold  one  meeting  a  month  devoted  to  commun- 
ity singing  under  a  skilled   director. 

The  civic  section  will  concern  itself  mainly  with 
questions  of  local  interest.  Two  programs  have  been 
arranged  for  January.  Good  speakers  will  present 
some  line  of  civic  work.  Under  this  committee  the 
annual  Dahlia  Show  will  be  given  October  4,  which 
is   an  event  of  great   local   interest 

During  the  year  an  art  exhibit  and  reception  will 
be  given,  open   to   the  public,   afternoon   and   evening. 

Child  welfare  work  under  Mrs.  M.  T.  Lee  will  in- 


clude a  baby  clinic  and  talks  on  child  welfare. 

Arts  and  crafts  work  under  Mrs.  C.  M.  Hensley 
promises  to   be   very  interesting   and   instructive. 

The  club  this  year  has  entered  upon  two  new  lines 
of  work,  namely  the  support  of  a  scholarship  in  Occi- 
dental College  and  the  founding  of  a  Junior  Auxili- 
ary to  the  club. 

One  of  the  aims  of  the  club  this  year,  as  stressed  by 
Mrs.  A.  G.  Reilly,  the  new  president,  is  a  closer 
affiliation  with  the  District,  State  and  National  Fed- 
eration. 

In  furtherance  of  this  aim  the  November  meeting 
is  to  be  given  over  entirely  to  the  District  President, 
Mrs.  C.  H.  Toll  and  Vice-President,  Mrs.  Lorbeer. 

These  are  some  of  the  club's  plans  for  the  year. 
Beside  the  more  serious  things  there  will  be  the  usual 
club  parties,  dances  and  card  parties  held  at  regular 
intervals  throughous  the  year. 


THE  RECIPROCITY  CLUB 

"WHAT    A    SMALL    CLUB    CAN    DO 
By  Catherine  Pierce  Wheal 
HE  Reciprocity  Club  organized  in  the  year  1909 


JJ      by   Mrs.   Catherine   Pierce   Wheat,    is    now    and 

always  has  been  a  luncheon  club.     The  first  few 

years   we   met   at   Christopher's.      Our   meeting    place 

now    is    the    Broadway    Cafe,    Broadway    Department 

Store. 

Away  back  in  the  years  of  1908  and  1909,  I  was 
Chairman  of  Reciprocity  of  the  California  Congress 
of  Mothers.  So  much  interest  was  aroused  by  the 
reciprocity  programs  given  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Mothers'  Congress,  that  after  consulting  a  few  earn- 
est active  women,  we  decided  to  organize  a  new  club 
and  name  it  "The  Reciprocity  Club."  Its  object  is 
to  study  the  needs  and  problems  of  the  women  and 
children  of  our  city. 

Real  reciprocity  has  been  our  aim.  We  have  had 
speakers  from  many  different  foreign  nations,  and 
have  tried  to  be  real  sisters  to  those  who  cannot  speak 
our  language.  Our  membership  has  never  been  more 
than  one  hundred ;  quite  large  enough  for  a  club 
without  a  real  club  home.  Our  membership  fee,  for 
several  years,  was  only  twenty-five  cents  (it  is  now 
one  dollar),  just  enough  to  meet  the  State,  and  Dis- 
trict dues.  We  meet  the  third  Wednesday  of  each 
month.  As  we  are  a  most  informal  club  visitors  are 
always  welcome.  Our  motto  is:  "What  is  the  loving 
thing  to  do?" 

In  the  old  days,  before  every  club  vied  with  every 
other  club  to  give  the  very  best  "reciprocity  day"  pro- 
gram possible  each  year,  our  little  club  was  most 
popular.     Club   women   from    all   over   the   Southland 


were  our  guests.  They  were  always  introduced,  and 
urged  to  tell  briefly  of  work  being  done  by  their  club. 

Our  funds  have  been  small,  but  we  have  given  our 
"widow's  mite"  to  every  worthy  cause  when  possible. 

Our  hobby  has  been  "old  ladies."  Once  each  year 
they  have  been  our  luncheon  guests  as  well  as  our 
speakers  and  entertainers,  and  because  of  the  words 
of  wisdom,  and  good  cheer,  we  are  better,  wiser,  hap- 
pier women. 

I  wish  I  had  time  and  space  to  give  you  a  list  of 
the  wonderful  "old  ladies"  who  have  addressed  our 
club.  It  is  always  a  "gala  day"  for  them ;  they  come 
in  all  their  beautiful  old  finery.  Some  of  you  who 
have  seen  and  heard  our  "old  ladies"  can  never  for- 
get the  day. 

I  was  suddenly  cut  off  from  all  activities  in  May, 
1913,  by  the  terrible  Long  Beach  disaster,  but  our  lit- 
tle club  kept  forging  ahead.  Mrs.  F.  L.  Scofield,  my 
vice-president  for  several  years,  was  more  than  a 
"better  half."  The  officers  were  loyal,  true,  unselfish. 
Mrs.  Spalding  Cooper  served  one  year  as  president, 
and  did  splendid  work.  Mrs.  J.  B.  Baker,  well  known 
Xj  most  club  women,  is  now  our  president.  No  club 
woman  who  has  been  entertained  in  her  beautiful 
hospitable  home  can  ever  forget  her  or  her  home. 

If  you  are  shopping  in  the  neighborhood  of  the 
Broadway  Departmnt  Store  on  the  third  Wednesday 
of  the  month,  come  into  our  luncheon  room,  introduce 
yourself,  and  be  sure  of  a  warm  welcome  and  a  lov- 
ing hand   shake.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SEEING  THE  BLUE  IN  THE  SKY 

By  Rev.  Thomas  Lutman,  D.D. 


LIFE  means  getting  your  head  bumped   and  some- 
times your   heart  broken.     There   is   a  piece  of 
gravel  in  every  shoe;  a  skeleton  in  every  closet; 
a  shadow  in  every  home.     Trouble  has  a  way  of  call- 
ing without  an   invitation: 

Whar'd   they   come   from? 

Day  by  day  you  kin  see  'em  on  the  way. 

Just  a  trudgin'  up  the  slope 

Drawin'   all  the  bells  o'  hope 

Comin'   in  the  door  to  chide  yer 

Drawin'  up  the  chair  beside  yer. 
Only  God  Who  made  the  heart  knows  how  tired  it 
can  become.  Yet  it  is  because  laughter  isn't  the  whole 
thing  that  it  will  never  be  a  drug  on  the  market; 
will  always  be  par;  and  the  demand  will  always  ex- 
ceed   the   supply. 

The  wisest  man  that  ever  lived  said:  "There  is  a 
time  to  laugh!"  It  is  significant  that  the  first  word 
of  the  Optimist  of  Calvary  was  not  as  commonly 
translated:  Blessed,  but  Happy;  He  had  come  to 
solve  the  world's  problem  and  He  knew  that  that 
problem  was   related   to   Happiness. 

The  disagreeable  and  the  unpleasant  are  in  every 
human  experience.  The  question  is  which  you  prefer. 
But  isn't  it  too  bad  to  look  so  long  at  the  darkness 
that  you  miss  the  stars?  To  look  so  long  at  the  clouds 
that  you  miss  the  sunshine?  To  hug  care  and  trouble 
so  closely  that  they  become  the  monsters  that  shut  out 
the  Angels,  and  all  the  gladness  and  glory  of  a  beau- 
tiful  world? 


This  would  be  a  dreadful  world  if  we  couldn't  be- 
lieve that  always  somewhere  the  sun  is  shining;  some- 
where the  song  birds  dwell;  and  that  even  the  dark 
clouds  above  our  heads  will  break  in  blessing. 

It's  the  bright  side  that  is  the  right  side,  every 
time.  Even  the  rocks  of  life  are  veined  with  purest 
gold ;  become  to  men  who  once  beat  their  helpless 
hands  against  them  the  very  altar  stairs  that  slope 
through  darkness  up  to  God.  The  barren  sands  of 
life  are  rich  with  diamonds.  The  roses  of  life  are 
always  so  much  larger  than  its  thorns.  There  is  no 
night  but  has  its  star;  no  sky  but  has  its  patch  of 
blue.  Why  not  cultivate  seeing  the  blue  in  the  sky? 
The  clouds?  They  are  lies.  It's  the  blue  sky  that 
is   the  truth. 

The  man  who  trusts  the  blue  sky  and  the  birds  and 
God  is  always  right.  And  when  it  is  cloudy  you 
have  the  right  to  watch  for  the  sun  and  to  expect  it  to 
appear.  It's  there.  Always  there;  ready  to  break 
through  the  clouds;  and  any  pessimistic  plaint  to  the 
contrary  is  just  a  reflection  on  your  eyesight,  not  on 
the  sun. 

If  you  have  come  to  a  hard  stretch  remember  that 
the  hard  things  come  TO  PASS.  Some  stay  a  day,  a 
week,  a  year,  but  they  are  not  permanent.  They  are 
just  the  way  stations,  not  the  terminus.  And  beyond 
them  Happiness  always  waits.  Nature  keeps  her 
books  perfectly.  She  enters  every  item.  She  bal- 
ances all  accounts  at  last.  The  pathway  that  opens 
in  darkness  will  come  out  in  light.  Joy  is  knocking 
at  your  door;  waiting  to  hang  up  his  hat,  and  fill  the 
House  of  Life  with  laughter.  Listen  to  the  colored 
Mammy:  Cheer   up.   Honey,  glory  days   is  comin'.

MORE   MILK    FOR 
CHILDREN 

Astounding  percentages  of  under-nourishment  and 
physical  defects  were  found  in  a  group  of  6,015  young 
children  of  Gary,  Indiana,  studied  by  the  United 
States  Department  of  Labor. 

The  Gary  study  is  the  first  investigation  by  the 
Bureau  of  the  "neglected  age  of  childhood" — between 
babyhood  and  school. 

Two  reports  have  been  written  on  the  results  of 
this  study.  The  first,  called  "Physical  Status  of  Pre- 
School  Children,"  was  issued  last  year.  The  second, 
called  "Children  of  Pre-School  Age  in  Gary,  Indiana," 
and  dealing  with  general  child  welfare  conditions, 
especially  nutrition,  is  now  in  press. 

Results  of  the  second  study,  made  public  today, 
show  the  poverty  of  diet  among  nearly  all  the  children. 

The  diets  of  6,015  children,  all  from  two  to  seven 
years,  were  classified  into  five  groups.  A,  B,  C,  D, 
and  E,  according  to  their  adequacy  and  suitability 
for  children  of  these  years. 

Of  the  "A"  diet  the  report  says: 

"The  'A'  diet  is  not  one  difficult  of  attainment.  It 
is  merely  any  diet  capable  of  meeting  the  body's  needs 
and  administered  with  some  consideration  for  the 
child's  age  and  development.  Moreover,  such  a  diet 
need  not  be  an  expensive  one — milk,  whole  cereal,  and 
fruit  or  vegetable  daily  being  sufficient  to  allow  a  diet 
to  qualify  in  this  group — and  it  is  the  easiest  possible 
kind  of  diet  to  prepare.  This  being  the  case  it  might 
be  expected  that  the  large  majority  of  the  children 
would  fall  into  the  'A'  diet  group. 

"These  facts  notwithstanding,  only  25  of  the  6,015 
children — less  than  half  of  1  per  cent  of  the  total

SOUTH  SIDE  EBELL  CLUB 


PLANS  FOR  THE  YEAR 
By  Mrs.  Edwin  Finley 

THE  South  Side  Ebell  Club  held  their  annual  re- 
ception the  last  Thursday  in  September  in  the 
Auditorium  of  the  Vernon  Avenue  Branch 
Library.  The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at  one 
o'clock  instead   of  two,  as  in  former  years. 

Owing  to  the  length  of  the  especially  planned  pro- 
gram, it  was  thought  best  to  begin  early,  so  all  would 
have   time  to  stay  for  the  social   hour  afterwards. 

Mrs.  Toll  was  present  and  gave  the  gathering  one 
of  her  fine  talks,  and  other  artists  of  merit  also  graced 
the  platform  on  this  occasion. 

The  club  is  in  a  prosperous  and  growing  condidtion. 
Ways  and  means  of  raising  money  to  build  the  pro- 
posed club  house  were  discussed  fully  at  the  board 
meeting. 

A  reception  was  held  for  the  board  and  their  guest 
at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Taft  on  West  Fifty-fifth  Street, 
-which  was  a  most  enjoyable  affair,  there  being  about 
■sixty  present. 

Dr.  Marion  Tracy  Whiting,  president  of  the  club, 
has  a  fine  and  big  plan  for  a  "Hope  Chest"  to  be 
carried  out  during  the  year.  The  material  and  work 
all  will  be  donated ;  the  chest  and  contents  are  well 
worthy  of  any  home  which  may  be  fortunate  enough 
to  hold  the  lucky  ticket. 

One  other  club  disposed  of  a  chest  like  this,  in  this 


manner,  and  it  netted  them  something  like  twelve 
hundred  dollars. 

A  beautiful  piece  of  tapestry  six  by  eight  feet, 
woven  on  a  specially  constructed  loom  for  the  Imperial 
family  was  donated  to  the  club  to  be  disposed  of  in 
the  same  manner  to  raise  funds  for  the  new  building. 

One  of  our  highly-prized  members  was  fortunate 
enough  to  become  the  proud  possessor  of  this  piece  of 
art  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair,  and  it  has  graced  her 
Knabe  ever  since  until  this  gift  to  the  club. 

All  the  members  and  their  friends  will  want  to 
take  chances  on  both  of  these  splendid  articles,  and 
in  this  way  help  in  the  raising  of  the  club  fund. 

Under  the  club's  able  drama  curator,  there  has  been 
planned  to  be  given  during  the  coming  year,  several 
fine  plays.  The  West  Ebell,  being  the  owners  of  a 
new  club  house,  have  offered  its  use  to  the  South  Side 
in  which  to  hold  these  plays,  and  also  offered  to  co- 
operate in  other  ways  to  assist  in  this  undertaking 
which  is  being  launched  by  President  ^yhiting,  who  is 
heart  and  soul  in  the  work. 

A  series  of  bridge  and  five  hundred  parties  will  be 
held,  and  the  dancing  parties  which  were  so  well 
enjoyed  by  all  last  year,  these,  too,  will  help  to  swell 
the  fund.  Altogether  the  calendar  for  the  year  is 
very  full. 


Mrs.  C.  M.  Neely. 
President,  California  Badger  Club

The  CLUBWOMAN 


AIMS  AND  ACTIVITIES  OF  THE  WEDNESDAY 

MORNING   CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Aaron  Diehl  Flickinger,  Press  Chairman 


AS  a  fitting  introduction  to  the  Wednesday  Morn- 
ing Club,  it  is  one  of  the  oldest  clubs  in  the 
city  of  Los  Angeles,  with  Mrs.  S.  B.  Welcome 
as  the  president.  She  is  now  filling  her  second  term 
in  the  highest  office  that  is  within  the  power  of  the 
club  to  grant  to  one  of  its  members. 

In  past  years  the  activities  of  the  club  were  out- 
lined by  the  president,  with  the  assistance  of  an  able 
board  of  directors,  which  shows  that  the  organization 
is  not  a  club  for  the  president  alone,  but  also  for  all 
the  members,  as  is  easily  seen  by  the  rapid  growth 
that  this  club  has  had  and  which  it  is  known  can  be 
continued  under  the  able  leadership  of  Mrs.  Welcome, 
who  has  the  good  of  the  club  and  club  women  in  gen- 
eral so  much  at  heart,  which  has  been  amply  proven 
by  her  able  management  during  her  first  term  of 
office  as  president. 

This  club  does  not  only  work  along  a  social  line 
but  an  educational  line  as  well,  as  can  be  seen  by  the 
bulletins  issued  from  time  to  time,  which,  in  addition 
to  the  wonderful  programs  that  are  rendered  by  the 
best  talent  that  can  be  secured,  there  is  also  time 
given  to  the  various  sections  which  are  embodied  in 
the  work  of  the  Wednesday  Morning  Club,  which  are 
seven  in  number,  as  follows:  Parliamentary,  Current 
Events,  Shakespeare,  Music,  English,  Drama  and 
Ramblers. 

The  social  activities  of  the  club  are  held  just  as 
often  during  the  month  as  circumstances  will  allow,  so 
as  to  better  acquaint  both  our  husbands  and  friends 
wiht  the  good  work  and  advantages  to  be  gained  by 
those  who  belong  to  this  club,  and  they  are  not  only 
invited  to  be  with  us  but  are  most  urgently  requested 
to  attend  these  gatherings  so  that  their  minds  may  be 
broadened  along  club  lines. 

The  parliamentary  section  is  aimed  to  give  women 
the  rightful  place  in  the  governing  bodies  which  has 
been  accorded  to  her  by  the  rights  of  equal  suffrage 
and  by  better  acquainting  herself  with  our  parlia- 
mentary section  and  taking  advantage  therof,  she 
may  be  able  to  take  her  proper  place  when  called 
upon  to  do  so. 


The  current  events  section  is  given  over  to  the 
discussion  of  the  various  topics  that  confront  us  in 
our  daily  work  dealing  with  civic  improvements,  both 
local  and  national,  and  all  matters  which  have  been 
brought  to  the  attention  of  club  women  of  the  United 
States  since  they  have  been  accorded  the  rights  of 
equal  suffrage  and  thereby  take  upon  themselves  the 
responsibilities  that  go  with  them. 

The  Shakespeare  section  is  well  known  among  the 
members  of  the  Wednesday  Morning  Club  owing  to 
the  number  of  the  members  who  have  already  become 
graduates  of  this  section,  one  of  whom  is  no  less  a 
personage  than  Mrs.  Welcome.  This  section  special- 
izes in  the  study  of  one  whom  the  world  hails  as  one 
of  its  most  honored  playwrights  of  the  age. 

Members  of  this  section  present  a  play  each  year 
and  give  interpretative  readings  from  time  to  time. 
These  features  of  the  work  are  found  most  helpful 
to  the  class. 

The  development  of  original  thought  is  fostered  by 
careful  reading  and  discussion  leading  to  an  intelli- 
gent conception  of  characters,  philosophy  and  ethical 
value  of  each  play  studied. 

The  music  section  is  a  wonderful  asset  to  the 
Wednesday  Morning  Club,  as  it  has  been  the  start  of 
the  musical  education  on  the  part  of  members  who 
received  their  first  inspiration  through  the  study  in 
the  classes  conducted   by  the  club. 

The  English  and  drama  sections  can  be  taken 
jointly,  as  they  both  have  been  a  very  wonderful  help 
to  those  of  the  members  who  have  taken  part  in  them, 
as  they  have  added  grace  and  expression  to  all  who 
have  studied  in  these  sections  of  the  club  work. 

The  aim  o£  the  club  is  to  furnish  such  instruction 
and  further  develop  each  section  to  such  an  extent 
that  it  will  be  the  aim  of  all  with  whom  we  come  in 
contact  to  take  advantage  of  the  opportunities  offered 
for  the  advancement  of  themselves,  that  it  will  be 
considered  an  honor  as  well  as  a  help  to  account 
themselves  a  member  of  such  an  organization  as  the 
Wednesday  Morning  Club  aims  to  be. 


MORE    MILK   FOR  CHILDREN 

(Continued  from  page  28) 


number — were  thus  fortunate.  Furthermore,  the  num- 
ber classed  as  having  'B'  diets  (probably  adequate  in 
food  requirements  though  unsuitable  in  character  and 
including  but  a  pint  of  milk)  was  likewise  small, 
amounting  to  8.5  per  cent  of  the  whole  group.  Less 
than  10  per  cent  of  the  children  studied,  in  other 
words,  were  receiving  diets  which  appeared  adequate 
to  their  needs.  Almost  three  times  this  number  (29.2 
per  cent)  had  diets  (C)  whose  adequacy  was  highly 
questionable;  and  nearly  two-thirds  of  the  entire 
group  (60.5)  per  cent)  were  found  to  have  diets 
plainly  incapable  of  covering  all  their  bodily  require- 
ments, 58.4  per  cent  being  in  the  D  group  and  2.1 
per  cent  (5  times  the  percentage  of  A's)  in  the  ex- 
tremely inadequate  E  group." 

The  report  analyzes  in  detail  the  use  of  certain 
staple  foods  among  the  children,  for  instance: 

Only  18.9  per  cent  of  all  the  children  were  getting 
a  pint  of  milk  a  day  and  57.2  per  cent  had  no  milk 
at  all  to  drink.  Two-thirds  of  the  entire  group  were 
found  to  drink  coffee  habitually  and  40  per  cent  to 
have  it  more  than  once  a  day. 


"Milk  is  not  the  only  desirable  food  which  was 
little  used,"  the  report  states,  "since  vegetables,  fruits, 
cereals,  and  eggs  were  likewise  conspicuously  lacking. 

"The  extreme  poverty  of  the  diets  is  further  shown 
by  the  fact  that  nearly  half  (45.5  per  cent)  of  them 
lacked  as  many  as  four  of  the  foods  usually  included 
in  a  child's  diet." 

Slightly  over  half  of  the  children  studied  were  given 
physical  examinations;  64.7  per  cent  were  found  to 
have  decayed  teeth ;  14.9  per  cent  had  bone  defects 
which  are  the  result  of  a  deficiency  diet.  Only  4.8 
per  cent  had  no  defects  at  all.  Over  a  third  had 
more  than  five  distinct  physical  defects.  Children 
with  adequate  diets  (classed  as  A  and  B)  made  a 
better  showing  than  the  rest  of  the  group.  Over  four 
times  as  high  a  percentage  of  these  children  were 
free  from  defects  as  of  the  children  receiving  deficient 
diets   (classed  as  D  and  E). 

The  report  also  analyzes  other  conditions  affecting 
children  of  this  age,  including  community  conditions, 
home  and  family  conditions,  housing,  economic  condi- 
tions, child  care  and  hygiene,  and  dental  care.

not  only  in  the  east,  but  even  in  London  and  Paris, 
where  it  is  recognized  as  a  reliable  index  to  the 
society  and  club  life  of  Los  Angeles,  Pasadena  and 
environs. 

Club  affiliations  of  the  various  families  are  given

this  there  is  a  special  section  in  which  are  listed  a 
large  number  of  organizations  with  their  chief  officers, 
places  of  meeting,  telephone  numbers,  etc.  The  Gen- 
eral Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  and  the  National 
Federation  of  Music  Clubs  are  both  well  represented, 
and  there  is  a  listing,  too,  of  the  country  clubs  and 
others  supported  by  men  or  by  men  and  women 
jointly. 

Containing  still  other  valuable  features,  such  as  a 
list  of  Pacific  fleet  officers  and  their  ships,  marriages 
of  the  year,  etc.,  the  1923-24  edition  is  a  convenient 
reference  book  that  should  be  a  delight  to  busy  per- 
sons requiring  the  class  of  information  which  it  pro- 
vides. It  is  bound  in  a  particularly  pleasing  pastel 
blue  with  gold  lettering.

Mrs.  Byrnes'  favorite  recipe  calls  for 
Libby's  Milk  in  both  cake  and  frosting 


MRS.  H.  A.  BYRNES,  as 
hundreds  of  California 
women  know,  speaks  with 
authority  on  many  topics,  but 
her  main  interest,  it  seems, 
concerns  the  home  —  and 
cooking. 

Among  the  desserts  she 
prepares  for  her  own  table  is 
a  Jelly  Cake,  the  recipe  for 
which  is  given  here.  And  she 
uses  Libby's  Milk,  you  notice, 
in  both  the  cake  and  frosting. 
It  gives,  she  says,"added  del- 
icacy, richness  and  economy." 

71/2  teaspoons  of  butter  fat 
in  every  can 

To  start  with,  Libby's  Milk 
is  exceptionally  fine  milk  from 
selected  herds  in  California's 
famous  dairy  section — Hum- 
boldt County.   Then  we 


evaporate  more  than  half  the 
water  from  it,  making  it 
double  rich — so  rich  that  there 
are  I'^A,  teaspoons  of  butter 
fat  in  every  16  ounce  can! 
That's  why  Libby's  Milk 
gives  such  great  richness,  such 
fine  flavor  to  cooking. 

Try  it  tonight 

Sealed  in  air-tight  cans  and 
sterilized,  you  can  get  this 
richer  milk  -pure  wherever 
you  live. 

Order  a  can  from  your 
grocer  today.  Try  it  tonight 
in  this  recipe  or  in  one  of  your 
own  favorites.  You,  too,  will 
want  it  regularly.

THE   HOUSEWIFE  AND    HOME    PRODUCTS 

By  Sylvester  Weaver,  Past  President  Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  President  of  the  Weaver  Roof  Co. 


It  is  old  saying,  and  a  truthful  one,  that  "the 
hand  that  rocks  the  cradle  is  the  hand  that  rules 
the  world." 

This  is  a  beautiful  sentiment,  and  it  recognizes  in 
a  poetic  manner  the  power  of  the  so-called  weaker 
sex  to  govern  in  a  benign  and   lovable  manner. 

While  women  may  be  the  weaker  sex  physically,  it 
is  undeniable  that  they  are  stronger  in  heart,  as  a 
rule,  than  the  so-called  stronger  sex;  and  this  is 
an  attribute  that  will  cause  women  to  endure  more 
suffering  without  a  murmur  than  the  average  man 
could   over    sustain. 

Now,  without  desiring  to  be  accused  of  bringing 
about  an  anti-climax  in  a  discussion — or  an  admission, 
rather — of  the  beautiful  characteristics  of  women- 
kind,  I  would  like  the  privilege,  for  the  purpose  of 
opening  a  discussion  of  a  subject  most  vital  to  our 
splendid  city,  to  revamp  the  adage  concerning  the 
hand  and  the  cradle  and  make  it  read,  "The  hand 
that  rules  the  pocketbook  is  the  hand  that  rules  the 
trade." 

While  this  may  rob  the  adage  of  its  poetic  senti- 
ment, it  reveals  a  fact  that  cannot  be  disputed  and 
one  that  should  be  accepted  as  a  truism  that,  in  a 
commercial  sense,  is  as  gratifying  as  the  thought 
conveyed   in  the  greater  theme. 

The  idea  intended  to  be  expressed  is  that  the  house- 
wife, as  the  chief  purchaser  of  the  household — as 
she  should  be — possesses  the  economic  power  to  change 
the  trend  of  any  market  that  has  to  do  with  house- 
hold ecenomics,  and  especially  in  reference  to  the 
furnishings,  the  culinary  necessities  and  articles  of 
wearing    apparel. 

Serious  consideration  should  be  given  this  thought 
by  the  housewives  of  Los  Angeles  at  this  particular 
time  because  of  the  fact  that  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, the  great  civic  body  which  already  has  done 
so  much  to  promote  the  progress  and  prosperity  of 
Los  Angeles,  is  now  engaged  in  a  campaign,  the  suc- 
cess of  which  means  still  greater  progress  and  pros- 
perity through  the  acquisition  of  additional  indus- 
trial- establishments. 

In  this  work  the  women  of  Los  Angeles  can  be  of 
the  greatest  asssitance.  How  this  can  be  done  can 
be  summed  up  in  three  words — patronize  home  indus- 
tries. This  is  not  a  newly  discovered  key,  for  it  has 
been  struck  on  numerous  occasions  and  in  many  cities 
and  towns  throughout  the  country  which  have  aspired 
to  industrial  greatness.  As  a  rule,  however,  the  key- 
note is  sounded  once,  and  it  is  quite  natural  that 
the  effect  of  a  single  stroke,  regardless  of  the  vigor 
applied  and  the  amount  of  favorable  sentiment  pro- 
duced, sooner  or  later  should  dwindle  in  proportion 
to   the   decrease   in  the  volume   of  the   waning   sound. 

Reiteration  in  this  connection  is  most  essential. 
The  note — patronize  home  industries — should  be  struck 
repeatedly,  but  in  a  rhythmic  manner  and  yet  with  a 
force  sufficient  to  rouse  the  latent  spirits  of  some  citi- 
zens and  not  jar  the  nerves  of  those  who  are  always 
ready,  when  called  upon,  to  respond  in  a  whole- 
hearted way  to  every  call  to  civic  duty. 

Fortunately  for  Los  Angeles,  this  city  has  a  citizen- 
ship that  believes  in  co-operation,  and  to  this  pro- 
nounced characteristic  is  attributed  the  great  progj-ess 


Los  Angeles  has  made  and  now  is  making  and  to  an 
extent  that  it  is  generally  referred  to  as  "the  wonder 
city  of  the  world." 

The  women  of  Los  Angeles  are  not  asked  to  buy 
more,  but  rather  it  is  urged  that  they  discriminate  in 
their  purchases  and  give  a  preference  to  goods  manu- 
factured in  California.  This  discrimination  in  favor 
of  California-made  goods  is  expected  only  in  those 
instances  where  all  conditions  are  equal;  but  it  is 
safe  to  say  that  these  conditions  will  be  found  to 
be  more  nearh'  equal  in  a  far  greater  number  of 
instances  than  is  generally  believed  to  be  the  case. 

One  of  the  principal  reasons  is  that  the  California- 
made  products  are  not  shipped  from  some  distant 
part  of  the  country  and  at  a  high  cost  for  transpor- 
tation. In  the  case  of  personal  wear,  the  goods 
are  made  in  well-lighted,  well-ventilated  and  alto- 
gether sanitary  factories  and  by  happy,  well-paid 
and  contented  workers,  many  of  whom  own  their  own 
homes,  surrounded  by  grass  plots  and  flower  gardens. 

It  is  true  that  the  financial  burden  of  the  great 
industrial  drive  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  must 
be  borne  for  the  most  part  by  the  membership  of  that 
great  civic  organization  of  more  than  ten  thousand 
co-operators,  but  the  general  citizenship,  and  espe- 
cially the  fair  sex,  can  aid  to  a  material  extent  in  the 
manner   indicated. 

The  suggestion  is  made  that  persistent  inquiries 
be  made  as  to  whether  certain  kinds  or  grades  of 
goods  are  manufactured  in  Los  Angeles,  while  insis- 
tent demands  should  be  voiced  that  products  known 
to  be  manufactured  in  Los  Angeles  be  displayed  in 
store  windows  and  shown  to  prospective  customers 
and  thus  create  a  demand  among  retail  merchants 
for  all  kinds  of  goods  manufactured  here. 

Such  a  campaign  would  aid  small  and  struggling 
manufacturing  concerns  to  grow  and  cause  the  larger 
ones  to  expand,  while  a  record  for  patronizing  home 
industries  would  be  an  inducement  for  still  other 
manufacturing  establishments  to  move  their  plants 
to  Los  Angeles  or  construct  branch  establishments 
here. 

It  should  be  remembered  by  the  buying  public  of 
Los  Angeles  that  the  industrial  campaign  started  by 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  will  be  continued  and  con- 
tinuous over  an  extended  period,  and  that  any  increase 
in  the  home  demand  for  products  of  Los  Angeles  fac- 
tories will  have  a  distinct  bearing  upon  the  surveys 
and  reports  that  will  be  made  by  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  in  its  work  of  interesting  Eastern  manu- 
facturers in  Los  Angeles. 

Housewives  of  Los  Angeles  should  remember  that 
Los  Angeles  now  has  about  4600  manufacturing  plants, 
and  it  is  reasonable  to  expect  that  practically  every- 
thing that  enters  into  what  is  termed  household 
economics  is  made  here. 

We  all  want  to  see  Los  Angeles  continue  to  grow 
in  size  as  well  as  in  beauty  and  in  prosperity,  but 
this  can  be  absolutely  assured  only  by  having  what 
has  been  termed  a  balanced  prosperity — meaning 
a  certain  amount  of  manufacturing  to  a  percentage  of 
population. 

Repeating  what  was  declared  at  the  outset — "Pat- 
ronize  home   industries."

THE   GREAT   COMMANDMENT: 
'THOU  SHALT  LOVE  THY  NEIGHBOR  AS  THYSELF' 


Reformation  must  come  with  inward  conviction, 
not  from  outward  pressure.  The  laws  that  were 
handed  down  from  Sinai  amidst  the  thunders  of  Je- 
hovah are  still  sufficient  for  the  government  of  man- 
kind, and  kindly  teachings  of  the  Carpenter  of  Naz- 
areth are  still  sufficient  for  the  healing  of  the  nations 
if  they  but  hear  and  heed.  Mere  force  has  never 
yet  permanently  solved  a  world-wide  problem,  and 
men  are  not  made  perfect  by  legal  enactment.  Not 
until  the  mind  and  heart  are  turned  toward  right- 
eousness is  man  regenerated ;  and  this  is  to  be  ac- 
complished only  by  the  lifting  up  of  him  who  said, 
"And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  will  draw 
all  men  unto  me."  The  Lord  was  not  in  the  great 
fire  that  appeared.  He  was  not  in  the  tempest  that 
swept  over  the  land.  He  was  in  the  still,  small 
voice.  And  it  is  that  still,  small  voice  that  shall 
lead  the  nations  to  the  new  day,  and  not  the  fu!- 
minations  of  statesmen  nor  the  flash  of  warring 
swords. — Omaha  Bee. 

*     *     * 

General  Pershing,  talking  at  the  opening  session  of 
a  conference  between  churchmen  and  the  War  Depart- 
ment, declared  that  all  military  training  has  in  it  cer- 
tain elements  of  moral  instruction.  "Religion,"  Gen- 
eral Pershing  said,  "contains  the  secret  of  and  the 
impetus  toward  clean  living.  Therefore,  a  steady 
effort  is  being  made  to  put  the  hearts  of  men  in  right 
relation  to  God."  In  preparing  an  intensified  moral 
and  religious  program  for  the  army,  according  to 
General  Pershing,  "the  whole  purpose  shall  be  to 
keep  soldiers  true  and  strong  and  steady."  Virtually 
the  same  thought  was  voiced  by  Secretary  of  War 
Weeks,  who  said:  "Nothing  will  hold  mankind  bet- 
ter together  or  be  of  as  much  benefit  to  men  of  all 
nations  as  religion."  Both  Secretary  of  War  Weeks 
and  General  Pershing,  of  course,  were  speaking  of 
religion  in  the  broadest  sense.  Thinking  people 
of  the  world  are  somewhat  fearful  about  ultimate 
results  of  the  Great  War.  They  fear  the  civilization 
of  the  world  is  threatened,  and  hold  that  the  best 
safeguard  is  moral  and  religious  training. — San  Fran- 
cisco  Chronicle.  ai     .^     ,, 

Certainly  ninety-five  per  cent  of  our  social  evils, 
and  I  hesitate  to  say  how  many  of  our  political 
troubles,  would  immediately  disappear  if  people  really 
believed  the  religion  they  profess.  The  relations  be- 
tween capital  and  labor,  the  struggles  between  na- 
tions, and  the  conflict  between  individuals,  depend 
upon  whether  or  not  the  parties  involved  have  the 
right  spiritual  insight.  Physicians  are  also  agreed  that 
a  very  large  percentage  of  our  bodily  ailments  would 
be  avoided,  if  we  were  at  peace  spiritually.  This  is 
what  we  mean  when  we  say  that  lack  of  religion  is 
responsible  for  most  of  the  world's  troubles  .  .  .  The 
majority  of  people  have  come  to  look  upon  their 
religious  activity  as  an  abstract  duty  rather  than  a 
source   of  practical   power — Ottawa  Citizen. 

We  shall  have  peace  on  earth  just  so  soon  as 
enough  of  us  really  want  peace;  just  so  soon  as  there 
is   more   universal   good-will. — Pictorial  Review. 

■X-       ■:(!       * 

We  are  quickened  strangely  by  some  new  disclosure 
of  truth;  or  we  are  inspired  by  the  story  of  a  man 
who  has  devoted  himself,  through  hardship  and  suf- 
fering, to  the  pursuit  of  truth.  Within  us  there  is 
something  which  recognizes  that  loyalty  to  truth  is 
life  in  its  highest  terms.  And  truth,  however  we 
debate  about  it,  involves  a  sense  of  life  in  its  whole- 


ness; it  is  universal;  its  pursuit  means  an  effort 
to  escape  from  the  particularisms,  the  purely  self- 
interests,  the  narrowing  limitations  of  the  incomplete, 
and  to  see  life  as  it  might  be  visaged  .  .  .  And  no 
man  who  has  attempted  this,  or  has  been  thrilled  by 
the  attempt  of  others,  has  failed  to  be  moved  by 
the  conviction  that  the  nearer  truth  is  approached 
the  nearer  we  come  to  reality.  In  that  approach  we 
gain  an  increasing  sense  of  harmony  .  .  .  There  is  an- 
other demand  upon  us  which  draws  us  to  ihe  same 
great  end — the  demand  of  duty,  of  right.  This,  too, 
involves  escape  from  self  to  the  plane  of  the  univer- 
sal. Duty,  right,  love,  glow  with  purest  ray;  we  are 
surest  of  them  when  the  element  of  self-interest  is 
wholly  lacking  as  motive.  We  call  that  man  a  hero 
who  puts  self  aside  to  serve  others.  The  Greeks 
deified  their  heroes.  May  we  not  say  that  they  recog- 
nized the  unity  of  the  heroic  life  with  the  all-embrac- 
ing will  to  good?  These  things  are  the  realities.  In 
capacity  for  these  things  lies  man's  greatness. — Louis- 
ville Herald.  ^^     ^     ^ 

If  we  could  put  away  the  petty  jealousies  that  mar 
and  dwarf  the  intellect  and  all  better  tendencies  .  .  . 
we  would  have  made  the  greatest  stride  possible  to- 
ward a  real  civilization;  and  the  religion  we  preach 
would  become  a  thing  of  beauty  and  a  joy  forever. 
If  we  could  inject  just  a  little  more  of  the  Golden 
Rule  into  business!  if  we  would  grant  the  idea  of  live 
and  let  live;  if  we  could  look  into  the  mirror  of  our 
own  individual  lives  and  remove  the  beam  from  our 
own  eye,  the  mote  in  the  other  fellow's  eye  would 
fade  away  completely.  If  we  would  practice  what  we 
preach,  correct  the  very  faults  in  ourselves  that  we 
condemn  in  the  other  fellow,  nine-tenths  of  the  prob- 
lem would  have  been  solved,  and  we  would  all  be 
traveling  so  nearly  in  the  foot-steps  of  Jesus  Christ 
that  the  churches  would  be  forced  to  hold  out-of-door 
meetings    to     accommodate     their     audiences — Rupert

The  world  today  sees  tumbled  in  the  dust  of  ruin 
that  idol  of  its  worship,  materialism;  and  it  is  coming 
to  realize  that  if  it  is  to  reconstruct  a  ruined  system, 
it  must  find  the  basis  upon  the  rock  of  Christ — 
eternal  Truth.  The  call  of  the  Spirit  is  to  rise  to 
that  level  of  consciousness — the  Mind  of  Christ — at 
which  life  is  seen  with  the  eyes  of  spiritual  under- 
standing; and  by  the  knowledge  or  the  truth  man 
can   be   set  free. — Ottawa  Citizen.

The  basis  of  racial  troubles  is  prejudice,  which  finds 
its  root  in  the  human  practice  of  thinking  ill  rather 
than  good  of  a  neighbor  .  .  .  Doctor  Rittenhouse  said 
that  in  order  to  preserve  neighborly  peace,  each  per- 
son should  "believe  the  best,  give  the  best,  speak 
the  best,  and  expect  the  best." — Evansville  Courier.

Neighbors  dwelling  together,  understanding  one  an- 
other's lives,  helping  in  hardship,  rejoicing  in  glad- 
ness, bowing  the  neck  to  no  man's  power  or  wealth 
ar  pride — of  such  is  democracy.  If  democracy  is  not 
alive  among  us,  popular  government  must  have  some- 
thing that  looks  like  it  in  order  to  carry  on  the  forms 
devised  in  its  name.  Crowded  cities,  modern  inven- 
tions, and  the  hurry  of  living  all  throw  our  faith  to- 
ward the  blind  machine  instead  of  toward  the  seeing 
man.  And  all  the  while  the  true  base  and  inner  heart 
of  democracy  is  Christ's  ancient  commandment;  "That 
ye  love  one  another.''  It  is  a  hard  saying,  but  one 
that  we  must  and  shall  learn. — Collier,  New  York.

TransfoTmation 

Will  Save 

Your  Hair 


If  your  hair  has  been  damaged  by  dyeing  or 
unwise  waving,  or  bobbed,  there  is  no  better 
way  to  help  it  recover  than  to  let  it  rest  for  a 
few  months  under  a  becoming  transformation. 
As  made  by  M.  Fredrickson  Hair  Co.,  a  trans- 
formation is  so  natural  in  effect  that  no  one 
will  know  that  it  is  not  your  own  hair  grown 
beautiful   again. 

Frederickson  Transformations  are  created  of 
the  finest,  naturally  wavy  hair,  arranged  on 
airily  light  foundations  of  net.  They  are  to 
be  had  in  many  styles  to  suit  your  particular 
need. 

Consult   Fredrickson's    about  yours.

FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

PUBLIC  AFFAIRS   COMMITTEE 

In  place  of  a  November  Program,  the  Public  Affairs  Committee  takes  pleasure  in  co-operating  with 
the  California  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  and  other  women's  organizations  in  a  two  days'  Institute 
devoted   to   the   discussion   of   International   questions    and   the   substitution   of  Law  for  War.

"All  the  things  that  we  clubwomen  work  for — citi- 
zenship, education,  public  health,  good  institutions, 
conservation,  home  life,  child  welfare,  art,  music, 
literature- — are  arts  and  activities  of  peace.  War 
sweeps  them  into  the  dust  heap  .  .  .  Can  we  play 
only  with  the  small  things — the  minor  things — when 
the  world  is  making  its  choice?  Which  shall  it  be, 
war  or  peace — sanity  or  insanity — life  or  death? — 
Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Winter,  President  of  General  Fed- 
eration of  Women's   Clubs. 

$-     ^     * 

These  words  of  Mrs.  Winter's  need  no  comment; 
so  important  c^oes  she  consider  the  International  Re- 
lations Department  of  the  Federation,  that  she  is  her- 
self the  chairman. 

How  happy  the  world  was  five  years  ago  on  Arm- 
istice Day  when  we  thought  that  the  world  had  been 
made  safe  for  democracy.  Now  Lloyd  George  tells 
us  that  a  wave  of  autocracy  is  sweeping  over  the 
world.  We  were  deluded  into  the  belief  that  the 
war  had  been  successfully  fought  to  end  war.  Five 
disillusioning  years  have  shown  us  that  war  breeds 
war — that  everywhere  nations  are  suspicious,  and 
jealous  of  each  other,  and  that  preparations  for  the 
next    war    are    actively    being    made. 

Do  we  want  to  end  war  or  just  talk  about  peace? 
We  know  that  action  establishing  world  peace  must 
be  government  action,  but  we  know  that  government 
action  responds  to  public  opinion — millions  of  let- 
ters, resolutions  and  petitions  were  sent  to  Wash- 
ington asking  for  the  conference  to  limit  naval  arma- 
ment. 

It  is  in  our  city  and  responsibility  as  leaders  of 
women  to  educate  ourselves  and  to  form  a  powerful 
public  opinion  which  will  demand  that  our  govern- 
ment shall  respond  to  the  wish  of  its  citizens  for 
civilized  methods  of  settling  disputes  among  nations. 
«     *     * 

With  the  hope  of  stimulating  greater  interest  in 
international  questions,  the  California  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  The  League  of  Women  Voters,  the 
Y.  W.  C.  A.,  University  Women,  W.  C.  T.  U.,  and 
other  women's  organizations  in  co-operation  are  ar- 
ranging an  Institute  of  International  Relations  at  the 
time  and  place  given  at  the  top  of  the  page. 

The  holding  of  the  Institute  is  possible  through  the 
generous  support  of  the  University  of  California, 
Southern  Branch,  University  of  Southern  California, 
Pomona  and  Occidental  Colleges,  and  the  California 
Institute  of  Technology,  which  institutions  are  fur- 
nishing  the    majority   of    the    speakers.     There    is  ,no 


purpose  to  put  anything  over,  the  program  is  in  every 
respect  non-partisan — the  sole  object  of  the  Institute 
is  education  in  the  most  crucial  question  before  the 
world  today.  What  is  to  be  the  relation  of  the  United 
States  to  the  other  Nations?  Every  lecture  will  be 
followed  by  questions   and   discussion. 

The  program  as  given  here  may  be  modified  in 
some  details,  speakers  may  be  changed  and  time  of 
certain  subjects,  but  the  main  features  of  it  are  as 
follows: 

Monday  morning,  November  12,  at  10  o'clock,  an 
introductory  lecture,  The  United  States  and  Its  For- 
eign Relations,  C.  A.  Dykstra ;  at  11  o'clock,  The 
Permanent  Court  of  International  Justice,  J.  E.  Harley. 

Monday  afternoon  at  2  o'clock.  The  League  of  Na- 
tions, Captain  Paul  Perigord  ;  at  3  o'clock,  The  Mon- 
roe Doctrine  and  International  Relations,  speaker  to 
be   announced   later. 

Tuesday  morning,  November  13,  at  10  o'clock,  In- 
ternational Debts  and  Reparations,  speaker  not  yet 
settled;  at  11  o'clock,  the  Reverend  Doremus  Scudder 
will  talk  about  Russia.  Mr.  Scudder  was  a  Major 
under  the  Red  Cross  doing  relief  work  in  Siberia  and 
in    European    Russia. 

A  luncheon  will  be  served  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  at 
12:30  Tuesday,  when  there  will  be  a  symposium  of 
foreign  women.  Reservations  for  the  luncheon  can 
be  made  on  Monday  at  the  church. 

Tuesday  afternoon  at  2  o'clock.  Problems  Concern- 
ing the  Pacific  will  be  discussed  ;  at  3  o'clock,  Mrs. 
John  C.  Urquhart  will  talk  on  The  Outlawry  of  War; 
at  8  o'clock  Tuesday  evening,  the  principal  speaker 
will  be  Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Winter,  who  will  have  an 
inspiring  message  on  International  Relations.  We 
hope  Dr.  James  A.  Francis  will  also  speak  at  that 
time. 

Occidental    College    is    sending    Professors    Hardy, 
Day  and  Bird,  and  Dean  Irene  Myers  to  take  part  in 
the    discussion    of   various    subjects.

The  CLUBfVOMAN 


PUBLIC  AFFAIRS  COMMITTEE 

OF  THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB  HEARS  SPEAKER  OF  NOTE 


Speaking  with  dynamic  force,  Capt.  Paul  Perigord, 
French  officer,  who  fought  at  Verdun  and  on  the 
Somme,  and  who  has  become  an  American  citizen,  on 
the  faculty  of  the  California  Institute  of  Technology, 
stirred  the  largest  meeting  that  the  public  affairs  com- 
mittee of  the  Friday  Morning  club  has  ever  held. 

On  a  program  that  Considered  international  af- 
fairs.  Captain   Perigord   was   an   electrifying   speaker. 

"I  came  back  to  America,  which  is  now  my  coun- 
try, because  here  is  a  people  looking  forward,  a 
people  with  enthusiasm  and  energy,  a  people  of  ideals, 
inherited  and  developed,"  declared  the  captain. 

"Here  is  a  land — and  especially  is  this  true  of  Cali- 
fornia— where  there  can  be  developed  a  civilization 
that  the  ancient  glory  of  Athens  would  not  excel. 

"I  bring  you  a  message  from  the  dead  and  not 
from  the  living,"  he  said  dramatically.  "Before  I 
left  I  heard  our  politicians  talk  of  isolation.  While  I 
was  in  France  I  heard  what  they  said  there  in  bitter- 
ness of  the  Anglo-Franco  conflict  of  today.  In  Britain 
I  heard  still  other  opinions,  I  heard  of  the  failure 
of  the  German  nation  to  make  proper  reparation. 
But  I  felt  that  all  this  was  not  the  true  message  to 
bring  back  to  America.  So  I  went  out  where  the 
Battle  of  the  Somme  was  fought. 

"There  I  had  fought  and  been  wounded  fighting 
with  the  British  army.  There  many  of  my  comrades 
had  fallen  for  the  last  time  and  so  I  went  out  to  the 
cemetery  to  hear  if  possible  what  the  dead  would  say 
of  today's  turmoil  and  trouble.  I  went  to  Verdun 
and  I  went  to  the  Argonne  Forest,  where  a  brother- 
in-law,  an  American  soldier,  lies  buried,  one  of  20,000 
.Americans  to  fall.  And  I  tell  you  the  voice  of  the 
.■\merican  dead  is  not  the  voice  of  the  living.  The 
message  of  the  dead  is  an  appeal  to  international 
co-operation." 

Capt.  Perigord  reminded  his  audience  that  no  one 
man  had  been  able  to  solve  the  problems.  Even  so 
great  a  man  as  Lloyd  George  had  failed  to  gather 
a  force  of  men  to  uphold  him,  the  two  Presidents  of 
the  United  States  had  failed  in  part,  the  brilliant 
leaders  of  Frace  were  unequal  to  the  task.  The  minds 
of  the  men  of  the  world  must  get  together  in  this,  he 
said. 

"It  is  not  enough  that  we  strike  the  weapons  of 
war  from  the  hands  of  men.  We  must  strike  the 
worst  weapon  of  war,  hatred  of  each  other  and  love 
of  brute  force,  from  the  hearts  of  men." 

Must  Change  Front 

The  speaker  reviewed  the  attitude  of  the  various 
nations  which  he  visited  during  the  summer  just 
past.  Of  Germany  he  said  with  no  bitterness  that 
before  advance  could  be  made  there,  they  must  be 
willing  to  see  that  they  were  wrong.  He  said  he 
was  astonished  to  find  that  today  the  average  German 
holds  to  the  stubborn  belief  that  it  was  a  trick  of 
fate   that  made   him   lose. 

He  told  how  as  a  representative  of  the  United 
States  in  Vienna  taking  the  place  of  Dr.  Robert  A. 
Millikan  of  Pasadena,  he  was  asked  to  contribute  a 
scholarship  fund  for  some  German  students.  With 
his  gift  he  sent  a  letter  asking  that  the  students  who 
were   benefited   be   required  to   study  internationaliyn. 


He  received  a  reply  from  many  German  professors, 
each  one  showing  that  he  thought  Germany  was  in 
the  right  in  the  war. 

Trying  to  view  Europe  as  an  American,  Capt.  Peri- 
gord said  he  found  that  Socialism,  so  fine  in  many  of 
its  theories,  had  already  proved  a  failure  in  practical 
application  in  five  of  the  European  countries.  An- 
other dangerous  tendency  he  noted  was  the  reaction 
against  democracy  and  a  sentiment  for  dictatorship. 
Dictators  are  not  supermen.  They  are  only  human. 
They  begin  by  serving  their  ideals;  they  end  by  serv- 
ing themselves. 

The  trouble  between  France  and  Great  Britain  he 
found  to  be  the  failure  of  either  one  to  grasp  the 
viewpoint  of  the  other.  Great  Britain,  he  said,  was 
hypnotized  with  the  idea  of  promoting  trade  and 
France  was  equally  hypnotized  with  its  own  danger 
from  aggression  of  Germany.  These  two  states 
of  mind  are  not  compatible,  he  said.  Germans,  he 
said,  had  deliberately  ruined  their  own  country  in 
what  they  called  a  practical  policy  of  evasion  to  pay 
their  bills.  "Their  only  way  to  salvation  is  an  honest 
admission  that  they  were  wrong." 

Well  Off  in  America] 

These  were  the  ideas  of  the  leaders,  he  said.  But 
the  people  have  a  better  mind.  In  both  France  and 
England  he  attended  meetings  of  protest  against  the 
fostering  of  enmity  between  the  countries. 

"You  are  better  than  you  think  you  are  here  in 
America.  I  do  not  believe  that  the  heart  and  mind 
of  the  people  are  with  the  politicians  in  this  idea  of 
American  isolation  and  selfish  self-interest.  The 
course  we  have  taken  has  given  comfort  to  the  skep- 
tical and  to  the  cynical.  But  even  now  there  is  a 
better  way.  We  may  reach  out  in  true  altruism  to 
help    Europe. 

"If  we  do  not,  if  we  fail  now,  I  do  not  hesitate  to 
say  that  inevitably  this  country  will  enter  upon  an  era 
of  semi-barbarism,  an  era  when  the  revival  of  brute 
force  as  against  spiritual  force  will  amaze  and  hor- 
rify  people. 

"But  if  on  the  other  hand  we  in  the  United  States 
in  this  coming  year  show  our  intention  of  co-operat- 
ing with  Europe  and  all  the  world,  our  children,  our 
children's  children  will  look  back  upon  this  period  as 
the  one  to  give  them  greatest  pride  in  their  country, 
a  period  to  make  them  feel  that  the  flag  may  be  put 
almost  as  high  as  the  cross  as  a  symbol  of  unselfish 
sacrifice  to  bring  about  the  salvation  of  all.  The 
world  is  a  unit.  We  must  act  as  a  unit  in  so  far  as  is 
humanly    and    physically    possible." 

Captain  Perigord's  speech  was  the  feature  of  per- 
haps the  most  brilliant  occasion  that  the  public  affairs 
committee  has  ever  written  into  its  annals.  Brilliant 
not  alone  because  of  the  scene  it  presented  of  at  least 
1000  women  in  the  Biltmore's  luxurious  background, 
but  because  it  recorded  the  efforts  of  women  to  further 
covic   development. 

Mrs.  Arthur  C.  Wier  presided  and  at  her  table 
were  9  of  the  11  sub-chairmen,  including  Mmes.  H.  C. 
Falang,  Emma  L.  Reed,  Randall  Hutchinson,  J.  J. 
Abramson,  Martin  Carter,  Russell  Judson  Waters 
and  the  Misses  Alice  Alden  and  Theresa  Levy.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 


ITS  DEPARTMENTAL  WORK 
By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  Chairman 


In  a  foreword  written  for  the  Year  Book  of  the 
Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood,  Miss  Jessica  M.  Law- 
rence,  a   past  president,   said: 

"...  But,  after  all,  it  is  in  the  Department  and 
Study  sections  that  we  have  found  the  very  heart 
and  soul  of  our  club  life  .  .  .  As  'straws  show  which 
way  the  wind  blows,'  so  does  the  addition  of  depart- 
ments like  Education,  Legislation  and  Films  testify 
to  the  widening  interests  of  womankind  and  to  her 
desire  for  serious  study.  Because  our  club  is  built 
on  strong  departmental  work,  it  has,  indeed,  a  firm 
foundation,  and  no  phase  of  our  development  has  been 
more   gratifying   than  this." 

And  now  the  "foundation"  has  been  strengthened 
further.  At  the  opening  of  the  club  season,  a  few 
weeks  ago,  the  president,  Mrs.  John  F.  Mead,  an- 
nounced the  addition  of  a  new  department — that  of 
Home  Economics.  Her  announcement  placed  the 
club's  eighteenth  department  in  operation  under  the 
leadership   of   Mrs.   Lowell   C.   Frost. 

The  Department  of  Home  Economics  has  been 
planned  to  embrace  the  study  of  every  phase  of  the 
administration  of  the  home.  Its  popularity  was  mani- 
fest even  before  the  first  meeting,  and  accordingly 
two  meetings  a  week  have  been  arranged,  one  for 
demonstrations   and   one  for  child   study. 

The  purchase  of  foods  and  their  preparation  for  the 
table;  the  selection  and  care  of  rugs  and  household 
linens  and  china ;  homemaking,  and  finally,  the  fin- 
ancial side  of  housekeeping — the  making  of  invest- 
ments— are  some  of  the  subjects  to  be  studied.  In  ad- 
dition, there  is  the  matter  of  child  training,  in  con- 
nection with  which  there  is  being  formed  a  study 
class  for  young  mothers. 

But  the  quick  rise  to  popularity  of  a  new  depart- 
ment has  in  no  way  interferred  with  the  growing 
strength  of  the  club's  other  branches  of  study.  The 
attendance  at  the  bi-weekly  luncheons,  the  programs 
for  which  are  provided  by  the  various  department 
chairmen,  has  been  greater  than  ever  in  the  club's 
history. 

On  October  10,  when  August  Vollmer,  Chief  of 
Police  of  Los  Angeles,  delivered  an  address  for  the 
Public  Affairs  Department,  there  were  nearly  four 
hundred  in  the  big  dining  room.  A  week  later,  at  the 
Art  Department  luncheon,  almost  as  many  listened 
to  addresses  by  Alma  May  Cook  and  Herman  Sachs. 
It  would  be  possible  to  enumerate  many  other  proofs 
of  the  success  of  departmental  study.  Like  Holly- 
wood land  prices,  it  becomes  stronger  from  day  to 
day. 

A  glance  ahead  into  the  tentative  plans  of  the  de- 
partment chairmen  will  show  how  comprehensive 
a  field   of  study  they  cover. 

Mrs.  Gavin  Witherspoon,  of  the  Art  Department, 
has  announced  that  her  luncheon  programs  provide 
for  talks  on  art  from  the  beginning  of  knowledge  of 
art  down  to  the  present,  as  well  as  for  addresses 
to  be  given  by  the  foremost  artists.  Modern  drama 
will  be  studied  under  the  auspices  of  the  Drama  De- 
partment, Mrs.  Ingle  Carpenter,  chairman.  Well 
known   dramatists    will    discuss    this    subject. 

Folk  songs  and  influence  of  folk  songs  on  other 
forms  of  music — a  topic  of  the  widest  interest — will 
be  taken  up  by  the  Music  Department,  the  chairman 
of  whic  his  Mrs.  Eunice  Landrum  Brigham.  At 
Christmas  there  will  be  a  program  of  Yuletide  songs 


to  be  offered  by  the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Music 
Society. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Lawrence,  the  Bible 
Department  has  introduced  the  general  topic  "Christ 
in  Our  Daily  Lives,"  and  men  prominent  in  the 
clergy  and  well  versed  in  Biblical  literature  have  been 
called  on  to  address  the  members. 

Another  interesting  branch  of  study  has  been  un- 
dertaken by  the  Browning  section,  Mrs.  L.  M.  Curtis, 
chairman.  Browning's  poems  are  being  used  for  a 
study  of  the  national  life  of  the  various  countries 
of  Europe.  In  October,  the  life  of  Spain  was  re- 
viewed, and  in  the  two  meetings  this  month,  the  life 
of  Italy  is  to  come  under  discussion.  The  work  of 
the  section  will  continue  through  the  year,  covering 
those  poems  of  Browning  which  portray  the  life  of 
England,    France,   Germany,    Greece    and   Russia. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  Literary  Section,  Mrs. 
Willsie  Martin,  chairman,  will  provide  a  series  of 
interesting  study  meetings.  The  tendencies  of  modern 
fiction,  reviews  of  the  newest  books,  and  women's  work 
in  the  field  of  fiction  writing,  are  among  the  sched- 
uled topics.  The  English  Section  which  is  in  charge 
of  Mrs.  Harry  Maxwell  Lukens,  will  combine  study 
of  the  English  language  with  study  of  the  short  story, 
its  purpose  being  readier  self-expression  through  con- 
fidence in  correct  usage  of  English,  and  great  clear- 
ness  of   thought. 

Mrs.  George  L.  Eastman,  as  chairman  of  the  Public 
Affairs  Department,  has  arranged  for  addresses  on 
public  affairs  by  representative  men.  At  the  next 
luncheon  of  this  department  Rex  B.  Goodcell,  Collec- 
tor of  Internal  Revenue  at  Los  Angeles,  will  speak. 
The  Child  Welfare  Department,  Mrs.  Charles  Won- 
dries,  chairman,  working  in  cooperation  with  the 
Mothers'  Educational  Centre,  has  arranged  courses 
of  instruction  for  mothers,  covering  the  care  of  chil- 
dren from  infancy  to  six  years. 

Miss  Bertha  Green,  vice-principal  of  the  Holly- 
wood High  School  and  chairman  of  the  Education 
Section,  will  aim  in  her  work  to  keep  the  members 
in  touch  through  the  year  with  developments  in  the 
educational  field   in  Hollywood. 

The  Film  Department  will  continue  along  the  lines 
it  followed  last  season.  Mrs.  A.  E.  Huntington  is  in 
charge. 

The  club  will  be  kept  informed  on  matters  coming 
before  Congress  and  the  State  Legislature,  as  well  as 
developments  of  international  importance,  through  the 
Legislation  Department,  Mrs.  H.  G.  Redwine,  chair- 
man. This  department  also  will  act  as  an  advisory 
committee  to  the  club  in   its   legal   affairs. 

Every  year  the  club  distributes  more  than  a  thou- 
sand dollars  among  various  charities.  The  work  will 
be  handled  this  year  by  Mrs.  Frank  Barrow,  chair- 
man of  the  Philanthropy  Section.  Her  department  co- 
operates with  the  Red  Cross,  The  Salvation  Army 
and  the  Travellers'  Aid  Society,  and  handles  as  well 
its  individual  charity  cases. 

The  Hollywood  Woman's  Club  Chorus,  as  our 
Choral  Section  has  come  to  be  known,  will  give  its 
two  regular  concerts  in  January  and  May  and,  by 
special  request,  there  will  be  an  old  fashioned  cos- 
turn^  concert  on  the  fourteenth  of  December.  Hugo 
Kirchhofer  will  continue  to  direct  and  rehearsals 
will  be  held  every  Friday  morning  from  ten  to  twelve 
o'clock.  Mrs.  E.  R.  Baier  is  the  chairman.

CALIFORNIA  HISTORY  AND  LANDMARKS  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  President 


La    Casa    de    Caliuenga,   Fremont-Pico    Memorial 


Mrs.  A.   S.   C.  Forbes 


The  California  History  and  Landmarks  Club  was  organized  in  1916  with 
the  definite  object  and  purpose  of  arousing  greater  interest  in  the  American 
part  of  the  history  and  landmarks  of  this  State.  Different  persons  had  from 
time  to  time  attempted  to  save  the  historic  spot  where  the  Treaty  of  Ca- 
huenga  was  signed  by  Lt.-Col.  John  C.  Fremont  and  Gen.  Andres  Pico,  but 
througuh  lack  of  information  or  profound  indifference  the  general  public 
remained  passive  toward  the  project  and  the  site  was  marked  only  by  a 
Camino  Real  Bell.  The  Bell  was  erected  by  the  Hollywood  Woman's  Club 
in  1910  and  dedicated  by  Miss  Elizabeth  Benton  Fremont,  only  daughter  of 
Col.  Fremont.  The  history  connected  with  this  spot  and  the  pathos  of  this 
lonely  Bell  holding  vigil  over  the  most  historic  event  in  the  annals  of 
American-California  appealed  to  the  members  of  the  California  History 
and  Landmarks  Club  with  the  result  that  a  campaign  was  waged  that  has 
lasted  over  seven  years,  but  we  have  won  and  the  historic  spot  is  now  owned 
by  the  City  of  Los  Angeles.  It  has  been  placed  in  the  Park  Department 
and  will  be  made  a  fitting  memorial  to  the  memory  of  Col.  Fremont  and 
Gen.  Pico.  So  far  we  have  centralized  on  this  work,  therefore,  to  tell 
of  our  club  is  to  tell  of  this  project.  We  took  up  the  work  laid  down  by 
Mr.  Horatio  Rust  of  South  Pasadena.  In  1902  when  Mrs.  Fremont  was 
still  living  Mr.  Rust  circulated  a  petition  asking  the  legislators  of  California 
to  appropriate  the  small  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  for  a  suitable  monu- 
ment to  mark  this  spot.  The  petition  was  signed  by  the  Southern  California  Historical  Society,  The  Land- 
marks Club,  the  Superintendent  of  Schools,  bankers,  merchants,  hotel  men,  and  individuals  of  all  closses 
to  the  number  of  over  two  hundred.  The  legislature  passed  the  bill  but  Governor  Gage  vetoed  it.  Mr. 
Rust  tried  again  at  the  next  session  but  failed  to  obtain  any  favorable  results.  Then  there  arose  conten- 
tions as  to  the  validity  of  the  location.  It  was  to  quiet  the  title  as  it  were  that  first  interested  us.  We 
searched  the  archives  and  found  that  in  the  San  Fernando  Mission  lands  there  was  included  the  tracts 
called  "Cahuenga,"  "Encino,'  'Los  Alimos"  and  "Calabasas."  That  about  the  year  1800  the  tract  called 
"Cahuenga"  was  granted  to  one  Rameriz.  In  1845  Don  Tomas  Feliz  moved  to  the  rancho  and  built  the 
adobe  house  near  the  Cahuenga  Pass  where  the  Treaty  was  signed.  Col.  Fremont  in  his  Memoirs  says  on 
Page  652  that  the  articles  of  capitulation  were  made  and  entered  into  at  the  rancho  of  Cahuenga.  Both  Col. 
Fremont  and  his  wife  established  the  location  as  did  Don  Geronimo  Lopez  who  carried  the  flag  of  truce.  So 
just  why  there  ever  was  any  contention  was  and  is  still  a  mystery  to  us.  Yet  just  so  long  as  there  remained 
any  unproven  step  toward  a  complete  verification  "we  could  not  ask  the  public  to  make  purchase  of  this  site. 
When  our  proof  was  complete  we  asked  the  State  Historical  Survey  Commission  to  make  careful  examination 
of  the  papers  and  examine  the  site.  This  was  done.  A  written  endorsement  was  given  to  us  saying  the 
proofs  were  "full  and  sufficient"  to  prove  the  validity  of  the  site.  We  again  took  the  project  of  purchasing  the 
site  as  a  memorial  to  Fremont  and  Pico  to  the  public.  We  presented  our  papers  to  the  women's  clubs,  the 
Native  Sons  and  Daughters,  The  D  .A.  R.,  Pioneers  Society  and  patriotic  organizations.  Each  and  all  approved 
of  our  asking  the  business  men  to  provide  a  manner  for  the  purchase  of  the  site.  We  took  it  to  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  and  those  public-spirited  men  recommended  that  the  purchase  be  made  by  the  City  Council. 
The  City  Council  referred  it  to  the  City  Planning  Comission  for  approval  and  investigation  as  to  the  val- 
idity of  the  location.  The  Planning  Commission  examined  our  papers  and  recommended  the  purchase.  On 
May  25  a  resolution  was  passed  by  the  City  Council  authorizing  the  purchase.  So  after  seventy-seven 
years  the  people  of  the  State  of  California  are  doing  a  belated  honor  to  the  men  who  brought  Peace  to 
California  and  paved  the  way  whereby  this  glorious  state  became  the  property  of  the  United  States.  The 
exact  location  is  lots  16  and  17,  Universal  City  tract  of  Los  Angeles.  It  lies  opposite  the  Universial  City 
Film  Company  plant.  There  are  two  re-enforced  concrete  buildings  on  the  property  but  as  they  are  most 
fortunately  designed  along  lines  similar  to  the  original  adobe  house  they  make  an  attractive  nucleus  toward 
this  memorial.  We  will  gather  historical  relics  to  make  the  memorial  interesting  and  will  assist  the  Park 
Department   in   making  the   place   beautiful   and    attractive.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


CLUB  COMMENT 

By  Grace  Frye 


Conditions  in  the  Lincoln  Heights  jail  have  reached 
such  a  deplorable  state  that  club  women  in  general 
believe  that  the  time  is  now  ripe  for  some  concerted 
action  to  relieve  the  congestion  in  this  much-talked-of 
inferno.  To  this  end  Mrs.  O.  P.  Clark  and  Mrs. 
E.  R.  Brainerd  are  sponsoring  a  movement  for  some 
immediate  relief.  Particularly  to  aid  narcotic  addicts 
will  these  plans  be  directed  for  these  human  derelicts 
are  now  cell-herded  like  animals,  in  crowded,  dark, 
poorlv-ventilated  cells  where  these  men  who  are  sick, 
body  and  soul,  are  expected  to  rise  above  a  situation 
that  would  ruin  the  mental  and  physical  health  of  the 
very  elect  of  our  land.  As  a  first  aid  plan,  Mrs. 
Brainerd  and  Mrs.  Clark  are  asking  co-operation 
properly  to  enclose  an  out-door  exercise  yard,  which 
could  be  done  at  very  little  expense  for  a  little  sun- 
shine mixed  with  salvation  will  do  much  to  reha- 
bilitate these  addicts  as  well  as  to  add  daily  comfort 
of  every  inmate  of  the  jail. 


Friday  Morning  Club  dreams  are  now  becoming 
visible  in  the  new  club  house  which,  it  is  hoped,  will 
be  finished  in  February  of  next  year.  In  describing 
some  of  the  features  Mrs.  Andrew  S.  Lobingier, 
president  said:  "There  is  nothing  petty  or  mean  about 
its  proportions.  The  three  entrance  doors  in  the  center 
are  lofty  and  imposing  and  there  is  a  fine  impression 
of  space  as  one  enters  the  building,  for  the  entrance 
lobby  is  two  stories  high  and  well  proportioned  The 
Assembly  Hall  on  the  third  floor  is  a  noble  room. 
The  ceiling  is  so  high  that  there  is  a  mezzanine  floor 
on  the  south  side  and  a  gallery  on  the  north.  The 
banquet  room  on  the  fourth  floor  will  be  the  most 
beautiful  place  in  the  whole  building.  We  have  told 
the  architect  that  he  must  make  it  seem  like  an  island 
in  the  Pacific.  It  is  a  remote  room  shut  off  from  the 
noise  of  the  street  and  the  abundance  of  air  and 
sunshine  can  never  be  cut  off  by  any  buildings  that 
can  be  erected.  On  this  floor  we  really  own  the 
surrounding  atmosphere.  The  new  clubhouse  has  a 
voice  and  an  individuality  and  it  seems  to  me  already 
a   sermon   in   stone." 


In  clubs,  as  well  as  families,  there  are  infant  prodi- 
gies and  the  Henry  M.  Robert  Parliamentary  Club, 
although  but  a  month  old  is  already  a  very  learned 
infant.  This  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  as  Mrs.  Charles 
McKelvey  is  its  newly  elected  president.  At  present 
Mrs.  McKelvey  is  acting  as  both  district  and  state 
parliamentarian  for  the  C.  F.  W.  C.  and  entering 
her  tenth  season  as  curator  of  the  parliamentary 
section  of  the  Ebell  Club.  Other  officers  of  this  study 
club  include  Mrs.  John  R.  Dudley,  first  vice-president; 
Mrs.  W.  E.  Bruce,  second  vice-president;  Mrs.  W.  J. 
Lee,  secretary;  Mrs.  W.  F.  Fuller,  corresponding  sec- 
retary and  Mrs.  Ellen  French,  Aldrich,  treasurer. 
Meetings  are  to  be  held  monthly  in  the  Bank  of  Italy 
Conference  room  and  the  charter  membership  roll 
is  to  be  open  until  the  November  meeting. 


La  Camarada  Club,  of  the  intriguing  name,  was 
happily  surprised  at  a  recent  meeting,  when  the  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  C.  W.  Wade,  presented  to  the  club  an  eb- 
ony gavel  and  a  block  containing  the  names  of  all 
the  past  presidents.  There  was  also  much  rejoicing 
on  this  occasion  because  Mrs.  Sidney  Thomas  Exley, 
formerly  Vice-president-at-large  of  the  C.  F.  W.  C. 
became   an   honorary  member. 


the  more  one  sees  of  other  countries  the  more  will 
one  love  their  own.  Anyway,  this  year's  program 
outlines  the  study  of  a  different  country  each  month. 
The  club  is  meeting  this  year  at  the  McDowell  Club 
house,  462  North  Western  Avenue.  Mrs.  E.  C.  Kes- 
ling  is  starting  her  second  term  as  president  of  this 
organization  which  is  well  known  for  its  philanthropy 
and    progressiveness. 


Children's  book  week  is  to  be  observed  from  Nov- 
ember 11  to  17  and  the  slogan  this  year  will  be  "Earn- 
A-Book."  This  movement  is  now  recognized  the 
country  over  as  the  one  week  every  year  when  schools, 
public  libraries,  bookstores,  newspapers  and  many  or- 
ganizations unite  in  calling  the  attention  of  both 
children  and  parents  to  books.  Plans  for  this  work 
have  been  taken  care  of  by  Mrs.  M.  J.  Frick,  chair- 
man of  literature  for  the  C.  F.  W.  C.  in  this  district. 


Southern  District,  C.  F.  W.  C.  have  sent  out  the 
call  for  the  twenty-second  annual  convention  to  be 
held  in  Riverside  Nov^ember  13  to  16,  inclusive,  with 
headquarters  at  the  Mission  Inn.  The  keynote  of  the 
program,  as  announced  by  Mrs.  Kenneth  Oliver, 
Southern  District  President,  is  to  be  "Do  your  local 
work  well,  but  think  in  General  Federation  terms." 
The  meetings  will  be  held  in  the  Refectory  of  the 
Inn,  the  reception  Tuesday  evening  will  be  at  the 
Woman's  Club  House  and  the  banquet  of  Thursday 
night  will  be  held  at  the  Inn.  Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Win- 
ter, president  of  the  General  Federation  will  be  the 
speaker  November  15. 


Having  had  a  few  month's  rest  cure,  the  program 
of  the  Southern  California  Woman's  Press  Club  is 
coming  out  in  a  brand  new  dress  and  not  a  few 
new  ideas.  Contests  for  the  year  have  been  an- 
counced  as  follows ;  The  president,  Mrs.  Blanche 
Harriman  Verbeck  is  offering  a  $10  prize  for  the  best 
feature  article  or  story  of  the  Hollywood  Bowl  and 
its  Symphony  Concerts,  and  also  a  prize  of  the  same 
amount  to  the  club  member  bringing  in  the  largest 
number  of  new  memberships  during  the  current  year. 
Howard  Verbeck  is  offering  a  prize  of  $10  for  the 
best  shop  talk  program  of  the  year.  Arrangements 
are  being  made  to  change  the  meeting  dates  from 
the  second  and  fourth  Tuesdays  to  the  first  and  third 
Tuesdays  which  will  allow  the  club  to  hold  open  meet- 
ings in  larger  quarters  at  the  Ebell  Club,  this  move 
being  necessary  to  accommodate  the  increased  attend- 
ance. 


"Suggestionnaire"  is  the  new  word  coined  by  Mrs. 
F.  T.  Bicknell,  president  of  the  local  Audubon  So- 
ciety. Fourteen  leaflets,  with  this  caption  have  been 
mailed  to  newly  appointed  chairmen  of  birds  and 
wild-life,  through  the  district  chairmen.  And  the 
story  is  told  in  this  new  word  most  completely.  We 
think  Mrs.  Bicknell  should  have  a  vote  of  thanks 
from  club  women  for  this  most  concise   message. 


Evidently  the  Los  Angeles  Travel  Club  believes^  that 


Big  Sisters  League  has  discontinued  the  usual 
Thursday's  entertainment  until  the  beginning  of  the 
new  year.  This  is  to  enable  members  to  devote 
more  time  to  the  bazaar  and  benefit  which  has  defin- 
itely been  planned  for  the  fourteenth  and  fifteenth  of 
November.  Assistants  are  welcome  at  these  Thurs- 
day meetings  held  at  the  training  home,  2118  Trinity 
Street.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


Moving  day  is  almost  here  for  the  Philanthropy  and 
Civics  Club  for  its  nev?  clubhouse  at  1419  South 
Wilton  Place  is  to  be  ready  for  occupancy  this  month. 
It  is  expected  that  Mrs.  Lillian  Burkhart  Goldsmith, 
president,  vfill  return  in  time  for  this  house  warming. 


Watch  the  West  Ebell  Club  for  results  of  the  an- 
nual bazaar  to  be  held  November  15  and  16  at  its 
clubhouse.  Last  year  this  club,  with  a  membership  of 
less  than  three  hundred,  cleared  $1100  from  a  bazaar 
and  of  course,  this  year  will  beat  that  record.  We 
suggest  that  they  get  out  a  pamphlet  on  "How  to  Prof- 
itably Conduct  a  Bazaar."  This  might  be  of  such 
demand  as  to  add  another  source  of  profit  for  this 
affair. 


Cosmos  Club  will  soon  have  a  waiting  list,  as  this 
unique  organization  has  voted  to  limit  its  member- 
ship to  150.  According  to  Mrs.  Leland  Atherton 
Irish,  president,  this  will  allow  the  club  to  continue 
its  policy  of  personal  contact  with  every  member  so 
that  friendly  interest  need  never  be  limited  as  is 
often  necessary  in  larger  clubs. 


Every  letter  may  soon  be  cancelled  with  the  words: 
"Register  and  Vote"  if  the  plan  of  Mrs.  Arthur  S. 
Wier,  efficiency  government  chairman  of  the  League 
of  Women  Voters  carries.  This  request  is  to  be  made 
through  the  Postmaster  General  and  its  repeated  ap- 
peal is  expected  to  do  much  toward  getting  out  the 
forgetful  voterj  Among  the  studies  of  the  Southern 
section  of  this  league  is  the  tax  system  and  state 
budget;  to  aid  the  commission  in  preparing  a  new 
civil  service  law;  immigration  with  relation  to  unrest; 
the  United  States  Constitution,  its  spirit  and  history 
and  later  to  take  active  part  in  the  presidential  pri- 
maries. 


"Art  in  America"  is  the  general  topic  of  study 
for  The  Ruskin  Art  Club  this  year.  New  head- 
quarters have  been  secured  at  336  Columbia  Ave., 
which  is  seven  minutes  from  Broadway  on  the  Crown 
Hill  car  line.  Many  innovations  are  planned  by  the 
new  president,  Mrs.  J.  M.  Witmer,  among  them  be- 
ing the  luncheons  to  be  served  to  members  at  the 
close  of  the  programs.  November  will  have  three 
study  meetings,  the  subject  on  the  seventh  being  "The 
Settlement  of  New  York,"  November  14,  "Historic 
Churches";  November  21,  "Sun  Dials";  and  art  in 
several  New   York  cities. 


"Lest  We  Forget"  is  the  program  slogan  of  Esch- 
scholtzia  Chapter,  D.  A.  R.,  in  its  observance  of  Arm- 
istice Day.  Opening  at  The  Ebell  Club  House,  Tues- 
day, November  6  at  two  o'clock,  the  program  will  con- 
sist of  an  address  by  Rev.  Fletcher  G.  Watson,  "War 
and  Women."  A  reading,  "Birds  of  War"  by  the 
author.  Miss  Louisa  P.  Merritt  will  follow  and  music 
will  be   arranged   by  Miss  Esther  Burroughs. 


Much  interest  is  being  manifested  in  the  proposed 
building  plan  of  the  Women's  University  Club,  which 
is  practically  new  to  the  Pacific  coast,  although  it  has 
been  successfully  demonstrated  in  other  places.  In 
brief,  the  club  will  co-operate  with  an  insurance  com- 
pany, individual  members  carrying  twenty-year  en- 
dowment policies  made  out  in  favor  of  the  club.  The 
face  value  would  be  for  twice  the  amount  held  by 
the  member  and  the  club  would  pay  the  premium.  At 
the  maturity  of  the  policy  the  holder  would  receive 
in  cash  double  the  original  cash  sum.  This  propo- 
sition was  submitted  by  the  building  committee,  of 
which   Mrs.   Birney  Donnel   is  chairman. 


All  Ebell  Club  roads  will  lead  to  The  Biltmore 
Hotel,  November  9  when  the  afternoon  will  be  de- 
voted to  bridge  and  Mah  Jongg.  Simply  to  an- 
nounce an  affair  for  the  benefit  of  Ebell's  three  social 
service  activities,  Rest  Cottage,  Scholarship  and  Prac- 
tical Relief,  assured  success.  Added  to  this  is  the 
announcement  that  Mrs.  William  C.  Warmington, 
and  a  capable  committee  will  engineer  the  function. 
The  combination  will  make  this  affair  one  long  to  be 
remembered  even  in  the  social  annals  of  this  popular 
club. 


Much  wonderment  there  has  been  in  club  circles 
as  to  how  the  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glendale 
have  been  able  to  work  out  all  the  problems  incident 
to  financing  and  building  such  a  beautiful  clubhouse 
as  is  now  occupied  by  this  envied  organization.  Per- 
haps this  axiomatic  verse  advocated  by  members  will 
prove  a  helpful  clue,  for  this  is  what  they  believe: 

"I'm  but  a  cog  in  life's  vast  wheel 
That  daily  makes  the  same  old  trip 

Yet  what  a  joy  it  is  to  feel 

That  but  for  me  the  wheel  might  slip. 

'Tis  something,  after  all,  to  jog 

Along,    and    be    a    first    class    cog." 


A  TRIBUTE 

The    following    tribute    to    the    late    Roy  Bradley 

Wheeler,    son    of    Mrs.    Robert    J.    Burdette,  General 

Federation    Director   for   California   is    paid  by    Mrs.

ROY  BRADLEY  WHEELER 

Born     September    22,     1882— Died    October     17,     1923 

A   Shining  Mark! 

A  man  of  unusual  attainments  and  assured  posi- 
tion, his  life  was  simple,  direct,  sincere  and  friendly 
—ALWAYS  HELPFUL  AND   STRONG. 

As  a  tiny  child,  a  school  boy,  a  cub  reporter,  an 
editor,  as  a  bond-man,  a  farmer,  seeking  health  in  the 
great  out  of  doors,  these  characteristics  strengthened 
and  this  man  closed  his  earthly  life  as  he  had  lived 
it,  courageously.  The  world  is  richer  today  because 
he  has  lived. 

Today  a  family,  a  beloved  wife,  four  little  daugh- 
ters, a  mother  of  whom  he  was  the  only  child,  are 
bereft  of  his  intimate  companionship,  his  tenderness, 
his  brilliance,  his  poised  judgment,  but  the  heritage 
is  great.  Each  has  her  portion  to  treasure  in  the 
years  to  come — and  the  Mother's  treasure  is  the  tender 
joy  of  having  given  such  a  man  to  the  world. 

Peace  be  given  them !

in  a  practical  way  and  create  a  desire  for  this  knowl- 
edge   among   women's   clubs    is    the    high    aim   of    the

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SOROPTIMIST  CLUB 

By  Gertrude  C.  Maynard,  Chairman  Publicity  Committee 


California  women  have  once  more  demonstrated 
to  the  world  at  large  that  they  are  women  of  vision 
and  action.  For  it  was  in  the  minds  and  hearts  of  a 
small  group  of  California  women  that  this  newest 
and  most  distinctive  of  clubs  for  business  and  pro- 
fessional women  was  born. 

Two  years  ago,  a  small  group  of  busy  women  in 
Oakland  called  into  consultation  Stuart  Morrow,  who 
had  organized  the  "Rotary  Club''  in  the  British  Isles, 
and  asked  him  to  form  a  similar  club  for  women. 
It  was  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  California 
and  on  September  26,  1921,  the  first  chapter  was 
formally  organized  in  Oakland  with  a  membership 
of  eighty.  The  name  "Soroptimist,"  meaning  "Sister 
Optimists,"  was  coined   by  Mr.  Morrow. 

"The  Soroptimist  Club"  differs  from  other  clubs  in 
several  ways:  First,  there  can  be  only  one  such  club 
in  any  one  city;  Second,  only  an  owner  of  a  business 
or  an  executive  of  a  department  in  a  well  established 
business  is  eligible  to  membership ;  Third,  only  one 
classification  for  each  line  of  business  or  profession 
is  permitted  in  any  one  club,  but  most  important,  an 
attendance  of  almost  one  hundred  per  cent  is  de- 
manded in  order  that  the  club  may  properly  function. 

The  purposes  of  this  club  are  four-fold:  patriotic, 
civil,  moral  and  social.  Its  aim  is  to  encourage  and 
support  meritorious  civic  movements,  to  encourage 
the  practice  of  the  Goldeii  Rule  in  private  and  busi- 
ness life,  and  quoting  from  its  motto:  "To  develop 
efficiency  and  the  success  to  be  derived  therefrom;  the 
interchange  of  ideas  and  business  methods  as  a 
means  of  increasing  the  efficiency  and  usefulness  of 
Soroptimism;  the  recognition  of  the  %vorthiness  of  all 
legitimate  occupation  and  the  dignifying  of  the  oc- 
cupation of  each  Soroptimist  as  affording  her  an 
opportunity   to   serve   society." 

The  fame  of  this  new  born  idea  in  club  circles 
was  soon  carried  across  the  bay  and  on  February  27, 
1922,  a  chapter  was  formed  in  San  Francisco  with 
a  membership  of  one  hundred  and  seven.  Down 
the  coast  the  idea  came  and  on  July  18,  1922,  the 
Los  Angeles  Club  came  into  being  with  the  largest 
charter  membership  of  any  of  the  clubs,  having  on 
its   roll   one   hundred    and   thirteen    members. 

By  this  time  Eastern  cities  were  clamoring  for 
clubs.  So  Mr.  Morrow  appointed  Mrs.  Helena  M. 
Gamble  of  the  Oakland  Club  to  act  as  State  Organ- 
izer in  California.  In  October,  1922,  she  began 
work  in  Sacramento,  where  a  club  was  formed  March 
2,   1923,  with   a  membership  of  seventy-five. 

Mr.  Morrow  went  direct  to  Washington,  D.  C, 
where  a  club  was  organized  November  27,  1922, 
with  a  membership  of  one  hundred  and  eight.  On 
June  20,  1923,  he  completed  the  formation  of  the 
New  York  Club  with  a  membership  of  one  hundred 
and  two. 

Mr.  Morrow  then  crossed   the  Atlantic  and   is   now 


Oda  Faulconer,  Past-President  Soroptimist  Club 

engaged  in  organizing  a  Soroptimist  Club  in  London. 
Upon  his  return  to  this  country  a  State  Organiza- 
tion is  to  be  formed  in  California  and  work  pushed 
to   form   clubs   in    all   the    leading   cities.

SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA   WOMAN'S    PRESS    CLUB 


By  Blanche  Hai 

The  Southern  California  Woman's  Press  Club,  en- 
tering upon  its  season  of  1923-24,  with  Blanche  Har- 
riman  Verbeck  succeeding  herself  as  president,  is 
planning  to  far  exceed  even  the  splendid  work  done 
in  the  past. 

The  organization,  which  is  now  in  its  thirteenth 
year,  is  not  in  the  strictest  sense,  a  Press  Club,  but 
is  rather  an  organization  of  writing  women,  who  have 
banded  themselves  together  for  mutual  benefit  and  in- 
spiration. Though  practically  all  of  the  well  known 
newspaper  women  of  the  Southland  are  members  of 
the  Club,  there  are  also  such  writers  as  Gene  Strat- 
ton  Porter,  Marsh  Ellis  Ryan,  Elizabeth  Dejeans, 
B.  M.  Bower,  Mrs.  Rupert  Hughes,  Charlotte  Roslys 
Martin  and  scores  of  other  serious  workers  along 
fiction  lines. 

There  are  a  large  number  of  verse  writers,  lyric 
writers,  dramatists,  and  scenario  writers,  who  have 
made  a  name  and  a  place  for  themselves;  also  a 
goodly  number  of  composers  of  music,  with  surh  well 


riman  Verbeck 

known  names  as  Carrie  Jacobs  Bond,  Freda  Peycke, 
Anna  Priscilla  Rischer  and  many  others. 

Last  year  the  club  took  in  more  new  members  than 
any  two  preceding  years  in  its  history  and  at  the  be- 
ginning of  this  year  is  facing  the  gratifying  condition 
of  having  outgrown  its  quarters  on  the  second  floor  of 
the  Ebell  Club  house  and  is  moving  to  the  larger 
quarters  on  the  first  floor,  which  change  is  also  neces- 
sitating a  change  of  meeting  dates.  In  the  past  the 
two  monthly  meetings  have  been  on  the  second  and 
fourth  Tuesdays  and  in  the  future  will  be  held  on 
the  first   and   third   Tuesdays. 

Mrs.  Verbeck  instituted  several  new  policies  last 
year  which  will  be  carried  on  again,  one  of  them 
bringing  to  the  club  as  honor  guests  at  the  Open 
Meetings  twenty  or  twenty-five  people  who  have  vFon 
renown  in  fields  of  creative  endeavor,  giving  the  Club 
members  an  opportunity  for  personal  and  intimate 
contact  during  the  tea  hour  with  these  people  who 
are  achieving  worth  while  things.

the  various  subjects  of  interest  to  writers,  and  the 
people  appearing  on  these  days  will  be  the  most 
efficient  and  capable  to  be  had. 

Alternating  with  the  open  programs  will  be  the 
Shop  Talk  program,  which  is  a  meeting  for  members 
only,  getting  down  to  the  very  fundamental  principles 
of  writing,  and  designed  to  be  the  working  time  where 
a   real  cooperative  spirit  is   brought  out. 

Another  new  thing  established  last  year  was  the 
Literary  Marketing  Bureau,  which  is  being  managed 
by  Miss  Nina  Maude  Richardson,  with  offices  at  328 
H.  W.  Hellman  Building.  This  Bureau  is  designed 
to  place  and  handle  not  alone  the  work  of  the  Press 
Club  members,  but  of  any  aspiring  writer  who  does 
not  care  for  the  griefs  and  disappointments  attending 
the  marketing  of  manuscripts.  The  Bureau  also  pre- 
pares and  furnishes  programs  for  almost  any  occasion 
that  might  be  desired,  and  compiles  year  books,  pro- 
grams, brochures  and  the  like. 

A  collection  of  poems  with  a  mother  theme,  written 


by  members  of  the  club  during  the  past  year,  are 
being  compiled  into  an  Anthology  of  Mothers'  Day 
Verse,"  by  the  Bureau  at  the  present  time,  and  will 
be  published  before  Christmas. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Verbeck  are  offering  three  prizes 
to  stimulate  activity  for  the  coming  year,  the  first, 
a  cash  prize  for  the  best  feature  story  of  the  Holly- 
wood Bowl  and  its  symphony  concerts,  the  second, 
for  the  best  Shop  Talk  program  of  the  year,  and 
the  third  to  go  to  the  member  bringing  in  the  largest 
number  of  new   memberships  for  the  year. 

Another  new  feature  of  the  club  work  last  year 
was  the  issuing  of  a  bulletin  which  is  designed  to 
become  the  news  organ  of  the  club  as  well  as  to  carry 
the  bi-monthly  programs. 

An  interesting  feature  in  the  club  life  is  the  fact 
that  its  two  founders,  Emma  Seckle  Marshall  and 
Clara  Ellis  are  as  enthusiastically  and  energetically 
active  in  the  affairs  of  the  organization  now  as  they 
could  possibly  have  been  as  when  the  conceived  the 
thought  of   the   organization   thirty  years   ago. 


THE  KATE  TUPPERGALPIN  SHAKESPEARE  CLUB 

By  (Mrs.)  Caroline  S.  BradleyJ'ress  Chairman 


In  1901  Mrs.  Kate  Tupper  Galpin  organized  the 
Shakespeare  Club  which  bears  her  name.  Nine  years 
prior  to  the  organization  of  the  club,  Mrs.  Galpin  es- 
tablished a  class  "for  the  purpose  of  cultivating  an  ap- 
preciation of  the  works  of  Shanespease  in  its  members 
and  in  the  community."  Mrs.  Galpin  was  one  of 
the  early  leaders  who  championed  the  cause  of  wo- 
men. Her  splendid  vision  impelled  her  to  prepare 
women  for  those  privileges  and  responsibilities  which 
would  same  day  devolve  upon  them. 

When  the  Galpin  Club  came  into  being,  member- 
ship could  be  obtained  only  by  those  who  had  given 
thorough  study  to  twenty  Shakesperian  plays.  This 
high  standard  has  been  maintained  during  the  entire 
existence  of  the  club. 

In  order  to  make  possible  this  unusual  require- 
ment, the  class  which  was  organized  in  1892  is  still 
sponsored   by  the  club. 

This  year  the  club  is  felicitating  itself  upon  having 
secured  the  services  of  Mr.  Frayne  Williams,  engaged 
in  the  State  University  extension  work.  Mr.  Williams 
is  the  director  of  the  Literary  Theatre  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  California,  Southern  Branch.  He  is  a  pro- 
ducer of  plays  and  is  also  an  actor,  having  appeared 

'  in  various  Elizabethan  roles  as  well  as  in  modern 
ones.  Last  year  he  made  a  successful  appearance  in 
"The  Knight  of  the  Burning  Pestle." 

Under  the  able  leadership  of  Mr.  Williams  the 
group  of  plays  to  be  studied  will  include  "Henry  IV," 
"King  John,"  "Coriolanus,''  "Cymbeline,"  and 
"Twelfth  Night." 

The  study  class  is  open  to  any  one  who  cares  to 
take  advantage  of  such  a  promising  opportunity,  and 
those  who  desire  to  become  identified  with  the  class 
are  cordially  invited  to  attend  the  regular  meetings 
which  are  held  at  1500  South  Figueroa  Street,  every 
Tuesday   afternoon   at   two   o'clock. 

At  the  first  two  meetings  of  the  class,  Mr.  Williams 
gave    a   masterful   review   of   Shakespeare's   life,   as   a 

,  preliminary  to  the  study  of  the  above  mentioned  plays. 

:  On  October  the  twenty-third,  the  first  lecture  was 
given  on   Henry  IV,  which  was  of  exceptional  worth 

:  to  those  who  are  interested  in  the  works  of  the  famous 
playwright. 

Mrs.  Caroline  Walker,  who  edits  the  Women's 
Club   section   of  the    Evening   Herald,   has   called    the 

.  Galpin   Shakespeare  club  "The  Cradle  of  Club  Presi- 


dents." In  an  illuminating  article  on  Galpin  Club 
activities,  Mrs.  Walker  named  twelve  women  who 
had  become  presidents  of  various  clubs  in  Los  Angeles 
and  other  California  cities.  Among  these  may  be 
mentioned  Mrs.  Andrew  Lobingier,  former  president 
of  the  Woman's  City  Club,  and  who  is  now  serving 
her  fifth  year  as  president  of  the  Friday  Morning 
Club.  Mrs.  O.  Shepard  Barnum,  Friday  Morning 
Club;  Mrs.  William  Jones,  Los  Angeles  Ebell  Club; 
Mrs.  J.  Bert  Stearns,  Woman's  City  Club;  and  the 
late  Mrs.  Matthew  Robertson,  Los  Angeles  Ebell 
Club.  This  is  a  remarkable  record  for  one  club  when 
it  is  considered  that  the  active  membership  does  not 
exceed  one  hundred  and  fifty  (150)  and  speaks  well 
for  the  type  of  culture  demanded   by  the  club. 

Another  extraordinary  feature  of  this  rather  indi- 
vidual organization,  is  the  retention  on  the  member- 
ship roll  of  the  name  of  every  person  who  has  been 
a  member  of  the  Galpin  Club.  Among  the  names  re- 
corded one  finds  that  of  the  noted  and  beloved  actor, 
Mr.  Frederick  Warde,  and  among  the  names  of  those 
who  have  passed,  may  be  found  that  of  Madame 
Helena  Modjeska. 

Mrs.  Frederic  B.  West,  the  re-elected  president  of 
the  Galpin  Shakespeare  Club,  presided  at  the  open- 
ing meeting  of  the  Club,  which  was  held  at  1500 
South  Figueroa  Street  on  Wednesday  morning,  Oc- 
tober 10  at  ten-thirty  o'clock.  After  the  president's 
address  of  welcome,  the  morning  was  devoted  to  the 
reading  of  Clemence  Dane's  unique  drama  "Will 
Shakespeare."  This  clever  writer,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered, is  the  author  of  the  very  successful  and  much 
discussed   play  "A  Bill  of   Divorcement." 

The  drama  "Will  Shakespeare"  was  most  excel- 
lently interpreted  by  Mrs.  Walter  Raymond  Gillette, 
who  is  prominently  identified  with  numerous  clubs  in 
Southern  California,  being  president  of  the  Drama 
League,  Curator  of  the  Los  Angeles  Ebell  Depart- 
ment, chairman  of  the  Galpin  Club  Dramatic  Com- 
mittee, being  also  identified  with  the  Advisory  Board 
of  the  New  Fine  Arts  Theatre,  the  Production  Com- 
mittee of  the  Play  Crafters  and  various  other  organi- 
zations. 

An  Anthony  and  Cleopatra  program  will  be  repre- 
sented at  the  November  meeting  of  the  Club  under 
the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Caroline  S.  Bradley.  One  of

The  CLUBWOMAN 


AVERILL  STUDY   CLUB 


By  Harriette  L.  Rundel,  Press  Chairman 


The  Averill  Study  Club  was  organized  by  Mrs. 
Anna  S.  Averill  about  thirty-five  years  ago,  then 
called  the  Tuesday  Study  Class.  She  was  a  woman 
of  vision  and  with  her  surpassing  personality  in- 
spired her  class  to  make  its  best  efforts  to  improve 
life  in  every  way.  She  was  its  president  then  presi- 
dent emeritus,  and  after  her  demise  her  sister,  Mrs. 
Juliet  Stever,  succeeded  to  that  position,  and  is  still 
with   us. 

A  little  word  will  serve  to  show  the  real  worth 
of  Mrs.  Averill.  After  failing  health  obliged  her  to 
give  up  active  work  she  charged  the  club  to  "Go  on, 
with  every  faculty  alert  to  strengthen  and  broaden 
every  intellectual  power  and  standard,  and  to  build 
life  on  a  firm  foundation  of  spiritual  worth  and  char- 
acter." 

This  was  her  legacy  of  inspiring  incentive  and 
counsel.  She  wanted  the  members  to  continue  on 
these  lines,  and  to  study  and  exchange  ideas  about 
the  live  issues  of  the   day. 

There  are  now  about  fifty  members,  most  of  whom 
gather  each  week  to  try  to  carry  on  the  ideals  with 
which  she  formed  the  class.  These  meetings  are  held 
each  Tuesday,  and  are  not  only  helpful  to  intellect 
and  spirit,  but  enjoyable  in  friendly  and  social  ways. 
A  few   statistics  follow. 

Its  present  officers  are  as  follows: 

President  Emeritus Mrs.   Juliet   Stever 

President Mrs.    C.    B.    Slaughter 

First   Vice   President Mrs.   Wirt   C.    Smith 

Second    Vice   President Mrs.   Charles   H.    Silk 

Recording    Secretary Mrs.    W.   R.    Wardner 

Treasurer Mrs.    G.   Edward    Averill 

Corresponding   and    Financial    Secretary 

Mrs.    Torry    T.    Omdalen 

At  our  first  meeting  this  season,  on  October  2, 
Mrs.  Juliet  Stever  gave  the  greetings,  followed  by 
an  address  on  "Broadcasting"  by  Mrs.  Sidney  T. 
Exley,  State  Trustee,  Los  Angeles  District  Federation 
of  Women's  Clubs,  of  whom  we  are  justly  proud,  as 
she  is  one  of  our  best  loved  members.  Several  songs 
were  rendered  by  Mrs.  Helen  C.   Sexton. 

On  October  16,  a  party  was  held  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  Horr  in  honor  of  the  birthday  of  our  president 
emeritus,  also  the  thirtieth  anniversary  of  the  date 
on  which  Mrs.  J.  A.  Smith  joined  the  club.  The 
trend  of  thought  in  the  various  short  addresses  given 
was  to  further  the  ideal  of  our  State  Federation 
President,  Mrs.  Urquhart,  "The  Spiritual  Force  of 
Understanding." 

Mrs.  Stever  and  Mrs.  Smith  each  gave  an  inter- 
esting reminiscent  talk,  and  Mrs.  Alexander  followed. 
Both  guests  of  honor  were  presented  with  birthday 
cakes,  cards  and  flowers.     A  most  enjoyable  event. 

The  programs  of  last  year  were  generally  given 
by  members  of  the  club,  though  several  were  fur- 
nished by  others  in  whole  or  in  part.  Mrs.  John 
C.  Urquhart,  State  President  of  the  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  gave  an  excellent  address.  Mrs. 
F.  T.  Bicknell,  president  of  the  Los  Angeles  Audubon 
Society,  gave  a  pleasing  talk.  Mrs.  Caroline  B. 
Eager  entertained  us  with  stories  of  her  travels. 
Madam  Zafka  from  Bombay,  India,  gave  a  most  in- 
teresting talk  on  the  people  and  government  of  her 
country,  and  Mrs.  Farr  of  Minneapolis  gave  a  resume 


of  her  work  as  foster  mother  of  four  thousand  news- 
boys. Other  speakers  also  favored  us  during  the 
year. 

Two  legislative  programs  were  given  (Mrs. 
Nathan  P.  Bailey,  Chairman)  with  prominent  speak- 
ers  on   legislative   subjects. 

Mrs.  Lucy  Holmes  Adams,  Chairman  of  Civics, 
provided  three  programs,  in  which  Mrs.  S.  C.  Bowen, 
Mrs.  Adelaide  Brewer  and  Mrs.  Carlton  Seaver  took 
part.  The  Books  and  Magazines  Committee  (Mrs. 
J.  A.  Smith,  Chairman)  gave  seven  programs — all 
good. 

Mrs.  Wirt  C.  Smith,  chairman  of  the  Drama 
Committee,  prepared  a  little  drama  written  by  Kate 
Douglas  Wiggin,  "The  Old  Peabody  Pew,"  in  two 
acts.  This  was  decidedly  amusing,  and  is  to  be 
repeated    at  the    request   of   many   friends. 

Mrs.  Stever,  our  beloved  president  emeritus,  gave 
a  comprehensive  outline  of  the  history  and  teachings 
of  the  Bible,  showing  her  rich  store  of  knowledge 
and  religious  experience. 

Several  musicians — both  vocal  and  instrumental — 
entertained  us  with  their  talent,  among  them  being 
Mrs.  Coleman  and  Miss  Bemis,  Mrs.  Robert  Bacon 
and  Mrs.  Sara  Maile  Crane,  Misses  Marjorie  and 
Grace  Vorhes  and  others,  also  a  masterly  piano 
recital  by  Prof.  Brahn  Van  den  Berg. 

The  giving  of  current  events  or  quotations  was 
a  pleasing  part  of  many  programs,  in  which  all  were 
expected   to   take   part. 

Mrs.  Torry  L.  Omdalen,  then  press  chairman,  gave 
an  entertainment  at  her  home,  at  which  time  we  had 
the  pleasure  of  listening  to  addresses  by  Mrs.  Flor- 
ence Collins  Porter,  Belle  McCord  Roberts,  A.  S. 
Patterson    and    Ruth   McClintock. 

The  birthday  party  of  Mrs.  Alexander  held  at 
the  home  of  Mrs.  Lucy  Holmes  Adams  was  a  time 
of  cheer,  with   a   suitable   program. 

The  Christmas  celebration,  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
G.  Edward  Averill  was  a  delightful  occasion,  and 
we  were  entetrained  with  an  address  and  fine  music 
by   Mrs.   Gertrude   Auld   Thomas. 

Two  of  our  members  passed  away  during  the  year. 
Miss  Marie  Bennett  and  Mrs.  Mary  True.  These 
will   be  "greatly  missed. 

Social  service  work  was  done,  including  sewing 
for  the  Needlework  Guild  (to  which  one  hundred 
twenty-five  garments  were  given),  also  money  for 
the  Crippled  Children's  Guild  (as  a  memorial  to 
Miss  Bennett),  money  for  the  milk  fund  for  Dr. 
Maud  Wilde  of  Mothers'  Educational  Center  and 
for  the   Salvation  Army. 

This  is  a  little  outline  of  our  club  and  its  activi- 
ties during  the  past  year.  We  have  now  entered 
upon  a  new  season,  intent  on  making  the  coming 
year  better  than  the  previous  ones,  trying  to  carry 
on  the  ideals  of  the  founder  in  the  best  way  now 
possible. 

Times  are  changing  and  duties  that  once  seemed 
simple  are  many  of  them  more  difficult,  owing  partly 
perhaps  to  the  multiplicity  of  problems  of  the  present 
day,  but  we  hope  our  faculties  will  all  be  alert  and 
our  spirits  eager  to  make  life  as  well  worth  while 
as  present  surroundings  permit. 

Long  live  the  Averill  Study  Club.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


LOS  ANGELES  AUDUBON  SOCIETY 

By  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo,  Press  C hairman 


Heart's  Desire  in  the  breasts  of  several  members 
of  the  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society,  brought  on 
attacks  of  "wanderlust"  which  caused  interesting 
migrations.  According  to  the  symptoms  they  went 
in  different  directions;  some  required  the  heights  of 
snow-capped  mountains,  some  the  elevated  mesas. 
Tke  sea   lured  one,   the  East  another. 

Reports  coming  in  are  vibrant  with  lively  experi- 
ences. Mrs.  Clark  Brown,  with  her  sister.  Miss 
Minta  Vaughan,  write  from  Idyllwild  that  the  Blue- 
fronted  Jays  wake  them  at  early  dawn  with  debates 
among  themselves;  they  seem  to  adjourn  the  court 
from  day  to  day  with  no  judge  to  settle  their  dis- 
putes. One  hundred  and  eighty-seven  species  of  birds 
are  reported  there  and  they  intend  to  list  many  of 
them. 

While  mo.oring  through  the  East,  not  even  the 
speed  of  their  Marraon  could  blind  the  eyes  of  our 
President,  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  to  the  birds  along 
the  way.  Many  were  familiar  in  former  days  and 
she  was  thrilled  with  joy  at  sight  of  the  Robins, 
the  Catbirds,  Baltimore  Orioles  and  ruby-throated 
Humming  Birds.  She  associates  the  brilliant  Cardi- 
nal with  sacred  Arlington  Cemetery,  where  he  sits 
high  in  the  trees  and  whistles  his  cheery  notes.  The 
Brown  Thrusher,  Blue  Jay  and  Southern  Mocking- 
bird added  charm  for  her  at  Mount  Vernon.  Spend- 
ing a  night  at  highbrow  Lenox,  Mass.,  the  scintillat- 
ing Fireflies  swinging  their  fairy  lanterns,  held  her 
spellbound  and  near  her  "old  home  town"  on  Lake 
Mendota  at  Madison,  Wis.,  she  saw  the  rare  Black 
Tern.  Much  pleasure  is  gained  even  in  a  flying 
trip  when  one  is  interested  in  the  floral  carpet  over 
which  she  drives  and  the  bird  life  which  is  every- 
where. 

Tarkio,  Missouri,  sends  a  wireless  from  our 
"winter  visitant,"  Mrs.  W.  L.  Salmon,  which  is  all 
thrills.  She  made  the  migration  eastward  in  April 
and  organized  a  society,  auxiliary  to  the  Los  An- 
geles Audubon,  of  thirty  members,  which  immediate- 
ly began  field  work.  This  they  continued  through 
May  and  June,  the  migratory  season,  when  there  are 
dazzling  numbers  of  birds  returning  from  their 
winter  outings  back  to  their  nesting  habitat.  She 
tells  of  a  delightful  experience  when  driving  one  day 
into  the  country  with  her  husband.  She  saw  a  bird 
fly  up  from  a  meadow  singing  a  most  wonderful 
song!  It  was  new  to  her  and  made  her  catch  her 
breath;  she  left  her  husband  to  complete  his  business 
trip,  while  she  crawled  under  a  wire  fence  and 
spent  two  glorious  hours  in  company  with  Bobolinks,, 
learning  their  ecstatic  song  and  the  cut  and  color 
of  their  spring  suits.  She  also  tells  of  rescuing  a 
family  of  five  young  Robins  when  something  had 
befallen  the  mother,  and  of  her  care  and  devotion 
in   raising  them,   but  that  is    a   whole   story  by  itself. 

Mrs.  Robert  Fargo  found  new  pleasure  in  Laguna 
Beach  by  locating  in  the  heart  of  the  Artist  Colony 
where  art  and  nature  go  hand  in  hand.  Just  out- 
side her  windows  a  thicket  of  tree  tobacco  attracted 
scores  of  Hummingbirds.  She  counted  eighteen  fe- 
male Annas  at  one  time,  which  were  snapping  and 
whirring  while  they  dipped  their  long  bills  into  the 
flower  tubes.  Each  morning  an  Arizona  Hooded 
Oriole  beat  the  rising  sun  with  his  low  whistled  song 


and  chatter,  while  Anthony  Towhees  flirted  in  pairs 
on   the  ground    and   in  the   air. 

Touring  Yellowstone  Park  one  has  little  oppor- 
tunity to  do  "birding"  nor  are  there  many  birds,  but 
in  the  canyon  Mrs.  M.  P.  Brownlee  saw  her  first 
Clark's  Nutcracker,  a  bird  of  the  Jay  family  seen 
only  at  high  altitudes,  and  the  Rocky  Mountain  Jay. 
The  Water  Ouzel,  "the  bird  that  swims"  was  seen 
where  the  rapids  were  most  turbulent,  and  on  the 
ground  a  pink-sided  Junco  was  teaching  its  young  to 
feed  them  themselves.  The  greatest  show,  however, 
was  an  Osprey's  nest  built  on  the  point  of  one  of  the 
tall  granite  needles!  It  looked  hardly  safe  and  one 
wondered  why  the  two  large  eggs  did  not  roll  off! 
Seven  of  these  keen-eyed,  handsome  Fish  Hawks  were 
seen    flying   overhead. 

Mrs.  E.  J.  Saunders  traversed  many  states  in  her 
flight,  going  north  to  Vancouver,  B.  C,  and  through 
the  Middle  West.  She  says  "Although  of  kin  and 
in-laws  I  have  met  legions,  they  are  out-numbered 
by  the  birds  I  have  seen."  She  has  listed  one 
hundred  and  two  different  species;  of  these  nineteen 
are  new  to  her.  She  will  give  us  her  full  list  in 
her  report  at  our  opening  meeting.  Interesting  notes 
were  made  by  Mrs.  C.  B.  Raitt  during  her  stay  at 
the  High  Sierra  Playground  Camp.  The  Cassin 
Purple  Finch  was  abundant  and  one  nest  was  seen 
with  three  finely  speckled  eggs.  When  the  snows 
come  and  cover  all  the  "Elfin  forest,"  these  birds 
migrate  through  Mexico  to  Mount  Orizaba.  A  pretty 
sight  was  a  golden-crowned  Kinglet  so  engrossed  in 
feeding  her  babies  that  Mrs.  Raitt  stepped  within 
four  feet  of  her — but  she  didn't  have  her  camera! 
White-crown  Sparrows  were  as  numerous  as  are 
the  Gamble  with  us  in  winter.  One  nest  was  seen. 
A  nest  of  the  Wright  Flycatcher  was  found  with 
three  tiny  naked  babies  and  one  pure  white  egg. 
The  zenith  of  possible  desire  was  the  uplifting  song 
of  the  Sierra  Hermit  Thrush.  To  quote  Mr.  Bur- 
roughs: "It's  phrases  can  be  expressed  in  the  words, 
'Oh,  spheral,  spheral!  Oh,  holy,  holy!'  To  hear 
this  in  the  solemn  stillness  of  sunrise  when  the  dark 
fir  forest  is  tipped  with  gold,  or  in  the  hush  of  sun- 
set when  the  western  sky  is  aglow  and  the  deep 
voice  rises  from  its  chantry  in  slow,  soul-stirring 
cadences,  'high-up,  high-up,  look-up,  look-up,' "... 
This,  I  say,  carries  the  soul  to  the  greatest  heights 
attained  by  loving  the  birds  and  getting  acquainted 
with  them  in  their  natural  habitat.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


ELYSIAN  HEIGHTS  CIVIC   CLUB 


By  Mrs.  George  F.  Grogan,  Press  Chairman 


The  Elysian  Heights  Civic  Club  has  several  rea- 
sons for  adopting  "On  the  Heights"  as  their  motto. 
The  words  were  primarily  suggested  by  the  book 
entitled  "On  the  Heights,"  written  by  the  German 
novelist  and  philosopher,  Berthold  Auerbach.  The 
second  reason  because  of  the  fitness  of  the  words 
regarding  the  chosen  location  of  the  club  home  on 
the  pinnacle  of  the  hills  overlooking  the  valleys  and 
the  sea.  Truly  may  we  say  in  this  instance,  "I  will 
lift  up  mine  eyes  unto  the  hills  from  whence  cometh 
my  help."  Another  reason  for  the  selection  is  obvi- 
'  ous,  for  what  better  purpose  could  one  have  in  view 
than   to   attain   the   heights? 

The   club   is   fortunate   this   year   in   having   for   its 

president,     Mrs.     Gordon     Young,     talented     wife     of 

Gordon   Ray  Young,   the   well-known   novelist.      Mrs. 

,  Young  is  a  woman  of  vision,  and  the  members  under 

her  supervision   are  preparing  for   a   busy  year. 

The  club  meetings  are  held  on  the  first  Friday 
of  each  month  at  the  homes  of  the  different  members. 
It  is  the  definite  aim  of  the  workers  this  year  to 
obtain  a  lot  "on  the  heights"  and  pave  the  way  for 
a  clubhouse  of  their  own.  Many  plans  are  being 
laid  for  raising  funds  to  be  used  for  this  purpose, 
among  which  are,  first,  a  "Hope  Chest,"  which  the 
president  has  generously  offered  to  donate,  and  the 
members  will  fill  it.  It  is  hoped  to  have  this  on  the 
market  by  December.  Several  dancing  parties  will 
be  given  as  they  proved  so  successful  in  the  past, 
a  Hallowe'en  costume  ball  will  be  given  at  the  home 
of    one    of    the    members.      All    these    doings    serve    a 


dual  purpose  as  they  help  to  swell  the  building  fund 
and  also  keep  up  the  social  interest. 

Civic  affairs  play  a  prominent  part  in  the  life  of 
the  club.  Special  attention  is  paid  to  the  cleanliness 
of  the  streets  and  vicinity.  A  watchful  eye  is  kept 
on  the  street  car  service.  Id  fact,  all  conditions  and 
problems  which  would  properly  come  under  the  head- 
ing of  civic  work  are  discussed  and  action  taken 
when  deemed  necessary.  Some  time  is  also  given 
to  philanthropic  work.  Mrs.  Frank  Kirkby,  past 
president  of  the  club,  takes  charge  of  the  needlework 
guild  donations  of  time  and  money  given  by  mem- 
bers and  she  reports  most  gratifying  results  from 
the  same.  The  work  of  philanthropy  is  recognized 
in  various  other  ways.  At  each  meeting  there  are 
usuall}'  two  principle  speakers,  one  of  whom  is  re- 
quested to  speak  on  a  civic  question.  For  instance 
a  battalion  chief  of  the  fire  department  explained  the 
fire  situation.  The  water  problem  of  low  pressure 
and  the  scarcity  at  times  of  the  precious  fluid,  will  be 
brought  before  the  club  by  one  of  the  heads  of  the 
water   department. 

The  other  speakers  have  a  wide  range  of  topics, 
but  they  all  bring  worth  while  messages.  Music  is 
not  forgotteii  and  quite  often  has  a  place  on  the 
program. 

Federation  work  and  interests  are  kept  up  at  all 
times. 

Each  year  the  membership  is  growing  and  with 
increase  of  numbers  there  is  an  added  impetus  to 
work. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB    OF   BURBANK 


The  Woman's  Club  of  Burbank,  while  of  less 
than  two  hundred  members,  nevertheless  .stands  out 
as  one  of  the  big  clubs  in  the  state  in  the  matter  of 
achievement. 

They  were  organized  in  1909  as  a  civic  body, 
with  the  primary  aim  of  building  up  their  town,  and 
making  it  an  ideal  community  for  homes  and  busi- 
ness   interests. 

They  have  at  all  times  been  the  right  hand  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  the  rapid  growth  and 
clean  principles  of  the  city  attest  their  success.  Now 
they  are  hoping  soon  to  see  their  one  selfish  dream 
realized. 

And  yet,  should  we  call  it  "selfish"  to  desire  a 
beautiful  club  home  which  will  provide  a  meeting 
place  not  only  for  the  club  meetings  but  also  as  a 
community  center  where  the  happy  young  people  may 
find  their  pleasures  and  not  be  lured  away  to  the 
less    ennobling    adventures    of   the   great   city? 

The  club  is  making  very  rapid  strides  this  year 
under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Walter  C.  Fisher,  and 
her  capable  board   and  committees. 

On  October  11,  12  and  13,  they  staged  their  annual 
Fall    Festival,    with    marked    success. 

Rare  and  delightful  programs  were  furnished  each 
afternoon  and  evening  under  the  capable  chairman- 
ship of  Mrs.   Harry  J.  Valentine. 

Artists    who,     under    ordinary    circumstances,     one 


would  pay  quite  a  sum  to  hear,  appeared  on  her  pro- 
grams in  the  high  school  auditorium,  and  the  public 
was  privileged  to  attend  at  a  remarkably  low  price — 
another   civic  benefit. 

Perhaps  the  program  that  will  remain  in  the  hearts 
of  the  townspeople  longest  was  that  given  on  Satur- 
day evening  when  "The  Bohemian  Players  of  Bur- 
bank"  gave  their  initial  performance  with  the  charm- 
ing and  versatile  club  president,  Mrs.  Walter  C. 
Fisher,    in   the    leading   feminine   role. 

Financially  the  festival  was  a  marked  success, 
netting  more  than  $1000   for  the  club  house  fund. 

One  of  the  new  and  unique  features  this  year  was 
the  Hope  Chest,  filled  by  the  needle  work  section 
and  given  the  holder  of  the  lucky  ticket.  Imagine 
winning  for  25  cents  a  marvelous  cedar  hope  chest 
filled  with  the  following  articles  made  by  the  hands 
of  Burbank's  most  finished  needlework  artists:  4 
linen  dresser  covers,  8  linen  towels,  6  bath  towels 
%Tith  beautiful  crocheted  edging  in  colors,  12  glass 
towels  embroidered,  1  bedspread,  4  pairs  pillow  slips, 
piquot  brand,  6  sheets,  1  pair  woolen  blankets,  1 
fine  linen  table  cloth  with  napkins,  4  luncheon  sets, 
beautifully  embroidered  and  2  buffet  sets. 

Such   was   the   luck   of   Mrs.   J.   L.   Walter. 

The  ladies  who  were  in  charge  of  this  Pandora 
box  were  Mrs.  G.  S.  Roach,  Mrs.  E.  A.  Fisher  and 
Mrs.  Howard  Vance.

SANTA  BARBARA 

COUNTY  NOTES 

The  eighth  semi-annual  Santa  Barbara  County 
Convention  is  set  for  November  3  at  Santa  Maria. 
Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Winter,  president  of  the  General 
Federation,  is  to  arrive  in  Los  Angeles  on  that  date, 
which  precludes  the  officers  of  Los  Angeles  District 
attending  the  convention.  However,  the  presence  of 
th  county  president,  Mrs.  John  Woods  Dorrance  of 
Carpinteria:  the  vice  presidents  at  large,  Mrs.  L.  F. 
McClellan  of  Guadalupe  and  the  president  of  the 
A  to  Z  Club  of  Santa  Maria,  Mrs.  Francis  L.  Gray, 
and  her  committees,  insure  a  splendid  convention, 
looking  to  the  future  development  of  the  Federation 
spirit   in   Santa   Barbara   County. 

The  Minerva  Library  Club  of  Santa  Maria,  of 
which  Mrs.  Frank  H.  Gates  is  president,  is  always 
active  in  civic  affairs,  as  well  as  sponsoring  much 
of   the   social   life  of   the  city. 

They  are  at  present  devoting  much  loving  labor 
to  the  float  which  they  will  enter  in  the  Armistcie 
Day  parade. 

The  Community  Club  of  Santa  Maria,  Mrs.  R.  Lee 
Goodin,  president,  is  one  of  the  newest  clubs  in  the 
district,  but  its  members  are  already  doing  much 
to  foster  the  spirit  which  their  name  implies. 

The  Welfare  Club  of  Guadalupe  is  constantly  plan- 
ning some  civic  affair  to  bring  pleasure  to  the  towns- 
people at  large.  They  support  the  library  which 
means  so  much  to  the  community  and  is  of  untold 
benefit  to   the   school. 

Perhaps  their  outstanding  social  affair  of  the  fall 
season  is  the  annual  Hallowe'en  party,  when  most 
of  the  children  of  the  town  enter  as  contestants  in  a 
costume  parade. 

Prizes  are  awarded  to  the  most  novel,  the  pret- 
tiest, the  ugliest,  the  most  original  costumes  and  the 
largest,  the  smallest  and  the  most  artistic  home-made 
lantern. 

Each  year  the  entries  are  more  clever  and  unique 
and    show    much    original    artistic    ability. 

Mrs.  L.  F.   McClellan   is   president  this   year.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 

(Continued  From  Page  14^) 

The  French  Section,  Mrs.  Prescott  Stevens  chair- 
man, and  H.  L  .Goumaz,  instructor,  will  have  three 
classes  this  year — for  beginners,  intermediate,  and  ad- 
vanced. Mr.  Goumaz  is  a  graduate  of  the  Univers- 
ity of  Paris  and  the  University  of  Geneva. 

The  same  three  classes  will  be  conducted  in  the 
Spanish  Department,  Mrs.  C.  B.  Cleveland,  chairman. 
Miss  Moisant,  who  has  conducted  the  classes  for  the 
last  two  years,   will   be   in   charge   again. 

The  Shakespeare  Section,  Mrs.  Hector  Geiger,  chair- 
man, will  study  the  plays  Cymbeline,  Antony  and 
Cleopatra,   and   Coriolanus. 

Besides  the  programs  given  by  the  various  de- 
partments, there  are  regular  afternoon  programs  ar- 
ranged by  Mrs.  Orville  L.  Routt.  The  most  import- 
ant people  from  all  parts  of  the  country,  experts  and 
artists,  in  all  lines  of  business  and  professions,  come 
as  speakers  at  these  special  programs. 

This  concludes  the  program  for  the  year's  work 
but  no  article  on  the  Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood  is 
complete  without  mention  of  the  Junior  Auxiliary. 
Ours  was  one  of  the  first  clubs  in  the  state  to  intro- 
duce this  department.  The  girls  have  their  own 
officers  and  arrange  their  own  programs.  Mrs.  M.  F. 
Palmer  is  their  adviser.  Under  her'  guidance  they 
form  the  connecting  link  between  the  older  members 
of  the  club  and  the  future  of  Hollywood. 


THE  KATE  TUPPER  GALPIN   SHAKESPEARE 
CLUB 

(Continued  from   Page  26) 

the  interesting  features  of  the  program  will  be  the 
discussion  of  the  play  after  the  reading  of  the  leader's 
paper. 

Music  lovers  of  the  club  will  be  delighted  to  know 
that  Miss  Mary  Hogan,  harpist  in  the  Los  Angeles 
Philharmonic  Orchestra  will  give  three  harp  numbers; 
Binding's  Rustling  of  Spring,  Dubussy's  Second  Ara- 
besque, and  Godefroid's  La  Jeune  et  la  Vieille.  This 
remarkable  young  woman  who  is  barely  out  of  her 
teens  is  beginning  her  fifth  season  with  the  Philhar- 
monic Orchestra.  She  has  been  a  pupil  of  A.  De 
Vivo,  S.  R.  Valenza  and  is  at  present  a  co-worker 
with  Mr.  Alfred  Kastner.  She  is  the  only  woman  in 
the  orchestra.  It  is  seldom  that  one  finds  a  girl  so 
youthful  identified  with  an  organization  which  enjoys 
such  a  fine  reputation  in  national  musical  circles  as 
does  this  Los  Angeles  Orchestra. 

Miss  Hogan's  future  will  be  watched  with  interest 
by  all  music  loving  club  women. 

On  this  same  program,  Mr.  Richard  Drake  Saun- 
ders, one  of  Los  Angeles'  promising  young  com- 
posers will  play  Greig's  Midsummer  Nocturne,  Ed- 
gar Barratt's  Cloud  Shadows  and  by  request  Mr. 
Saunder's  own  composition,  Desir. 

The  Play  Crafters  are  preparing  a  farcical  presen- 
tation of  scenes  from  Anthony  and  Cleopatra — which 
will  conclude  the  program  for  November  the  four- 
teenth. 


Natural  Food 

Is  Most  Important 
for  Children 

The  most  natural  foods  are  the  most 
beneficial,  especially  for  infants  and 
children.  Nature  intends  milk  to  be 
consumed  exactly  as  she  produces  it — 
clean,  pure,  and  free  from  special 
treatment  of  any  kind. 


ia  produced 
according  to 
the  most 
rigid  stand- 
a  r  d  8  of 
cleanliness. 


These  standards  are  constantly 
maintained   at  Arden   Dairy. 

Inspections  at  the  farm  are  repeat- 
edly made  by  the  Medical  Milk  Com- 
mission and  by  the  Department  of 
Health. 

Doctors  are  constantly  recommend- 
ing Certified  Milk,  because  they  pre- 
fer to  start  with  a  natural  product  of 
kno'wn  cleanliness,  regardless  of  any 
modifications  'which  may  be  necessary 
to  meet  specific   feeding   requirements. 

Thousands  of  babies  and  children 
are  receiving 

each  day.  The  most  conclusive  proof 
of  its  life  and  health-giving  qualities 
rests  in  the  statements  from  mothers 
whose  own  children  are  being  guided 
happily  through  their  years  of  growth 
and  development  by  this  pure  natural 
milk.

She  serves  the  best  hot  chocolate  they've  ever 
tasted,  say  friends  of  Mrs.  Van  Winkle 

—and  she  makes  it  with  Libby's  Milk 


NOT  much  perhaps,  but 
something— something 
that  is  refreshing  and  de- 
Hghtful.  This  is  the  demand 
upon  the  hostess  when 
guests  drop  in  at  tea,  time. 

Friends  of  Mrs.  B.  Van 
Winkle  of  San  Francisco 
agree  that  she  has  the  per- 
fect answer  to  the  problem. 
Hot  chocolate !  But  not  or- 
dinary hot  chocolate.  Mrs. 
Van  Winkle's  chocolate  has 
a  richness  and  flavor  unsur- 
passed. And  yet  it's  easily 
made.  She  uses  Libby's 
Milk  in  the  simple  recipe 
given  here. 

Cow's  milk  made 
double  rich 

Libby's  Milk  adds  unusual 
richness  and  flavor  to  choc- 
olate, because  in  every  1  f\ 


ounce  can  there  are  7^2 
teaspoons  of  pure  butter  fat. 

For  it  is  milk  from  select- 
ed herds  in  Humboldt 
County  —  California's  fa- 
mous dairy  section — made 
double  rich  by  evaporating 
more  than  half  the  water 
from  it.  Nothing  is  added 
to  it,  none  of  its  food  values 
taken  away — yoLi  get  it 
pure,  sealed  in  air-tight 
cans  and  sterilized.

Gleason's 
Parliamentary  Digest 

To  Whom  it  may  concern: 

I  have  been  a  close  observer  and  student  of  Glea- 
son's Parliamentary  Digest.  I  have  used  it  since  its 
existance  and  I  consider  it  the  very  best  study-book 
of  its  kind  published. 

It  simplifies  and  makes  easy  a  study  hither-to  con- 
sidered complicated  and  complex,  yet  it  carries  with 
it  all  the  dignity  of  so  important  a  study. 

Therefore  I  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all  who  are 
in  any  way  interested  in  the  study  of  Parliamentary 
Law. 

Mrs.  Eva  Craven  Wheeler,  President  of  Southern 
California  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union.

WORLD  PEACE  OR  WORLD  DESTRUCTION 

WHICH   SHALL  IT  BE? 


By  Elmer  Ellsworth  Helms, 
Pastor  First  Methodist  Episcopal  Church 


A  brief  study  of  war  as  we  now  know  war,  forces 
every  thoughtful  student  to  but  one  conclusion — it's 
either  World  Peace  or  World  Destruction.  There  is 
no  middle  ground.  And  in  our  thinking  there  are 
some  half  dozen  facts  about  war  that  need  ever  to  be 
kept  clearly  before  us. 

We  now  know  there  is  nothing  glorious  about  war 
any  more.  We  used  to  think  there  was.  We  have 
sung  so  much  about  the  glories  of  war,  and  orated, 
that  we  actually  believed  it.  In  childhood,  with  paper 
caps  and  toy  guns  and  tin  pans  for  drums,  we 
marched   hurrahing  for  war. 

One  of  the  first  in  history  to  tell  the  truth,  the 
whole  truth,  about  war  was  the  great  Russian  painter, 
Verestchagin.  He  fought  in  the  Crimean  war  and 
then  went  over  the  battle  field  and  painted  it  as  it 
was.  So  frightful  was  the  skeleton  awfulness  that  the 
Russian  government  tried  to  keep  him  from  exhibiting 
his  pictures  in  Russia,  for  well  did  the  Czar's  gov- 
ernment know  that  when  men  saw  what  a  devil  war 
is  they  would  hurl  it  into  the  bottomless  pit. 

The  first  three  years  of  the  war  Germany  went 
through  Poland,  and  passing  by  the  skeletons  of  men 
and  women,  and  youths  and  maidens,  and  pausing 
only  over  the  children — the  babes  who  died  of  starv- 
ation and  disease  and  want  and  neglect — the  thrifty 
Germans  swept  up,  scooped  up,  the  little  skeletons 
of  six  hundred  thousand  Polish  babes  and  ground 
them  into  fertilizer  to  grow  food  to  feed  more  sol- 
diers to  perpetuate  the  glories  of  war!  No  more 
forever. 

Wars  may  come  and  wars  may  go,  but  no  more  can 
you  persuade  men  that  there  is  anything  glorious 
about  war.  When  General  Sherman  said  war  is  hell, 
we  laughingly  took  that  as  poetic  license.  That  is 
but  a  poor  figure  of  speech. 

Our  two  million  splendid  American  boys,  like  Saul 
of  old,  towered  head  and  shoulders  above  their  fel- 
lows. But  to  take  noble  youths  like  that  and  teach 
them  the  skillful  trick  of  twisting  a  bayonet  into  the 
abdomen  of  an  enemy,  there  is  nothing  glorious  about 
that.  To  take  royal  souled  young  men  and  teach 
them  to  drop  bombs  down  upon  defenseless  towns, 
killing  now  a  baby  nursing  at  its  mother's  breast  and 
now  a  grandmother  with  failing  sight  bending  over 
her  Bible — there  is  nothing  glorious  about  that.  No, 
there  is  nothing  glorious  about  war  any  more. 

War  is  not  a  school  for  virtue  any  more.  We  used 
to  think  it  was.  Bismarck  told  us  war  enkindles  the 
stuff  of  which  men  are  made.  And  we  more  than 
half  believed  it.  Lord  Roberts  said,  "War  is  tonic 
for  the  soul."  And  we  more  than  half  believed  it. 
When  on  that  good  Friday,  1917,  America  decided, 
determined,  as  one  man  to  do  her  part  in  the  saving 
of  civilization  and  the  world,  we  felt  a  strange  soul 
elation  and  elevation,  and  together  we  cried,  "Here 
comes  that  renaissance  of  spiritual  life  for  which  we 
have  long  hoped  and  prayed."  We  now  know  how 
we  were  misled. 

Europe  and  America  are  on  a  far  lower  level  mor- 
ally this  hour  than  they  were  before  the  war,  aye 
for  generations.  The  collapse  of  character  through- 
out Europe  is  unparalleled  in  history,  and  the  crime 
wave  in  America  is  a  moral  monsoon.  Men  cannot 
go  down  into  hell  and  expect  to  come  up  redeemed 
souls.      As   the   editor   of   the    Saturday   Evening   Post 


Dr.  Helms 

said  in  a  recent  editorial,  "Why  should  we  expect 
as  a  sequence  of  the  hell  of  war  a  sweet  camp  meet- 
ing  spirit   of    holiness   to   possess    mankind?" 

And  what  hate  was  born  from  the  womb  of  war? 
Did  nations  ever  hate  one  another  as  they  do  this 
hour?  In  a  recent  editorial  in  the  Los  Angeles  Times 
the  editor  said,  "Can  we  forget  that  all  the  evils  of 
the  war  triumphed?  That  all  the  good  and  the  sacri- 
ficial perished  or  greatly  suffered?  We  have  been 
told  that  war  is  inspiring,  revivifying,  ennobling.  It 
has  proved  just  the  contrary.  Even  the  victories  and 
triumphs  of  the  great  war  are  so  paltry,  so  indecisive, 
so  ineffectual,  so  petty,  for  such  sacrifice  and  cost." 

And  the  final  future  result  on  the  nations — what 
must  it  be?  Ten  million  men,  mostly  young  men 
under  thirty,  died  on  the  battle  field.  As  many  mil- 
lions more  were  maimed,  blinded,  incapacitated  for 
life.  How  were  these  young  men  secured?  Let 
America  answer.  The  broad  net  of  the  draft  gath- 
ered in  all  the  young  men  of  this  primal  age  and 
listed  them.  Then  the  draft  boards  weeded  out  the 
unfit  physically  and  mentally  and  sent  them  back  into 
civil  life  to  propagate  the  race.  In  the  camps  these 
men  were  given  the  sieve  test  and  those  not  up  to 
one  hundred  per  cent  nervously  or  otherwise  were 
discarded.  The  ten  million  who  fell  and  the  other 
millions  who  were  maimed  for  life  were  the  young 
picked,  perfect  fruit  of  the  nations.  Of  all  of  France's 
youths  between  nineteen  and  thirty-one  61  per  cent 
fell  in  battle.  What  can  be  at  the  end  of  such  a  road 
but  racial  decadence  and  decay?

■We  must  disarm  or  die  for  there  is  no  limit  any 
more  to  the  methods  of  killing.  We  used  to  think 
there  was.  War  once  belonged  to  the  realm  of  chiv- 
alry. It  was  refined  dueling.  We  vainly  thought 
ten  years  preceding  the  great  conflagration  that  the 
Hague  Tribunal  had  reduced  war  to  a  sort  of  un- 
refined afternoon  tea.  We  quickly  saw  that  when 
the  monster  war  gets  under  way  all  rules  and  regula- 
tions are  like"  the  seven  green  withes  that  bound  the 
arms  of  Samson,   all   too   easily   and   readily   snapped. 

In  early  ages  men  fought  with  their  fists.  Then 
the  one  side,  to  the  aghast  horror  of  the  other,  one 
day  sallied  forth  with  stone  hatchets.  The  other  side 
protested,  remonstrated.  Stone  hatchets  were  con- 
trary to  the  rules  of  warfare.  Then,  the  other  side 
made  them  stone   hatchets,  only  sharper. 

One  day  one  side  sallied  forth  with  bows  and  ar- 
rows. The  other  side  protested,  remonstrated.  Then 
they  made  them  bows  and  arrows,  only  stronger  and 
swifter  and  with  poisoned  tips. 

Gun  powder  was  invented  and  was  used  for  the 
first  time  in  the  Battle  of  Crecy,  August  26,  1346,  by 
the  English.  And  that  day  nineteen  thousand  Eng- 
lishmen met  sixty  thousand  Frenchmen  and  left  thirty 
thousand  of  them  dead  on  the  field,  including  King 
John  and  eleven  princes.  What  a  protest  went  up  to 
heaven  over  the  barbarous  methods  of  the  cruel  Eng- 
lish. The  English  were  not  fit  to  be  mentioned,  save 
in  the  trinity  of  Huns,  Vandals  and  English,  a  trinity 
diabolical.  But  the  very  next  year  the  French,  the 
Spaniards,  the  Italians,  the  people  of  the  Germanic 
states,  were  all  making  and  using  gun  powder.  And 
if  my  recollection  is  correct,  the  Revolutionary  patri- 
ots used  some  gun  powder  at  Bunker  Hill,  Brandy- 
wine,  Yorktown,  and  my  father  and  yours  used  quite 
some  tons  of  it  from  '60  to  '65.  And  who  protested? 
Who  thought  of  protesting?  Why,  of  course,  every 
one  used  the  latest  and  most  up-to-date  methods  of 
killing,  and  why  not,  pray?  What's  war  for,  if  not 
to  kill? 

Follow  me,  we  are  traveling  toward  the  all  im- 
portant. Four  p.  m.,  April  22,  1915,  is  one  of  the 
dates  of  human  history  never  to  be  forgotten.  At 
that  hour  and  day  and  date  the  Germans  for  the 
first  time  in  the  world's  thousands  of  years  turned 
loose  their  hellish,  damnable,  devil-conceived  chlor- 
ine killing-gas  upon  the  allied  armies  at  Ypres,  with 
what  result  you  know.  Editors  seized  their  pens, 
preachers  leaped  to  their  pulpits,  and  if  there  was 
one  hot  adjective  they  did  not  use  I  know  not  that 
adjective.  But  long  before  the  war  was  done  we  had 
devised,  concocted,  invented,  produced  and  used  gas 
upon  Germans,  Austrians  and  Turks  that  made  Ger- 
many's gas  of  April,  1915,  seem  like  soothing  syrup 
by  comparison.  And  long  before  the  day  of  the 
Armistice  all  nations  were  using  the  most  deadly 
gasses.  Of  course,  certainly,  why  not?  You  have 
gotten  the  point.  The  barriers  are  down.  There 
are  no  limits  to  the  methods  of  killing  any  more. 

Since  the  war  closed,  Mr.  Lewis  of  Cleveland  has 
produced  a  gas  which  is  characterized  by  govern- 
ment experts  as  the  best,  up-to-date,  not  the  worst, 
gas  yet  known.  Best,  why?  Because  it  is  invisible — 
no  one  can  see  it  coming;  because  it  is  the  first  gas 
produced  that  is  heavier  than  air — it  will  creep  down 
into  and  fill  every  dugout  and  hiding  place;  because 
you  don't  have  to  breathe  it  for  in  to  kill  you — if  it 
but  touch  your  skin  at  any  part  it  is  fatal;  be- 
cause in  any  place  where  it  is  used  nothing  will  grow 
for  at  least  seven  years. 

But  General  Swinton  of  the  British  army  says, 
"The  great  future  weapon  of  war  will  be  deadly 
germs.  We  have  since  the  war  discovered  and  de- 
veloped germs  which  dropped  down  upon  cities  and 
armies  will  slaughter  in  a  day  a  nation.  In  the 
future  instead  of  killing  slowly  a  few  individuals  we 


will  be  able  to  wipe  out  whole  nations  at  a  time." 
We  killed  in  the  last  war  ten  million,  maimed  ten 
million  more,  while  still  another  ten  million  civilians 
died  as  a  direct  result.  But  that  is  only,  according  to 
General  Swinton,  a  few  individuals!  With  Lewisite 
gas  or  worse,  yes,  worse,  with  the  new  British  germs 
or  worse,  yes,  worse,  in  the  future  we  will  be  able 
to  do  some  creditable  killing. 

We  thought  the  Civil  War,  in  which  seven  hundred 
thousand  were  killed,  was  some  war.  But  we  were 
able  to  kill  only  seven  hundred  thousand.  We  ought 
to  hang  our  heads  in  blushing  shame.  Just  wait  till 
we  get  at  them  with  the  gas  and  germs  of  tomor- 
row. Yes,  all  barriers  are  now  down.  There  is  no 
limit  to  the  killings  of  the  future.  Can  any  world 
patriot  keep  from  crying  with  all  his  soul,  we  must 
Disarm  or  Die?     There  is  no  choice. 

And  too,  there  is  no  limit)  to  the  cost  of  war  any- 
more. There  used  to  be.  War  was  once  compara- 
tively inexpensive.  The  knights  used  to  sally  forth  at 
their  own  charges.  In  feudal  days  each  feudal  lord 
bore  the  expense  of  his  own  private  wars.  Our  Rev- 
olutionary War,  which  lasted  eight  years — twice  as 
long  as  the  last — cost  only  one  hundred  and  seventy 
million  dollars.  A  big  eight-year  war  for  only  one 
hundred  and  seventy  million  dollars.  That  was  bar- 
gain day  in  wars!  Those  were  the  good  old  days 
when  we  could  get  a  real  war  real  cheap!  The  Na- 
poleonic wars  that  swept  Europe  cost  but  three  mil- 
lion dollars.  Our  Civil  war,  lasting  as  long  as  the 
last,  cost  both  sides  only  seven  billion.  The  great 
world  war  cost  both  sides  directly  one  hundred  and 
eighty-six  billion  dollars.  If  an  earthquake  had  swal- 
lowed the  whole  United  States  it  would  not  have 
destroyed  more  wealth  than  the  world  conflagration. 
The  daily  operating  cost  the  last  year  of  the  war 
was  two  hundred  and  forty  million  dollars;  nearly 
twice  as  much  per  day  as  the  Revolutionary  War 
cost  in  eight  years.  Ten  million  dollars  every  hour 
of  every  day. 

Our  little  part  in  the  war,  and  we  were  only  in  it 
one  year,  seven  months,  five  days,  cost  us,  the  direct 
cost  only,  twenty-four  billion  dollars,  which  was 
nearly  one-half  of  the  entire  cost  of  operating  the 
government  the  first  one  hundred  years  of  our  na- 
tional life.  And  when  in  a  few  years  the  two  and 
a  half  million  men  that  were  in  camps  and  overseas 
demand  a  pension  for  each  it  will  make  the  pensions 
we  have  paid  the  Civil  War  veterans  these  fifty  odd 
years,  five  billion  dollars,  look  like  a  poor  church 
collection.  The  men  are  now  asking  for  a  five  billion 
dollar  bonus.  Who  then  can  prophecy  the  plus  ask- 
ings twenty  years  from  now?  I  am  not  criticising  or 
questioning  any  money  to  be  paid  these  men.  I  am 
just  doing  some  quiet  figuring  to  let  us  see  where 
the  world  is  going  to  be  financially  after  the  next 
war,  which  will  be  a  real  war  instead  of  an  afternoon 
pink  tea,  dress  parade,  toy  cannon  affair,  as  was  the 
last  war. 

A  bit  ago  England  blew  up  one  hundred  and  thir- 
teen obsolete  war  ships.  It  only  takes  from  five  to 
ten  years  to  render  them  obsolete.  Those  war  ships 
would  now  cost  more  than  forty  million  dollars  each. 
That  is  like  taking  four  and  a  half  billion  dollars 
and  making  a  bonfire  of  it.  That  is  only  one  least 
little  item  in  the  vast  category  of  air  planes,  gas, 
tanks,  long  range  guns,  high  explosives,  ships  in- 
numerable, armies  uncountable,  world-wide  cam- 
paigns, lamed,  maimed,  blinded. 

Up  to  this  hour  our  war  burdens,  compared  to  all 
of  the  nations  engaged  in  the  great  struggle,  have 
been  inconsequential,  yet  ninety-three  per  cent  of 
every  dollar  paid  to  the  national  government  goes  for 
wars — past,  present  or  future.     Ninety-three  per  cent

The  CLUBfVOMAN 


EBELL  CLUB 

Armistice  Day  Message  Given  to  Ebell  Members  by  Mrs.   A.  Bennett   Cook,   One   of   the  Board   of  Directors 
THE   REBUILDING    OF   THE   LIBRARY    OF   LOUVAIN 


We  all  remember  the  wave  of  horror  that  ran 
through  the  civilized  world  when  we  learned  that 
the  Germans  had  set  fire  to  the  Library  of  Louvain. 
The  Germans  who  up  to  that  fatal  August  day  in 
1914  had  stood  in  our  minds  as  the  last  word  in 
science,  in  literature,  in  music,  in  research  work  of 
all  kinds — that  these  same  Germans,  during  a  peace- 
ful occupation  of  the  city,  in  the  midst  of  an  unarmed 
citizenry,  had  deliberately  set  fire  to  the  greatest 
research  library  in  the  world,  and  had  as  delib- 
erately drawn  a  cordon  of  soldiers  around  the  burn- 
ing building  to  prevent  the  frantic  Belgians  from 
rushing  in  to  save  their  precious  books  and  manu- 
scripts from  the  devouring  flames. 

Many  of  us  remember  this  building — one  of  the 
best  examples  of  mediaeval  architecture  in  Europe. 
Finished  in  1345,  it  stood  as  a  monument  to  the 
Guilds  which  at  that  time  were  at  the  height  of  their 
power.  Built  by  the  Weavers'  Guild  as  their  hall 
and  market,  it  always  retanied  the  name — Cloth 
Market — even  after  the  entre  building  had  been 
given  over  to  the  library.  At  first,  as  the  weavers 
found  other  ways  to  market  their  goods,  one  floor 
was  given  to  the  University  ft)r  its  books.  Other 
floors  were  added  later,  until  finally  the  entire  build- 
ing, which  was  added  to  in  the  eighteenth  century, 
was  given  over  to  books,  but  it  always  kept  the  old 
name. 

Apologists  among  the  Germans  have  written  arti- 
cles asserting  that  many  van  loads  of  the  books  were 
carted  away  to  a  place  of  safety  before  the  building 
was  burned.  The  Treaty  of  Versailles  stipulated  that 
the  German  reparation  to  Louvain  should  be  10,000 
books  a  month,  that  these  books  should  pass  the  cen- 
sorship of  a  committee  headed  by  the  President  of 
the  University  with  King  Albert  as  the  final  word. 
The  libraries  of  Heidelberg,  of  Bonne,  of  Leipsig,  of 
Jena  and  many  others  have  been  combed  for  suitable 
books,  but  though  five  years  have  passed  since  the 
Armistice,  no  books  of  the  Louvain  collection  have 
ever  been  found.  As  the  vicinity  at  that  time  was 
covered  with  charred  and  half  burned  leaves  of 
manuscripts  and  books,  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose 
they  were  all  burned. 

A  blow,  not  at  Belgium,   but   at  Civilization   itself! 

When  Cardinal  Mercier  came  to  America  to  bring 
the  thanks  of  the  Belgians  for  America's  help  in  the 
war,  some  of  his  admirers  asked  what  they  could  do 
for  him  personally.  He  answered,  "Nothing  for  me. 
Help  rebuild  the  Louvain  library.  Immediately  an 
American  committee  was  formed  to  work  with  the 
European  committee  headed  by  M.  de  la  Tour,  Presi- 
dent of  the  French  Institute.  Dr.  Nicholas  Murray, 
President  of  Columbia  University,  was  made  chair- 
man, and  such  men  as  J.  P.  Morgan,  Thomas  W. 
Lamont,  Eugene  H.  Oughterbridge  and  other  finan- 
ciers formed  the  personnel  of  the  committee. 

This  group  of  men  decided  to  take  over  the  entire 
rebuilding  of  the  library  on  behalf  of  the  American 
people,  and  themselves  personally  bought  the  site — 
one  of  the  most  commanding  in  Louvain — at  a  cost 
of  $1,160,000. 

It  is  true,  they  could  among  themselves  have  given 
the  entire  amount,  but  the  Cardinal  and  King  Albert 
said:  "We  would  rather  have  the  dimes  of  the  man 
in  the  street  than  the  dollars  of  a  few  rich  friends. 
We  want  the  library  to  be  built  by  our  friends — the 
American  people." 


The  architect,  Mr.  Warren  Whitney  of  New  York, 
was  chosen  by  the  European  committee  and  his  plans 
for  the  building  will  involve  an  outlay  of  one  mil- 
lion dollars.  The  corner-stone  was  laid  in  July, 
1921,  with  King,  Albert,  Cardinal  Mercier,  and  Dr. 
Nicholas  Murray  Butler  officiating. 

Dr.  Butler  said  in  part:  "We  hope  this  splendid 
building  will  rise,  like  the  phoenix,  from  its  splen- 
did ashes  to  bear  witness  to  the  unbreakable  bonds 
that  bind  America  to  Belgium,  to  France,  to  Great 
Britain  and  to  their  allies." 

It  is  hoped  the  building  can  be  finished  n  1925, 
the  five  hundredth  anniversary  of  Louvain  Univer- 
sity. The  design  is  a  beautiful  example  of  twentieth 
century  architecture.  It  has  a  facade  two  hundred 
and  twenty  feet  long,  a  beautiful  arcade  of  seven- 
teen arches  and  a  lovely  campanille  which  will  con- 
tain a  chime  of  bells  which  will  ring  out  daily  to 
the  Belgians  the  love  and  appreciation  of  their 
friends — the  American  people.  It  will  have  a  capacity 
of  two  million  books  and  will  again  take  its  place  as 
the  great  research  library  of  Europe. 

The  six  hundred  and  forty  colleges  and  universi- 
ties of  America  are  all  helping  to  do  their  part  and 
the  women's  clubs  are  enlisted  under  the  leadership 
of  Mrs.  Percy  V.  Pennybacker,  former  President  of 
the  General  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  with  such 
women  as  Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Winter,  Mrs.  Carrie 
Chapman  Catt,  Mrs.  Phillip  N.  Moore,  Mrs.  Charles 
Evans  Hughes,  Mrs.  Mary  Roberts  Rinehart  and 
many  other  well-known  women  on  the  committee. 

Up  to  the  present  time,  $300,000  has  been  sub- 
scribed towards  the  $1,000,000  necessary  and  the 
lower  story  is  nearing  completion. 

During  the  coming  fall  and  winter,  Mrs.  Penny- 
backer  plans  a  systematic,  nation-wide  campaign  for 
the  purpose  of  raising  the  full  amount.  The  Ameri- 
can Association  of  University  Women  is  endeaevoring 
to  give  a  room  as  its  contribution,  which  will  mean  a 
gift  of  $100,000.  The  New  York  State  Federation 
has  pledged  itself  to  build  one  of  the  large  central 
pillars.  It  is  hoped  other  organizations  will  assume 
other  definite  memorials. 

To  use  Mrs.  Pennybacker's  words:  "Through  count- 
less memorial  tablets,  windows  and  inscriptions,  the 
library  will  be  the  speaking  history  of  our  part  in 
the  World  War,  the  only  such  monument  in  Europe. 
The  name  of  every  college,  school  and  club  will  be 
inscribed  on  the  Roll  of  Honor  in  the  great  hall  of 
the   library. 

As  France  gave  to  America  the  Statue  of  Liberty 
in  tribute  to  our  services  to  world  freedom  in  the 
Revolutionary  War,  so  let  us  give  to  Belgium  the 
Louvain  library  in  gratitude  for  the  inspiration  which 
her  heroic  defence  of  liberty  in  the  World  War  has 
been  to  all  mankind." 

I  am  bringing  this  message  to  Ebell  on  this  Armis- 
tice Day  as  it  is  being  brought  to  thousands  and 
thousands  of  women  in  clubs  all  over  this  country  and 
I  will  end  with  Edna  Jacques'  poem: 

"We  have  kept  the  faith,  ye  Flanders'  dead, 

Sleep  well  beneath  those  poppies  red. 

That  mark  your  place. 

The  torch  your  dying  hands  did  throw 

We've  held  it  high  before  the  foe. 

And  answered  bitter  blow  for  blow. 
In  Flanders  fields. 
"And  where  your  heroes'  blood  was  spilled, 

The  guns  are  now  forever  stilled.

THE  work  of  an  electric  lineman 
places  him  in  situations  that  would 
be  dangerous  to  an  untrained  or 
careless  ■worker.  Los  Angeles  Gas  and 
Electric  Corporation  takes  the  utmost  of 
pains  to  see  that  its  linemen  are  in- 
structed and  equipped  so  that  they  can 
guard  against  the  hazards  of  their  calling. 
In  the  matter  of  rubber  gloves,  for  ex- 
ample: 

EACH  lineman  has  issued  to  him  two 
bags  of  rubber  gloves,  containing 
several  pairs  each,  for  w^ear  w^hen 
handling  "live"  w^ires.  The  lineman  has 
possession  of  one  of  the  bags  of  gloves 
one  vireek  and  the  other  one  the  next 
w^eek.  During  the  w^eek  v/hen  the  gloves 
are    not   in   service    they   are    brought   into 


the  Electric  Shop  and  tested  for  defects 
under  the  direct  supervision  of  Mr.  E.  C. 
Taylor,  Assistant  Superintendent  of  the 
department. 

THE  gloves  are  filled  with  water  and 
suspended  in  a  tank  of  water.  The 
test  is  then  made  by  applying  a 
charge  of  5,000  to  10,000  volts  to  the 
liquid  surrounding  and  filling  the  gloves. 
If  there  is  any  defect  present,  the  electric 
charge  will  discover  it  and  the  glove  will 
be  thrown   away. 

SAFETY  for  its  employees  and  service 
to  the  public  are  matters  of  first  con- 
cern  to   the   management   of  Los   An-

for  war,  seven  per  cent  for  internal  improvements. 
Reverse  these  figures  just  for  ten  years  and  see  the 
fine  macadamized  roads  netting  America  everywhere, 
see  the  great  harbors  opened,  improved,  maintained, 
the  great  needed  public  buildings,  the  vast  irrigating 
projects.  We  would  literally  turn  the  whole  Amer- 
ican desert  into  a  blossoming  valley,  for  all  that's 
needed  to  do  that  is  water,  and  all  that's  needed  to 
supply  the  water  is  money — think  of  the  swamps  re- 
claimed, the  educational  work  so  sorely  needed,  done 
— why,  fellow  Americans,  there  is  no  limit  to  Amer- 
ica's tomorrow  if  we  will  turn  ninety-three  per  cent 
of  our  resources  into  production  instead  of  destruc- 
tion. You  cannot  have  these  above  listed,  which 
means  civilization,  and  war  at  one  and  the  same  time 
long.     Disarm  or  Die. 

And  too,  there  is  no  limit  as  to  those  who  will  be 
directly  involved  in  the  next  war.  The  last  year  of 
the  war  thirty-nine  different  nations  were  in  an 
actual  state  of  war.  The  next  war  will  suck  in,  as  a 
monster  maelstrom,  not  only  every  nation  but  every 
person. 

The  last  war  the  national  government  announced 
that  on  a  certain  day  all  men  between  certain  ages 
would  enroll  and  thereafter  be  subject  to  call,  and 
ten  million  young  men  marched  to  the  enrolling  sta- 
tions and  without  resistance  answered  "Here."  That 
is  the  beginning  of  the  end  and  foreshadows  the  next 
great  war's  method.  In  the  last  war  the  women  were 
everywhere  helping.  In  the  next — mark  j'ou  well — 
the  woman  will  be  conscripted  to  make  the  munitions, 
man  the  factories,   till   the  fields. 

And  with  Lewisite  gas,  British  germs,  and  worse, 
yes,  worse,  for  if  two  years  after  the  war  science 
can  produce  those,  what  will  science  not  do  in  ten 
years?  On  October  20,  the  Government  announced 
the  completion  of  the  American  armored  airplane 
with  its  thirty  machine  guns  firing  45,000  shots  a 
minute  and  equipped  with  3,000  rounds  of  ammuni- 
tion. It  is  officially  stated  that  army  men  recognize 
this  as  an  almost  unbelievable  advance  in  offensive 
weapons.  With  its  400  horse  power  Liberty  motor, 
attaining  a  speed  of  150  miles  an  hour,  carrying  130 
gallons  of  gasoline,  its  radius  of  action  is  more  than 
400  miles  from  its  supply  base.  All  vulnerable  parts 
and  crew  are  protected  by  steel  armor  which  will  re- 
sist machine  gun  bullets  at  any  range.  The  Govern- 
ment announces  that  the  completion  of  this  new  air- 
plane has  been  eagerly  awaited  by  military  experts 
and  that  a  fleet  of  these  can  wipe  out  whole  armies 
or  civil  populations  in  a  single  attack.  With  all  these 
enginries  of  death  and  the  one  hundred  fold  worse — 
or  is  it  better?  where  is  there  a  babe  nursing  at  its 
mother's  breast,  aged  grandmother  with  feeble  step, 
that  will  not  be  slaughtered?  It  will  be  the  slaughter 
of  the  innocents,  indeed.  Combatants  will  go  about 
as  cheerfully  killing  babes  in  the  next  war  as  in  the 
last  war  they  went  about  killing  each  other.  The 
program  of  the  next  war  will  be  for  one  whole  popu- 


THE   SOUTH   SIDE   EBELL 

By  Mrs.  Ednuin   W.  Finley,  Press   Chairman 

Thinking  over  the  club  plans  for  the  coming  club 
year,  it  does  seem  with  the  gathering  of  funds  for  a 
new  and  permanent  home  for  our  club,  we  would 
have  little  time  for  any  other  activity.  Many  parts 
of  the  work,  however,  are  carried  on  along  the  same 
lines  as  of  former  years,  which  adds  much  help  to  a 
full  program,  but  we  have  added  "Service"  to  our 
slogan,  and  get  a  lot  of  joy  from  its  addition.  It  be- 
ing generally  known  that  those  who  "serve"  and  serve 
well,  when  called  upon  to  lead,  will  be  able  to  answer 
the  roll  call  "here." 

The  South  Side  Ebel!  Club  is  now  in  its  ninth  year 
with  the  membership  steadily  growing  and  the  inter- 
est that  is  manifest,  shows  what  a  good  work  is  be- 
ing carried  on.  Thursday  will  be  "Guest  Day,"  and 
a  special  program  has  been  prepared  for  this  occasion 
by  the  Drama  Section.  The  sections  now  number 
seven,  each  functioning  perfectly  with  the  main  body.. 

The  Orthopedic  Section  under  their  curator,  Mrs. 
George  Salm,  past  president,  is  caring  for  two  crip- 
pled children,  and  another  has  been  discharged  as 
cured.  The  children  at  the  General  Hospital  are 
remembered  as  well  by  them. 

It  is  generally  said  that  the  Social  Service  curator 
has  only  one  hobby,  and  that  is  doing  for  the  old 
folks  at  the  County  Farm.  Just  now  this  section  is 
busy  gathering  jelly  for  her  to  take  to  them  Thanks- 
giving. They  are  sewing  and  making,  dolls  too,  for 
Christmas,  for  the  hospital  children  when  not  asking 
about  jelly  and  jams. 

The  Music  Section  is  doing  good  work  under  their 
able  director.  A  Thanksgiving  chorus  will  be  sung 
by  this  section,  and  music  in  general  will  be  studied 
during  the  year.  Another  and  a  most  worthy  cause 
carried  on  in  the  club  is  the  education  along  the  lines 
of  permanent  peace.  If  war  is  to  end  for  all  time, 
education  will  be  the  prime  factor,  and  until  it  is 
made  an  issue,  and  the  women  get  down  to  the  fund- 
amentals, "Make  the  world  safe  by  education,"  we 
will  continue  to  have  misunderstandings.  What  we 
are  asking  and  working  for,  both  in  club  and  foreign 
field  is  understanding.  These  are  some  of  the  club 
activities  for  the  year. 

Besides  the  more  serious  things,  there  will  be  the 
usual  club  parties,  also  the  cards  and  dancing  parties 
held  at  regular  intervals  in  the  year.  Keeping  fore- 
most in  our  minds  all  the  time  our  slogan  "Service."

THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

THOUGHTS   BY   THE   WAY 
By  Sarah  M.  Johnson,  Press   Chairman 


When  one  undertakes  a  long  journey  the  start  is 
usually  made  with  a  goodly  stock  of  courage  and 
patience  wherewith  to  meet  the  slowly  passing  hours, 
but  once  the  end  draws  near,  the  goal  is  in  sight, 
patience  takes  to  itself  wings  and  then  every  hour 
that  separates  one  from  the  journey's  end  becomes  a 
burden  grievously  to  be  borne. 

More  than  a  year  ago  the  Friday  Morning  Club 
started  on  the  long  road  that  leads  to  a  new  club 
home.  Blithe  and  debonnair,  we  devoted  ourselves 
assiduously  to  the  study  of  blue  prints  and  later  to 
specifications,  waiting  with  stout  hearts  to  see  the 
vision  rise  in  plaster  and  stone.  But  now  when  we 
have  glimpsed  it,  though  still  not  ours  to  enjoy,  we 
travel  less  patiently;  we  long  to  hurry  the  slow  hours 
that  separate  us  from  the  day  of  consummation,  the 
glad  day  when  we  shall  enter  in  and  possess  our 
kingdom.  However,  the  thrill  of  that  day  is  already 
felt,  for  who  of  us  had  imagination  enough  to  find 
this  thing  of  beauty  hidden  in  the  symbolism  of  blue 
print  and  specification!  It  seems  nothing  less  than 
magic.  Truly  we  have  builded  better  than  we  knew. 
It  makes  us  proud,  and — it  makes  us  humble. 

May  it  not  be  well  for  us  to  take  the  last  slow  steps 
of  the  way  in  a  spirit  of  humble  contemplation?  May 
we  not  do  well  to  ask  ourselves  again:  To  what  end 
have  we  labored?  What  is  the  real  significance  of 
the  structure  we  have  raised? 

We  have  already  dedicated  this  noble  edifice  to 
the  highest  human  welfare;  but  what  of  ourselves, 
to  what  have  we  dedicated  our  services,  our  lives? 

Recently  Mrs.  Winter,  the  chosen  leader  of  all 
club  women,  spoke  to  us  on  "This  Changing  World." 
She  enabled  us  to  see  in  vivid,  historical  perspective 
the  age-long  struggle  of  womanhood,  a  struggle 
toward  freedom,  toward  the  possibility  of  an  ever- 
widening  horizon  for  every  woman.  We  saw  plainly 
that  this  struggle  was  both  a  conscious  and  an  uncon- 
scious one.  In  the  main,  the  brilliant  women  of  each 
epoch  who  led  the  onward  march  were  insensible  of 
the  stride  they  were  taking;  unconscious  that  they 
were  smoothing  the  rough  places  for  all  women.    But 


we,  the  inheritors  of  all  that  has  been  so  hardly  won, 
are  living  in  a  vastly  different  age,  a  self-conscious 
one;  and  although  doubtless  more  than  we  dream  is 
still  taking  place  in  the  realm  of  the  unconscious,  we 
are  nevertheless,  keenly  aware  of  our  present  respons- 
ibilities and  the  field  of  our  efforts  is  clearly  defined 
for  us. 

The  General  Federation  has  asked  us  to  devote 
ourselves  this  year  to  the  great  problem  of  World 
Peace.  What  are  we  doing  with  it?  Any  amount  of 
wishful  thinking  will  avail  naught.  Only  knowledge, 
knowledge,  and  more  knowledge  will  get  us  any- 
where. Not  information,  but  the  knowledge  which  is 
understanding;  knowledge  which  may  shatter  our 
idols,  may  strew  our  path  with  lost  illusions  but  will 
make  us  clear-eyed  and  far  of  vision.  Only  such 
knowledge  will  disclose  the  nature  of  the  gigantic 
struggle  which  mankind  is  now  facing.  On  the  one 
hand  age-old  ignorance  and  greed,  the  powers  of 
darkness;  on  the  other  intelligence,  the  beginning  of 
a  new  consciousness  for  man,  the  powers  of  light. 
Let  us  beware  let  in  our  mistaken  zeal  we  give  com- 
fort and  aid  to  the  enemy. 

Clear,  intelligent,  directed  thinking  must  be  ours, 
and  we  must  have  leaders.  We  must  prove  the  worth 
of  organization — of  solidarity. 

And  when  at  last,  finished  and  furnished,  the  hos- 
pitable doors  of  the  new  Friday  Morning  Club  are 
thrown  open  to  the  club  women  of  America,  let  us 
find  ourselves  new  and  renewed  in  spirit! 

If  we  were  asked  to  bring  our  gifts  and  were  free 
to  choose,  I  should  rub  the  magic  lamp  and  see  at 
once  transported  the  fine  old  clock  I  saw  many  years 
ago  in  an  English  inn.  The  inn,  by  the  way,  made 
famous  in  Cranford.  The  very  inn  where  the  dance 
was  held.  This  clock  should  stand  in  such  a  spot 
in  the  new  clubhouse  that  all  who  entered  might  pass 
by  it,  and  when  they  stopped  to  remark  its  beauty 
they  could  not  fail  to  read  the  inscription  carved 
around  its  face:  "So  teach  us  to  number  our  days 
that  we  may  apply  our  hearts  unto  wisdom." 


THE  CALIFORNIA 

BADGER  CLUB 

By  Elizabeth  Baker  Bohan 


Last  June  the  California  Badger  Club  celebrated 
its  coming  of  age,  its  twenty-first  birthday,  for  it 
had  its  inception  in  1902,  the  occasion  being  the  as- 
sembling in  Los  Angeles  of  the  Sixth  Biennial  of  the 
Federation  of  Women's  Clubs.  . 

Mrs.  W.  T.  Lewis,  at  that  time  president  of  the 
Ebell  Club,  called  the  women  of  Wisconsin  together  to 
receive  the  Wisconsin  delegates.  When  the  conven- 
tion was  over,  those  who  had  responded  decided  to 
form  themselves  into  a  permanent  organization,  and 
from  that  time  on  the  California  Badger  Club  has 
convened  on  the  first  Wednesday  of  every  month  for 
social   and  philanthropic  work. 

The  club  meets  in  the  lovely  auditorium  of  the 
McDowell  Club  of  Allied  Arts.  Its  reciprocity  meet- 
ing was  held  on  the  seventh  of  November,  and  thirty 
outside  clubs  were  represented.  A  delightful  program 
was  given  by  the  Sara  Jane  Simmons  Concert  Com- 
pany of  Long  Beach. 


The  Badger  Club  is  not  large  except  in  its  phil- 
anthropic activities.  It  has  furnished  a  room  in 
the  Orthopedic  Hospital,  adopted  a  crippled  child  ;  it 
has  given  generously  to  the  McKinley  Boys'  Home  in 
the  form  of  beds  and  other  furnishings;  it  paid  for 
the  chapel  bell,  and  has  always  sent  a  Christmas  gift. 
It  has  contributed  to  so  many  good  undertakings,  and 
has  helped  so  many  people,  temporarily  embarrassed, 
over  hard  places  that  there  is  no  space  to  enumerate 
them.  It  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  prison  reform 
work  and  has  tried  for  years  with  voice  and  pen  for 
better  quarters  and  more  humane  treatment  for  pris- 
oners. 

The  Badger  Club  is  not  self-centered,  but  has  a 
forward  and  outward  look.  The  president,  Mrs. 
C.  M.  Neely,  has  just  entered  her  second  year  of  serv- 
ice, and  that  service  is  the  best  ever.  The  club  has 
a  membership  that  is  proud  of  its  old  home,  Wiscon- 
sin, and  deeply  in  love  with  California.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  WOMAN'S  CLUB   OF   HOLLYWOOD 

ITS    ACTIVITIES    DURING    NOVEMBER 
By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  Chairman 


"  'Tis  the  Mind  That  Makes  the  Body  Rich,"  is  the 
motto  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood.  Just  how 
closely  the  club  cleaves  to  this,  its  guiding  principle, 
with  its  President,  Mrs.  John  F.  Mead,  as  guiding 
star,  may  be  judged  by  a  review  of  its  activities  dur- 
ing the  month  just  passed. 

The  regular  Wednesday  luncheons  were  held  re- 
spectively by  the  Literature,  Public  Affairs,  Art,  and 
Drama  Sections.  Club  members  gave  book  reviews 
at  the  Literature  Luncheon.  Mrs.  Lorin  B.  Curtis 
reviewed  "Rough  Hewn"  and  "Raw  Material,"  two 
of  Dorothy  Canfield's  new  books.  Mrs.  C.  J.  Shep- 
herd read  Mrs.  Gladys  J.  Rosse's  review  of  "Deep 
Channel"  by  Margaret  Prescott  Montague.  Mrs. 
Edward  Winterer  reviewed  Edith  Wharton's  "A  Son 
at  the  Front"  and  Mrs.  W.  T.  S.  Hammond  reviewed 
Sidney  L.  Gulick's  "A  Christian  Crusade  for  a  War- 
less  World." 

Rex  B.  Goodcell,  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue, 
was  speaker  at  the  Public  Affairs  Luncheon,  with 
Mrs.  George  L.  Eastman  presiding.  Mr.  Goodcell 
chose  "Good  Citizenship"  as  his  topic.  Mrs.  H.  G. 
Redwine  discussed   "International  Relations." 

The  Art  Section  held  forth  on  the  third  Wednesday 
with  Mrs.  Gavin  Witherspoon,  Department  Chair- 
man, presiding.  B.  Northcott  Helph,  a  former  stu- 
dent of  Alva  Parsons  in  New  York,  who  is  in  Los 
Angeles  now,  advising  on  the  decorating  and  fur- 
nishing of  homes,  spoke  on  "Art  in  the  Home."  Alma 
May  Cook,  staff  lecturer  at  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia, discussed  "Egypt — What  She  Gives  to  Art." 

"Significant  One-Act  Plays"  was  the  topic  chosen 
by  Mrs.  W.  W.  Comstock  (Miss  Beulah  Wright)  for 
her  address  at  the  Drama  Luncheon  on  the  fourth 
Wednesday.  Mrs.  Comstock  was  formerly  Dean  of 
the  College  of  Oratory  at  the  University  of  Southern 
California.  Mrs.  Ingle  Carpenter,  as  Chairman  of 
Department,  presided. 

There  were  three  Friday  luncheons  last  month. 
The  new  and  very  successful  Home  Economics  De- 
partment, with  Mrs.  Lowell  C.  Frost  in  charge,  held 
the  first.  Dr.  Helene  B.  Thompson,  Director  of  Home 
Economics  for  the  University  of  Southern  California, 
discussed  "Women  and  Work." 

The  French  Department,  with  Mrs.  Prescott  Ste- 
vens presiding,  gave  the  first  luncheon  in  its  history 
on  November  9th.  H.  L.  Goumaz  de  Prevons,  who 
conducts  the  French  classes  at  the  club,  spoke  about 
"Moliere — His  Work  and  Place  in  the  World's  Lit- 
erature," and  Mme.  Noble  Franke,  a  French  actress, 
assisted  Mr.  Goumaz  in  some  readings  from  Moliere. 

Mrs.  Susan  M.  Dorsey,  City  Superintendent  of  Los 
Angeles  Schools,  and  only  woman  in  the  United  States 
at  the  head  of  such  a  large  school  system,  was  speaker 
at  the  Educational  Section  Luncheon  on  November 
23rd.  Mrs.  Dorsey  discussed  "Educational  Ideals  in 
the  City  Schools."  Dean  Charles  H.  Rieber  of  the 
Southern  Branch  of  the  University  of  California,  was 
another  speaker  and  Miss  Bertha  Green,  vice-princi- 
pal of  the  Hollywood  High  School,  presided. 

Besides  the  luncheon  programs,  there  were  the  reg- 
ular afternoon  programs  arranged  by  Mrs.  Orville  L. 
Routt.  Hermione  Schwed,  Field  Secretary  and  Lec- 
turere  of  the  National  Association  for  Constitutional 
Government,  at  Washington,  D.  C,  lectured  on  "Per- 
.  ils  of  the  Republic."  The  Orpheus  Four,  official  quar- 
tet of  the  Orpheus  Club  of  Los  Angeles,  gave  a 
musicale.  Helen  E.  Haines,  an  instructor  in  the  Los 
Angeles  Library  School,  lectured  on  "Types  and  Ten- 
dencies in  Modern  Fiction."  Dr.  H.  K.  Booth,  pastor 
of   the   First    Congregational    Church   in   Long  Beach, 


who  is  now  in  the  midst  of  a  campaign  for  the  re- 
gaining of  the  rights  of  the  American  Indian,  lec- 
tured on  "America  and  the  First  Americans." 

The  study  and  discussion  classes — Spanish,  French, 
English,  Shakespeare,  Browning  and  Choral — had 
their  usual  meetings.  The  Music  Section  presented 
two  programs,  one  of  Italian  music  and  one  of  French. 
The  Bible  section  had  two  meetings  given  by  Carl  S. 
Knopf,  Assistant  Professor  of  Biblical  Literature  at 
the  University  of  Southern  California.  At  the  first 
meeting.  Dr.  Knopf  chose  as  his  subject  "Isaiah — In- 
ternationalism and  National  Integrity."  At  the  sec- 
ond meeting,  he  discussed  "Jeremiah — Diplomacy, 
Treaty  Relations,  and  National  Honesty." 

The  Junior  Auxiliary  continued  their  regular  work, 
which  just  now  is  mostly  preparation  for  their  Christ- 
mas parties.  They  held  their  second  dance  of  the 
season  on  Thanksgiving  Eve  and  the  money  they 
made  was  added  to  their  fund  for  philanthropy. 

Despite  its  earnest  educational  work,  the  Woman's 
Club  of  Hollywood  finds  lots  of  time  to  be  gay.  Wit- 
ness the  most  successful  County  Fair  conducted  on 
November  16th  with  Mrs.  Ernest  A.  Heyn  in  charge. 
None  of  the  features  of  the  old  time  county  fairs  was 
lacking  and  many  new  ones  were  added.  For  example, 
a  cafeteria  supper  was  served  to  over  five  hundred 
people.  A  fashion  show,  half  antique  costumes  dat- 
ing as  far  back  as  two  hundred  years  ago  and  half 
the  most  modern  of  styles,  was  shown  in  the  large 
auditorium.  There  were  booths — aprons,  surprise 
packages,  candy,  ice  cream,  cider,  a  fish  pond,  an 
exhibition  of  marvelous  and  valuable  antiques,  a  for- 
tune  teller,    and    an   organ   grinder   with   his   monkey. 


The  FEELING 
of  SECURITY 

is  manifested  with  the  purchase  of  Furniture 
or  Mattresses  made  by  Bailey  Schmitz  Co. 
Confidence  gained  in  this  way  is  lasting  and 
is    responsible    for    our    32    years    in    business.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  WOMEN'S  UNIVERSITY  CLUB 

By  Katherine  Carr,  Press  Chairman 


The  Women's  University  Club  has  begun  what 
promises  to  be  the  most  acdve  year  in  its  career.  It 
has  purchased  the  home  of  the  late  Judge  Trippet,  at 
942  South  Hoover  S.reet  as  a  club  house  and  hopes 
to  raise  the  entire  purchase  price  of  $50,000  during 
the  year. 

To  finance  the  proposition  an  entirely  new  scheme 
is  being  tried.  Two  hundred  fifty  life  memberships 
are  to  be  sold  at  $250  each;  $50,000  of  the  $62,000 
which  will  be  raised  in  this  way  will  be  used  to  pay 
for  the  building  and  the  other  $12,000  for  the  furni- 
ture. To  enable  every  member  who  feels  real  loy- 
alty for  the  club  to  buy  one  of  these  memberships  they 
may  be  paid  for  on  the  installment  plan,  $50  Decem- 
ber 1,  $50  February  1,  $50  June  1,  1924,  $50  Novem- 
ber 1,  1924  and  the  last  $50  March  1,  1925.  The  sura 
is  sufficient,  not  only  to  pay  for  the  property  and 
furniture,  but  to  provide  for  the  carrying  charge  until 
memberships  are  completely  paid  for  under  the  in- 
stallment plan  outlined,  and  will  leave  a  small  sur- 
plus to  provide  the  barest  necessities  in  furnishing 
the  house. 

The  life  membership  plan  has  many  distinct  ad- 
vantages. Besides  relieving  the  member  from  all 
dues  and  protecting  her  against  any  raising  of  dues 
that  will  probably  come  when  the  club  has  more  to 
offer  than  it  has  at  present,  the  plan  obviates  the 
necessity  of  raising  money  by  entertainments,  card 
parties  and  other  forms  of  charity-begging,  which 
waste  the  energies  and  probably  cost  more  in  money 
to  the  members  than  the  plan  proposed. 

The  plan  has  been  enthusiastically  received.  As  a 
result  of  the  November  meeting  more  than  40  mem- 
berships were  taken.  The  plan  is  still  new  to  the 
club  and  a  large  majority  of  the  members  have  not 
heretofore  heard  of  it.  The  committee  feels  sure  that 
all  of  the  available  memberships  will  be  subscribed 
for  within  a  very  short  time.  It  is  hoped  that  all  of 
them  will  be  taken  by  December  1  and  when  250  are 
sold  it  will  be  the  policy  of  the  club  to  sell  no  more 
for  at  least  five  years. 

The  Trippet  house  has  many  advantages  for  this 
club  as  it  is  so  arranged  down  stairs  that  it  can  ac- 
commodate an  audience  of  several  hundred  and  thus 
can  be  used  for  the  present  without  alteration.  There 
are  five  or  six  bedrooms,  besides  those  which  will  be 
necessary  for  the  help,  which  may  be  rented  to  mem- 
bers of  the  club.  There  are  four  baths  in  the  house 
and  several  small  down  stairs  rooms  which  may  be 
rented  for  small  card  parties,  luncheons  and  other 
entertainments.  The  lot  is  92  by  over  200  feet  in 
depth  and  there  is  room  for  a  large  auditorium  in 
the  back  if  the  need  arises  for  a  larger  assembly 
room  than  the  four  large  rooms  down  stairs  at  pres- 
ent provide.     There   is   a  three-machine   garage   also. 

The  club  expects  to  come  into  possession  of  the 
property  about  January  1  and  it  is  hoped  that  the 
regular  New  Years  Jinks  may  be  given  in  the  new 
house. 

Members  of  the  building  committee  who  have  put 
the  proposition  over  are:  Mrs.  Birney  Donnell,  Mrs. 
Curtis  De  Garme,  Mrs.  A.  M.  Marsh,  Mrs.  Michael 
J.  Craemer,  Miss  Ellen  Andrews,  Mrs.  Nan  Mumford. 

The  club  has  also  started  this  year  geographical 
teas  in  various  parts  of  the  city  to  promote  socia- 
bility among  the  members  living  in  that  particular 
section.  There  are  nine  different  branches  whose 
chairmen  are  :  Mrs.  A.  M.  Marsh  for  the  Hollywood 
and  Beverly  Hills  sections,  Mrs.  Helen  L.  Moore  for 
the  East  Hollywood  district,  Mrs.  George  Curtis  De 
Garme   843    S.   Catalina,   Mrs.   John   V.   Barrow,   1826 


Cimarron,  Mrs.  Robert  W.  Preudfit,  1175  W.  29th 
St.,  Mrs.  J.  A.  Garrett,  1420  Alvarado  Terrace,  Mrs. 
R.  D.  Andrews,  San  Gabriel  and  Pasadena,  Miss 
Jane  Spaulding,  134  N.  Gates  Avenue,  Mrs.  George 
D.  Jennings  of  Covina  for  the  country  between  Pasa- 
dena  and   San  Bernardino. 

One  of  the  activities  of  the  club  is  a  flourishing 
book  section  whose  chairman  is  Miss  Nancy  Foster. 
It  meets  once  in  two  weeks  and  its  members  have 
the  opportunity  to  meet  many  of  local  and  visiting 
literary  celebrities. 

Another  activity  is  the  maintaining  of  three  schol- 
arships for  worthy  girls  at  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia. The  club  is  also  active  in  Americanization 
work  which  it  started  in  the  city  several  years  ago 
before  it  was  part  of  the  public  school  system,  by 
hiring  and  paying  the  salary  of  a  home  teacher. 

The  vocational  bureau  work  which  has  been  taken 
over  by  the  Vocation  bureau  of  the  allied  women's 
clubs  of  the  city  was  started  by  the  Women's  Uni- 
versity four  or  five  years  ago.  Another  activity  is 
the  Orthopedic  Hospital  to  which  the  club  contributes 
liberally;  it  furnished  a  room  in  that  institution  two 
years  ago.  It  also  is  a  member  of  the  League  of 
Woman  Voters  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  recent 
Institute  of  International  Relations  whose  chairman 
was  Mrs.  Irene  Neineman,  Chairman  of  the  Public 
Affairs  Committee  of  the  club. 

This  College  Club  is  a  branch  of  the  Association  of 
American  University  Women  and  supports  it  finan- 
cially to  the  extent  of  $1200  a  year. 

The  Women's  University  Club  is  represented  on  the 
Moving  Picture  committee  made  up  from  the  women's 
clubs  of  the  city  which  recommends  for  school  and 
club  use  the  best  in  moving  pictures.  Mrs.  R.  J. 
Sterrett  of  the  club  is  chairman  of  this  committee 
and  Mrs.  Frederick  Prendergast  is  one  of  the  most 
prominent  members. 

The  membership  is  about  700,  over  fifty  new  mem- 
bers having  joined  since  the  beginning  of  the  year. 

The  officers  this  year  are:  President,  Mrs.  Charles 
F.  Turner;  Vice  president,  Mrs.  Edith  Hill  Powers; 
Recording  secretary,  Mrs.  Frederick  Prendergast; 
Corresponding  secretary,  Mrs.  Russel  Heath;  Treas- 
urer, Miss  Camille  M.  Giffen.  The  committee  chair- 
man are:  Program,  Mrs.  W.  L.  Woollett;  Printing,

AUDUBON  SOCIETY 

BETTER  WILD  LIFE  PROTECTION 
By  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell 


The  past  is  history,  the  future  untried  theories.  We 
build  for  the  future,  but  upon  the  past.  Civilization 
means  progress  and  progress  means  changes,  some 
that  come  naturally,  some  through  necessity,  others 
heedlessly  and  ruthlessly.  With  the  exception  of 
Africa,  no  country  was  so  richly  endowed  with  wild 
life  as  North  America  at  the  time  of  its  discovery. 
During  the  early  years  of  work  and  economy,  this 
heritage  was  treated  with  respect,  no  game  being 
killed  except  for  food. 

With  the  march  of  civilization  and  emigration, 
foreign  ideas,  reckless  greed  and  careless  waste,  have 
crowded  out  the  puritanical  thrift  and  economy  of 
our  forefathers,  and  our  wild  life  has  felt  the  hand 
of  man  mercilessly  raised  against  it.  Among  the 
first  species  to  become  extinct,  were  the  Labrador 
Duck,  Great  Auk,  Eskimo-Curlew  and  Passenger 
Pigeon,  the  buffalo  as  a  game  animal  and  the  musk 
ox.  You  know  their  histories.  Other  species  are 
threatened  with  the  same  fate  in  the  near  future 
unless  the  public  is  aroused  to  the  necessity  of  their 
protection  through  education  and  a  more  vigorous 
enforcement  of  our  wild  life  protective  laws.  Few 
hunters  know  our  shore  birds  and  there  is  an  alarm- 
ing amount  of  indiscriminate  shooting  of  our  pro- 
tected migratory  birds — especially  the  Curlews,  God- 
wits,  Willets  and  even  our  beautiful  Avocet  being 
mistaken  for  the  Jacksnipe,  because  they  have  long 
bills,  no  thought  being  given  to  the  difference  in  size, 
color  or  length  of  legs.  Boys  under  18  years  of  age 
and  without  hunting  licenses,  are  the  greatest  of- 
fenders. Several  have  been  arrested  and  fined.  A 
vigorous  campaign  for  the  education  of  the  adult  in 
identification  of  shore  and  water  birds  and  the  post- 
ing in  gun  club  houses  and  upon  the  grounds,  lists  of 
the  species  subject  to  "open  season"  and  the  penalty 
for  violation  of  the  Federal  law  protecting  other 
species,  is  being  agitated.  Some  strong  measure  must 
be  taken  if  our  wild  life  is  to  be  preserved  for  com- 
ing generations.  The  automobile,  motor  boat  and 
modern  gun  combined  with  the  lawless  indifference 
and  selfish  greed  of  many  hunters  not  in  the  true 
sportsman  class,  spell  extinction  to  many  species  un- 
less our  laws  are  more  vigorously  enforced. 

The  latest  great  menace  is  against  the  American 
Eagle,  adopted  by  our  forefathers  on  June  20,  1782, 
as  the  emblem  of  our  country.  His  is  the  strength 
and  courage  that  yield  not  even  at  the  point  of  death, 
typical  of  our  American  soldiers  in  the  World  War — 
the  untamed,  unconquerable  spirit  which  can  never 
be  subdued — the  bird  chosen  to  represent  the  liberty 
and  independence  of  America.  What  heart  so  hard 
that  it  does  not  thrill  at  the  thought!  Perched  above 
our  floating  stars  and  stripes,  with  outspread  wings, 
symbol  of  freedom   and   strength,  he  fears   no   enemy. 

Majestic  above  the  Nation's  unsullied  colors,  with 
piercing  eyes,  he  challenges  the  world.  Word  comes 
from  William  L.  Finley  in  Nature  Magazine  that  in 
1917  the  Territorial  Legislature  of  Alaska  started  a 
campaign  to  blot  out  the  American  Eagle  because  he 
eats  the  salmon,  though  at  the  most  he  can  only  dim- 
inish the  salmon  crop  by  a  few  cases  and  it  is  an 
established  fact  that  the  salmon  dies  after  spawning. 
Already  25,000  Eagles  have  been  killed  in  Alaska  for 
the  small  bounty  of  fifty  cents  per  Eagle.  If  the 
wings  were  spread  out  and  the  tips  touched,  a  carpet 
trail  over  thirty-three  miles  long  could  be  made  of 
the  dead  Eagles. 

The  Biological  Survey  of  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture sums  up  the  economic  value  of  the  Bald  Eagle 


as  "the  good  it  does  more  than  compensates  for  its 
obnoxious  deeds."  Will  the  American  people  allow 
the  extermination  of  their  living  National  emblem 
without  protest?  The  symbol  of  their  currency  and 
country? 

As  a  living  personality  of  his  image  on  the  arms 
and  coins  of  our  country  which  children  have  been 
taught  to  regard  with  respect,  let  us  arouse  to  action 
and  send  resolutions  to  the  National  Association  of 
Audubon  Societies,  1974  Broadway,  New  York  City, 
protesting  against  this  blot  on  our  Nation's  escutcheon 
which  casts  a  reflection  upon  the  patriotic  valor  and 
poetic  fancy  of  our  forefathers  in  choosing  this  ma- 
jestic bird  as  the  symbol  of  strength  and  power,  the 
liberty    and    independence   of    this    Republic. 


AVERILL  STUDY  CLUB 

By  Harriett e  L.  Rundel,  Press  Chairman 

The  Averill  Study  Club  is  making  an  effort  to  carry 
out  the  ideals  of  its  founder,  Mrs.  Anna  S.  Averill, 
and  in  its  study  of  the  world  interests  of  the  present 
day  takes  its  place  among  those  whose  minds  are 
alert  and  attentive  to  the  highest  workings  of  those  in 
authority  in  world  affairs. 

The  coming  to  the  city  of  Mrs.  Winter,  President  of 
the  General  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  has  been 
an  inspiration  to  use  our  best  faculties  in  helping  to 
further  the  aims  of  those  so  well  fitted  to  be  our 
leaders. 

Small  clubs  can  do  little  in  comparison  with  large 
ones,  but  are  in  a  sense  like  a  family  whose  members 
can  help  to  uphold  one  another,  and  to  influence 
neighboring  small  clubs — like  other  families — so  in  a 
measure  uplifting  and  enlightening  public  opinion. 

Every  brain,  if  well  instructed,  is  fitted  to  fill  some 
useful  place  in  the  national  economy,  and  the  com- 
bined brains  of  the  members  of  even  a  small  club  of 
women  are  something  to  be  reckoned  with,  and  hold 
a  place  by  no  means  to  be  despised  or  ignored. 

Our  late  programs  on  Civics  and  Social  Service 
have  been  especially  helpful  in  those  lines,  having 
been  addressed  by  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Lewis  on  "Need  of 
Juvenile  Protective  Work  in  the  County"  and  by  Miss 
Dorothea  E.  Wysor,  general  secretary,  on  "Work  of 
the  Travelers'  Aid.  These,  with  current  events  of 
especial  interest  and  profit  and  music  by  fine  talent, 
have  been  most  interesting  and  helpful. 

Plans  are  being  considered  for  programs  on  vari- 
ous subjects  and  help  for  various  causes.  Already 
this  season  we  have  presented  The  Needlework  Guild 
many  garments  made  by  ourselves  in  the  summer  not 
included  in  those  mentioned   in  previous  reports. 

We  hope  to  make  a  better  record  this  coming  year 
than  ever  before.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  KATE  TUPPER  GAL- 
PIN  SHAKESPEARE  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  C.  S.  Bradley,  Press  Chairman 

In  New  York  City  an  organization  has  been  formed 
under  the  name  of  the  "National  Shakespeare  Fed- 
eration." This  national  society  will  erect  a  building 
for  the  production  of  Shakespearean  dramas  and  will 
also  provide  for  the  preservation  of  any  documents 
that  may  be  of  interest  to  such  an  organization.  A 
board  of  lectureship  has  been  established.  Mrs.  Flor- 
ence Dobinson  of  the  Dobinson  School  of  Art,  Los 
Angeles,  is  a  member  of  this  board. 

Among  the  first  invitations  extended  to  Shake- 
spearean Clubs  for  membership  in  the  Federation 
was  the  invitation  received  by  the  Galpin  Shake- 
speare Club.  Mr.  Daggett,  secretary  of  the  Federa- 
tion, in  a  charming  letter,  urged  the  ladies  to  join  the 
Federation.  He  stated  that  he  considered  the  Kate 
Tupper  Galpin  Shakespeare  Club  the  best  known  and 
the  most  representative  Shakespeare  Club  in  the  West. 
The  club  is  now  identified  with  the  Federation. 

The  Christmas  program  of  the  club  promises  to  be 
one  of  exceptional  excellence  and  of  unusual  interest. 
Mrs.  Robert  Robinson  of  the  Galpin  Club  has  written 
a  one-act  satire  comedy  entitled  "The  Dark  Lady  of 
the  Sonnets"  especially  for  the  occasion.  The  play 
will  be  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Walter  Raymond 
Gillette,  Chairman  of  the  Dramatics  Committee,  who 
will  take  the  role  of  the  "Dark  Lady."  The  caste, 
which  includes  eight  people,  will  be  presented  by 
members  of  the  club. 

Mr.  Frayne  Williams,  who  has  charge  of  the  Gal- 
pin Class,  is  proving  a  very  popular  teacher.  His 
lectures  on  Henry  IV  are  exciting  favorable  comment. 
The  class,  which  meets  every  Tuesday  afternoon  at 
two  o'clock,  at  1500  South  Figueroa  Street,  is  open 
to  the  public. 

Mr.  Williams  who  is  an  actor-producer,  and  who  is 
identified  with  the  University  of  California  Extension 
Work,  Southern  Division,  will  on  Saturday  night, 
November  24,  and  again  on  Monday  night,  November 
26,  at  the  Fine  Arts  Theatre,  present  Shakespeare's 
"Twelfth  Night."  This  play  will  be  given  under  the 
auspices  of  the  U.  C.  Theatre  Extension.  Mr.  Wil- 
liams will  appear  in  the  role  of  the  "Duke  of  Arsino" ; 
Prof.  Anthony  Blanks,  former  teacher  of  the  Galpin 
Class  who  is  on  a  year's  leave  of  absence  from  the 
class,  will  have  the  role  of  "Malvolio."  Mr.  Jeffrey 
Williams  that  of  "Sir  Toby  Belch,"  and  Miss  Vivian 
Hoops  that  of   "Lady  Olivia." 

The  Galpin  Club  is  particularly  interested  in  this 
production,  not  only  for  the  reason  that  it  is  a  Shake- 
spearean drama,  but  also  from  the  fact  that  two  of 
its  class  teachers,  Mr.  Williams  and  Prof.  Blanks  are 
in  the  cast. 


GLEASON  PARLIAMEN- 
TARY CLUB 

L       By  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell.  Press  Chairman  L 

This  is  an  era  of  specializing.  Only  the  trained 
workman  or  scientific  expert  need  apply  with  any  cer- 
tainty of  success. 

This  rule  governs  the  federated  club.  A  speaker 
who  would  face  an  audience  with  composure,  must 
be  conversant  with  the  subject. 

The  Gleason  Parliamentary  Club  specializes  on  the 
correct  procedure  necessary  in  conducting  an  ordin- 
ary meeting.  It  presents  parliamentary  rules  in  a 
simplified  form,  with  practical  hints  and  suggestions 
as  to  their  use.  Apprentices  are  drilled  in  its  Par- 
liamentary Digest  with  practice  charts  for  every  mo- 
tion. The  principles  are  clearly  explained  in  a  com- 
prehensive manner. 


WOMAN'S  IMPROVEMENT 

ASSOCIATION,  SOUTH 

PASADENA 

By  Mrs.  Norman  F.  Marsh,  President 

The  Woman's  Improvement  Association  of  South 
Pasadena  opened  the  year  1923-24  on  October  3  with 
a  reception  to  its  President  and  Executive  Board. 
The  club  starts  its  year  with  bright  prospects,  since 
for  the  first  time  since  building  the  present  club- 
house located  at  Fremont  and  Rollins  Street,  they  are 
entirely  free  of  debt,  having  succeeded  last  year  in 
paying  a  mortgage  of  fifteen  hundred  thirty-five  dol- 
lars. 

The  association  has  grown  very  rapidly  the  past 
few  years  and  now  has  a  membership  of  over  five 
hundred.  They  are  doing  valuable  work  in  philan- 
thropy, social  service,  patriotic  education  and  civics. 
Recently  the  Philanthropy  Committee,  under  direction 
of  Mrs.  Charles  Pearson,  held  an  ingathering  of 
canned  fruit  for  our  local  Boys'  and  Girls'  Aid  So- 
ciety, and  were  happy  to  turn  over  to  this  orphanage 
651  quarts  of  fruit,  besides  many  jars  of  jam  and 
jellies. 

On  November  23  the  Ways  and  Means  Committee, 
under  direction  of  Mrs.  Ernest  Havill,  held  a  bazaar 
all  day  and  evening.  A  dinner  was  served  at  6:30 
and  dancing  in  the  evening.  The  committee  made 
the  bazaar  a  big  affair  and  thereby  increased  the 
funds  of  the  club,  so  that  their  eflForts  along  this  year. 

At  Thanksgiving  time  and  Christmas  the  Social 
Service  Committee,  with  Mrs.  W.  E.  Burke,  Chair- 
man, will  do  their  part  in  bringing  cheer  to  the  pa- 
tients at  the  General  Hospital  in  Los  Angeles. 

During  December  the  Civic  Committee,  with  Mrs. 
C.  W.  Upton,  Chairman,  will  conduct  the  Red  Seal 
sale  for  benefit  of  the  tuberculars. 

Besides  the  regular  programs  which  are  held  the 
first,  third  and  fifth  Wednesdays  of  every  month, 
from  October  until  June,  the  study  sections  are  a  very 
important  and  enjoyable  part  of  the  club  year. 

The  Association  is  federated  with  the  District, 
State  and  National  Federation  and  is  entering  whole- 
heartedly into  the  preparations  for  the  great  biennial 
convention  to  be  held  in  Los  Angeles  in  June. 


MRS.  J.  A.  MATTHEWS  RE- 
TURNS 

Clubwomen  all  over  the  state  will  be  glad  to  wel- 
come back  into  club  activities  Mrs.  J.  A.  Matthews, 
who  has  been  living  in  the  High  Sierras  for  several 
years,  where  Mr.  Matthews  has  been  Superintendent 
of  Welfare  Work  for  the  Southern  California  Edison 
Company  since  his   return  from  France. 

Mrs.  Matthews  will  be  remembered  for  her  long 
service  on  the  Los  Angeles  District  Board,  as  Chair- 
man of  Information  and  Reciprocity  and  Federation 
Extension,  and  as  the  District  Chairman  of  Press  in 
1919-20.  In  1916  she  was  Chairman  of  Program  for 
the  Los  Angeles  District  Convention. 

She  was  the  first  district  chairman  ever  to  hold 
regular  monthly  conferences  with  representatives  ap- 
pointed from  each  federated  club. 

As  Federation  Extension  Chairman,  she  urged  the 
clubs  to  appoint  federation  secretaries  and  a  monthly 
luncheon  conference  was  held  regularly,  promoting 
much  federation  spirit  and  club  friendships  through- 
out the  district. 

When  she  accepted  the  Chairmanship  of  Press  for 
Mrs.  Sidney  T.  Exley,  District  President,  she  im- 
mediately gathered  the  press  chairmen  from  the  vari- 
ous clubs  into  a  real  organization  and  her  press  con- 
ferences were   models  for  other  Districts.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


TEAM  WORK  FOR  HOME   PRODUCTS 


Like  most  movements  of  substantial  benefit  to  a 
great  number  of  people,  the  campaign  of  the  club 
women  of  California  to  bring  about  a  general  pa- 
tronage of  California-made  goods  by  Californians  is 
one  requiring  general  co-operation  on  the  part  of  all 
concerned  in  order  to  accomplish  the  end  sought. 

To  do  so  there  is  the  clear  incentive  to  each  group 
and  to  each  individual  of  actual,  personal  financial 
profit  from  the  matter.  However  indirectly  any  vo- 
cation or  avocation  be  connected  with  the  processes 
of  making,  distributing  and  selling  California  pro- 
ducts, there  is  none  which  does  not  directly  feel  the 
benefit  of  the  enormous  increase  of  manufacturing, 
wholesale  and  retail  business  which  will  be  the  re- 
sult of  the  purchase  by  consumers  of  California- 
made   goods   whenever  practicable. 

"Whenever  practicable"  does  not  mean  buying  a 
home  product  that  is  inferior  in  quality  or  higher  in 
price.  There  is  no  charity  or  self-sacrificial  patriot- 
ism involved  in  the  matter.  The  purchaser  is  asked 
to  do  nothing  more  than  to  consult  his  own  self-in- 
terest, directly  and  indirectly.  If  California-made 
goods,  quality  for  quality,  cannot  be  sold  as  cheaply 
in  California  markets  as  the  products  from  distant 
manufacturing  points,  then  the  California  manufac- 
turers do  not  ask  and  are  not  entitled  to  consideration. 
When  Californians  learn  that  it  is  hard  cash  in 
their  own  pockets  to  buy  at  home,  and  learn  it  so 
Svell  that  they  will  insist  on  a  California-made  article 
whenever  they  buy  instead  of  accepting  an  alien  sub- 
stitute or  paying  no  attention  whatever — then  the 
questions  of  unemployment,  of  business  depression, 
of  factories  running  part  time,  of  tight  money,  of 
wage  cuts,  layoffs,  bankruptcies  and  a  horde  of  at- 
tendant evils  will  be  solved.  Nothing  will  ever  en- 
tirely eliminate  crime  but  such  a  move,  by  practic- 
ally wiping  out  unemployment,  will  go  farther  to- 
ward doing  so  than  any  other  one  step  possible. 

Under  the  conditions  that  exist  today,  such  a  policy 
would  a  little  more  than  quadruple  the  present  de- 
mand for  California-made  goods,  would  multiply  by 
four  the  number  of  workers  required  to  produce 
and  market  these  goods  and  would  increase  in  cor- 
responding ratio  the  industrial  payrolls  of  California, 
the  investment  in  factories  and  retail  and  wholesale 
plants  and  would  retain  in  the  state  all  the  money 
represented  by  this  increased  output — money  now 
sent  to  eastern  markets  and  never  returning.  It 
needs  no  expert  economist  to  point  out  what  all 
these  things  would  mean  to  California,  not  only  to 
those  businesses  which  actually  handle  these  products 
but  to  every  other  business  house  and  individual  citi- 
zen, whether  wage  earner,  professional  man  or  in- 
vestor. 

The  stake  is   a  big  one  but  it  is  not  to   be  won  by 
letting  George  do  it.     Exactly  as  it  will  benefit  every 
man   and   woman   in   California,  whatever   their   posi- 
tion,  so   must   every   man   and   woman   do   his   or   her 
part  in  bringing  it  about.     The  average  person  is  apt 
to   consider   such   a   movement   as   far    removed   from 
his  small  affairs,   as  something  to  be  done   by  the  big 
■manufacturers,  the  big  jobbers   and   the   big   retailers. 
"I    buy   so    little   that   my   purchases   could    not    make 
much  difference  one  way  or  the  other,"   he   says,   and 
forthwith   telephones   to   the   grocer   for    another    sack 
of  flour.     He  could  get  California  flour  by  asking  for 
.  '  it   but   he   generally  forgets   to   ask   for   it   and   conse- 
i  quently  is  apt  to  get  Minnesota  flour  at  a  higher  price 
— (merely  because  the   Minnesota   flour   has   been   "put 
1     across"    by    national    advertising    and    high-powered 
I  :  salesmanship.      The    California    flour    is    better    and 
■  cheaper  and  represents  just  as  much  profit  to  the  re- 
;  '  tailer,  besides  standing  for  money  and  jobs  and  pros- 
perity for   California. 


Let  it  never  be  forgotten  that  the  small  consumer 
is  the  very  fabric  of  all  business.  The  $1000  or  so 
which  the  average  California  family  spends  annually 
for  manufactured  goods  may  not  of  itself  bulk  large 
but  when  it  is  multiplied  by  the  700,000  families  in 
California  it  becomes  $700,000,000,  a  sum  worth  some 
united  effort  to  retain  in  circulation  here  instead  of 
allowing  two-thirds  of  it  to  get  away.  The  actual 
consumption  of  manufactured  goods  in  California  is 
really  considerably  larger  than  this  but,  for  illus- 
tration, these  figures  will  do   as  well  as  any. 

If  the  buyer,,  generally  the  housewife,  of  each  of 
our  700,000  families  consistently  and  regularly  de- 
mands California-made  goods  when  she  buys,  it  will 
automatically  bring  about  the  end  sought.  How- 
ever, it  is  not  fair  to  put  all  the  burden  on  her. 
There  is  a  part  equally  important  for  the  manufac- 
turer to  play,  another  for  the  jobber  and  another 
for  the  retailer.     What  are  they? 

In  th  first  place,  it  it  up  to  the  man  who  makes 
these  goods  to  make  them  worthy  of  such  a  program. 
No  appeal  for  patronage  which  is  not  based  on  sheer 
merit  and  price-advantage  can  have  any  permanent 
results.  To  the  credit  of  California  manufacturers 
be  it  said  that  most  of  them  appreciate  these  facts. 
Their  goods  and  their  prices  are  visible  tokens 
thereof.  With  the  freight  differential  in  their  favor 
there  are  not  many  articles  which  they  cannot  sell 
to  better  advantage  than  their  eastern  competitors. 
Their  low  cost  of  manufacture,  resulting  from  cheap 
water,  cheap  fuel,  cheap  power,  efficient  labor  and 
proximity  to  the  sources  of  many  of  the  needed  raw 
materials,  are  additional  factors  in  their  favor. 
Quality  for  quality,  their  products  compare  more  than 
favorably  with  those  imported.  Their  one  disadvan- 
tage lies  in  the  fact  that  most  of  the  most  formidable 
competitors  of  these  products  are  articles  which  have 
been  so  long  on  the  market  and  so  extensively  adver- 
tised that  they  are  favored  by  casual  buyers  for  no 
better  reason  than  that  these  buyers  do  not  know 
there  are  equally-good  and  equally-cheap — often  bet- 
ter   and    cheaper — home    products    available. 

There  is  only  one  answer  to  this  and  that  is  ex- 
ploiitation  of  California-made  goods  through  every 
channel  which  can  be  made  available.  Advertising, 
display,  intensive  cultivation  of  wholesale  and  retail 
markets,  publicity — any  and  every  legitimate  means 
to  acquaint  the  buying  public  not  only  with  the  fact 
that  there  are  California  brands  of  nearly  every  ar- 
ticle of  retail  commerce  but  with  the  names  of  those 
brands — until  the  trade  names  of  California  goods  are 
as   familiar   to   Californians   as   the   alphabet. 

The  jobber  has  his  job  in  this,  and  so  has  the 
retailer.  The  wholesaler  can  powerfully  abet  the 
effort  to  put  (California  goods  on  the  shelves,  the 
counters  and  the  show-windows  of  California  stores. 
If  he  stocks  California  lines  instead  of  eastern  lines 
and  pushes  them  through  his  distributing  machinery 
he  is  supplying  one  of  the  most  essential  links  in  the 
chain.  And  he  personally  has  as  much  to  gain  by 
it  as  anyone. 

Not  a  small  share  of  responsibility  for  the  success 
of  the  plan  rests  upon  the  man  who  actually  sells  the 
goods  across  the  counter.  If  he  knows  California 
goods,  stocks  them,  displays  them  and  talks  them  to 
his  customers,  he  can  speed  the  movement  as  perhaps 
can  no  other  in  the  whole  series.  If  he  doesn't  he  is 
simply  robbing  his  own  till. 

There  is  the  complete  chain.  The  clubwomen  of 
California,  seventy  thousand  leaders  of  the  sex  that 
controls  nine-tenths  of  the  retail  buying  in  the  state, 
have  undertaken  to  buy  California  products  when- 
ever practicable  and  to  influence  as  many  others  as 
possible  to  do  the  same.

The  CLUBfVOMAN 


"THE  SOROPTIMIST  CLUB   OF   LOS   ANGELES" 


By  Gertrude  C.  Maynard,  Press  Chairman 


The  Los  Angeles  Chapter  began  with  the  largest 
number  of  charter  members  and  has  ever  kept  in  the 
lead  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  "Soroptimisra",  being 
the  first  to  adopt  a  pin  symbolic  of  its  aim  and  pur- 
poses. 

The  Soroptimist  Club  meets  at  the  new  Biltmore 
every  Tuesday  at  12  o'clock — and  adjourns  promptly 
at  1:15.  All  meetings,  with  the  exception  of  the 
fourth  Tuesday  of  each  month,  which  is  the  business 
meeting,  are  open  for  guests. 

Most  excellent  programs  are  prepared,  and  at 
every  meeting  there  are  many  opportunities  given  for 
everyone  to  become  acquainted  with  the  work  the 
members   are   doing. 

The  Soroptimist  Club  of  Los  Angeles  was  one  of 
the  few  clubs  that  held  meetings  through  the  entire 
summer,  with  good  attendance.  Many  members  came 
from  the  beaches  and  mountains  to  attend  the  meet- 
ings. 

Its  president  for  the  first  year  was  Mrs.  Oda  Faul- 
coner,  prominent  attorney  and  club  woman,  who 
guarded  this  infant  organization  over  many  rough 
places  and  won  the  love  and  esteem  of  all  its  mem- 
bers. 

Oda  Faulconer  is  now  handling  an  extensive  gen- 
eral practice  in  all  the  State,  Federal  and  United 
States  Supreme  Courts.  For  nineteen  years  she  was 
coinnected  with  the  Title  Guarantee  &  Trust  Company. 
During  ten  years  of  which  time  she  was  practicing 
law  for  the  company.  She  is  a  member  of  the  Friday 
Morning  Club,  the  Professional  Woman's  Club,  a 
member  of  the  Woman's  Lawyers  Club  and  the  Los 
Angeles  Federation  of  Business  and  Professional 
Clubs,  and  is  a  member  of  the  County,  State  and 
American  Bar  Association. 

Mary  Jean  (Mrs.  Harry  G.)  Henley  was  almost 
unanimously  chosen  as  president  for  the  second  year. 
Before  coming  to  Los  Angeles,  Mrs.  Henley  was 
County  Superintendent  of  Schools  in  Missouri  for  six 
years;  also  vice-president  of  the  State  Teacher's  As- 
sociation. She  is  also  a  Past  Grand  Matron  and 
Past  Grand  Secretary  of  the  Order  of  the  Eastern 
Star.  When  she  came  to  Los  Angeles,  on  account  of 
her  health,  she  was  made  chairman  of  Woman's 
Work  of  the  Church  Federation  and  is  chairman  on 
the  Board  of  City  Motives.  Mrs.  Henley  is  taking 
an  active  part  in  the  business  of  the  Harry  G.  Henley 
Co.,   realtors,  specializing  in  down-town  leases. 

Madame  Constance  Balfour,  vice-president,  is  one 
of  the  best  known  singers  in  California.  She  has 
sung  in  most  of  the  principal  cities  of  America, 
Europe  and  South  Africa.  In  Los  Angeles  she  has 
sung  for  most  of  the  clubs  over  and  over  again. 

Miss  Florence  E.  Banks  is  the  executive  secretary 
of  the  club  and  a  more  efficient  and  energetic  secre- 
tary could  not  be  found.  Miss  Banks  is  credit  man- 
ager of  the  Los  Angeles  Soap  Company,  member  and 
chairman  of  publicity  of  the  Los  Angeles  Credit 
Men's  Association  and  editor  of  their  new  magazine 
called  the  "O-K." 

The  club  membership  comprises  many  of  the  promi- 
nent business  and  professional  women  of  Los  Angeles. 
Among  them  are  Miss  Grace  S.  Stoermer,  Woman's 
Department,  Bank  of  Italy:  Mrs.  Aletha  Gilbert, 
City  Mother  and  Miss  Elizabeth  Kenney,  State  In- 
heritance Appraiser.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  BELLS  OF  EL  CAMINO  REAL 

By  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  President,  El  Camino  Real  Association 


'El  Camino  Real  is  one  of  the  oldest  roads  in  Amer- 
ica. There  are  but  two  that  ante-date  it.  The  Old 
Post  Road  that  goes  from  Boston  to  New  York  was 
established  as  a  definite  trail  in  1746.  Four  years 
later,  in  1750,  Nemocolin's  Path  that  led  through  the 
forest  from  the  Potomac  to  the  Monongahela  was 
made  a  military  trail  and  some  years  later  was  wid- 
ened to  twelve  feet  and  became  known  as  Braddock's 
Road.  In  1869,  away  out  here  in  the  far  west.  Gov- 
ernor Caspar  de  Portola  and  his  small  band  of  pio- 
neer soldiers,  accompanied  by  two  Franciscan  padres, 
traveled  the  trail  of  the  Indians  from  San  Diego  to 
Monterey.  During  this  long  and  irksome  trip  Father 
Juan  Crespi  kept  a  diary  wherein  he  located  sites 
that  seemed  favorable  places  for  Missions  to  be  estab- 
lished. He  named  rivers,  mountains,  Indian  ranch- 
erias  and  special  localities.  Later  when  the  Missions 
were  established  it  was  found  that  the  great  majority 
of  the  locations  thus  selected  by  Father  Crespi  were 
accepted  as  favorable  sites  for  the  Missions  and  the 
pathway  traveled  by  this  first  expedition  became  in 
time  the  main  highway,  El  Camino  Real,  leading  from 
Mission  to  Mission. 

The  words  El  Camino  Real  mean:  El — the, 
Camino — road,  and  Real — main  or  royal.  Therefore, 
a  true  translation  may  be  accepted  as  The  Main 
Road  or  the  Royal  Highway. 

When  the  padres  founded  a  Mission  their  first  act 
was  to  hang  bells  in  the  boughs  of  a  tree.  Then  a 
brush  hut- — an  enramada — was  constructed  to  protect 
the  altar,  and  a  huge  cross  was  built.  The  bells  were 
rung  to  call  the  people  together,  also  altar  bells  were 
rung  for  mass  that  formed  a  part  of  the  religious 
ceremonies  that  marked  the  advent  of  civilization  in 
California  under  Christianizing  influence.  In  every 
instance  in  this  early  work  bells  had  a  conspicuous 
place.  As  the  work  developed  the  useful  sphere  for 
bells  developed.  They  were  rung  for  mass  or  to  call 
all  of  the  people  to  festivals  or  together  for  general 
protection. 

Therefore,  when  it  was  decided  to  revive  the  old 
historic  road  of  the  Missions,  bells  were  placed  along 
the  route  that  people  might  know  which  road  was 
El  Camino  Real,  the  Royal  Road.  As  the  Missions 
zig-zag  through  the  State  so  the  bells  of  El  Camino 
Real  zig-zag  through  the  State,  directing  the  traveler 
always  to  the  next  Franciscan  Mission.  John  Mc- 
Groarty  says: 

"It's  a  long  road  and  sunny,  it's  a  long  road  and  old 
And  the  brown  padres  made  it  for  the  flocks  of  the 

fold. 
They  made  it  for  the  sandals  of  the  sinner-folk  that 

trod 
From  the   fields  of  the  open  to  the   shelter  house   of 
God." 
Today  there   are  over  four  hundred  bells   along  El 
Camino  Real.     They  have  been  placed  there  by  wom- 
en's   clubs,    Daughters    of    the    American    Revolution, 
Native    Sons    and    Daughters     Parlors,    Pioneer,     His- 
toric   and    State    Societies,    County    Supervisors,    City 
Councils    and    individuals,    all   concurring   in   the    one 
great    thought    of    memorializing    the    work    of    the 
padres.     Some  people  have  placed  memory  bells,  oth- 
ers have  given  them  as  honor  bells,  thus  commemorat- 
ing noble   and   worthy  deeds,   but   after   all,  when   all 
is  told,  they   are   placed   along  the   great  highway   as 
tributes  to  the  early  history  of  this  State. 

The   women's   clubs   have   given   over   one   hundred 


A.  S.  C.  Forbes 


bells,  the  D.  A.  R.'s  have  given  eighteen,  twelve  of 
which  have  been  given  by  Eschscholtzia  Chapter  and 
members  of  that  chapter.  It  is  the  aim  of  the  Camino 
Real  Association  to  have  a  bell  each  mile  from 
San  Diego  to  Sonoma — the  first  and  the  last  of  the 
Missions.  Therefore,  we  need  more  bells.  Each  bell 
guide-post  stands  eleven  feet  high,  the  bell  weighs 
one  hundred  and  fifteen  pounds.  There  is  a  metal 
sign  attached  to  each  post  that  bears  the  name  of  the 
nearest  Mission  and  the  distance  to  it.  On  the  post 
is  also  a  metal  plate  bearing  the  name  of  the  donor 
of  the  bell.  The  price  of  each  bell,  post,  sign,  plate 
and  the  erection  included  is  thirty-five  dollars.  It  is  a 
public  work.  No  salaries  are  paid  the  officers.  We 
solicit  your  co-operation  in  the  care  of  these  bells  of 
the  highway. 

We  have  made  arrangement  with  the  two  Automo- 
bile Clubs  of  California  to  take  perpetual  care  of  the 
bells  of  El  Camino  Real.  This  means  that  in  the 
future  the  bells  and  the  signs  will  be  kept  in  good 
repair.  In  a  short  time  the  new  signs  will  be  ready 
and  then  the  auto  clubs  will  replace  the  old  and  worn 
ones  with  the  bright  and  new.  The  Automobile  Club 
of  Southern  California  has  graciously  taken  charge 
of  all  the  bells  from  San  Diego  to  the  Mission  San 
Miguel  in  San  Luis  Obispo  County,  and  from  Mission 
San  Antonio  de  Padua  north  to  Sonoma,  the  Califor- 
nia State  Automobile  Association  of  San  Francisco 
has  charge.  Therefore,  if  you  find  a  bell  down  or 
injured  please  notify  either  of  the  automobile  clubs 
or  myself.  We  all  know  and  recognize  the  wonderful 
and  efficient  work  that  the  automobile  clubs  are  doing 
for  the  benefit  of  the  traveling  public  and  are  grati- 
fied to  know  that  the  upkeep  of  the  bells  of  El  Camino 
Real  is  now  under  their  supervision. 

These  bells  call  attention  to  the  early  history  of  the 
State  and  as  such  are  of  inestimable  value,  for  it  is 
only  through  intelligent  loyalty  to  the  state  and  coun- 
try in  which  you  live  that  makes  for  good  citizen- 
ship— therefore — 

Help   hang  the  bell!

The  CLUBWOMAN 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  BURBANK 


National  Education  Week  finds  this  club  happy  in 
being  able  to  bring  to  Burbank  schools  one  of  the 
General  and  District  Federation  Chairmen,  Mrs. 
Harriet  Williams  Myers,  who  will  give  a  lecture  on 
California  birds  and  flowers.  This  lecture  will  be 
given  a  number  of  times  during  the  day  in  order  to 
reach  as  many  of  the  school  children  as  possible. 

The  monthly  department  conferences  are  attended 
with  few  exceptions,  great  interest  being  shown  when 
reports  are  made  back  to  the  club. 

The  Arts  and  Crafts  Section,  with  Mrs.  Irving 
Sherlock,  Chairman,  will  hold  a  sale  of  their  work 
some  time  in  December.  This  and  the  Current  Events 
Section,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Margaret  D. 
Yale,  Chairman  of  Political  Science  in  the  District, 
are  the  baby  sections,  but  have  grown  to  be  very 
lusty  ones,  making  themselves  heard  throughout  the 
club  and  the  community. 

Mrs.  May  M.  Clarke  and  her  Philanthropic  Com- 
mittee are  doing  splendid  work,  holding  rummage 
sales,  and  disbursing  sums  thus  collected  among  the 
needy  families. 

The  club  program  day  for  November  came  two 
days  before  Thanksgiving  Day,  and  the  members 
brought  jars  of  fruit  and  jelly,  as  an  offering  to  the 
Children's  Hospital. 

The  Dramatic  Section,  Mrs.  Charles  B.  Fischer, 
Chairman,  is  taking  a  course  in  Expression  under 
Geraldine  Jacobi  Russell,  formerly  with  the  compa- 
nies of  Henry  Miller  and  George  Arliss. 

The  club  membership  is  increasing  steadily,  and, 
although  each  new  member  is  made  heartily  wel- 
come at  the  tirne  of  joining,  there  is  a  plan  on  foot 
to  hold  a  reception  soon  for  all  those  taken  in  since 
the  opening  of  the  club  year. 

The  thousand  dollars  made  at  the  Fall  Festival 
was  but  the  incentive  to  more  work.  The  club  has 
voted  to  serve  the  weekly  Kiwanis  luncheon.     As  the 


Mrs.   Walter  C.  Fisher, 
President  Woman's  Club  of  Burbank 

club  rooms  are  inadequate  for  this  purpose,  the  un- 
used dining  room  and  kitchen  of  a  centrally  located 
hotel  are  to  be  rented  at  a  small  cost.  Many  of  the 
members  of  Kiwanis  are  "Club  Husbands,"  so  they 
will  have  the  pleasure  of  a  home  cooked  meal  and  at 
the  same  time  help  the  women  to  make  more  money 
for  the  clubhouse   fund.

and  Current  Events   Sections  have  attained   a  greater 


The  Wednesday  Morning  Club,  with  Mrs.  S.  B. 
Welcome  as  the  President,  is  forging  ahead  in  a  most 
successful  manner  this  year,  as  has  been  clearly  dem- 
onstrated by  the  interest  taken  by  the  various  club 
membe^rs,  and  also  the  success  of  such  social  ventures 
as  they  have  already  held  during  this  club  year,  which 
is  still  in  its  infancy,  but  from  the  interest  so  far 
displayed  promises  to  be  a  most  successful  one  before 
it  finally  draws  to  a  close. 

This  club  numbers  among  its  members  many  who 
have  attained  prominence  in  the  business  and  social 
world  and  promises  to  gain  even  a  greater  success  as 
we   attain  age. 

The  Shakespeare  Section,  with  Mrs.  H.  E.  Brett 
as  the  able  instructor,  has  taken  up  the  study  of 
"King  Lear"  and  further  studies  to  be  taken  up  by 
this  section  during  the  club  year  are  "King  John," 
"Timon  of  Athens,"  and  "The  Tempest,"  which  stud- 
ies promise  great  things  for  those  taking  part. 

The  Drama,  Music,  English,  Parliamentary  Usages, 


success  among  the  members  this  year  than  at  any 
time  in  the  history  of  the  club,  and  as  the  season 
advances  all  are  assured  of  greater  things  to  be 
brought  out  by  these  various  sections,  which  it  is  the 
privilege  of  the  club  woman  at  the  time  to  devote 
her  time  to  the  study  of,  so  as  to  be  able  to  take  her 
proper  place  in  the  management  of  home  and  civic 
affairs  as  they  may  present  themselves  to  her. 

The  club  has  planned  something  new  for  this  club 
year,  as  they  are  soon  to  hold  a  "Christmas  Carnival," 
which,  from  the  interest  taken  so  far  by  the  members, 
promises  to  be  a  glorious  success  under  the  able  lead- 
ership of  Mrs.  E.  H.  Chester,  Chairman  ■  f  Finance, 
and  from  the  manner  in  which  she  has  conducted 
features  in  the  past  it  is  a  well  known  fact  that  this 
will  be  one  of  the  outstanding  features  during  this 
club  year,  which  are  only  possible  with  an  able  chair- 
man and  the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  members  of 
the   club  that  she   represents.

HIGHLAND  PARK  EBELL  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  George  F.  C, 

Opposition  to  rock  crushers  in  the  Arroyo  has  been 
a  source  of  much  concern  to  Highland  Park  Ebell 
Club. 

Past  efforts  in  this  respect  have  been  successful  and 
the  club  has  played  an  important  part  in  preserving 
the  Arroyo  for  a  park. 

In  this  endeavor  the  Arroyo  Seco  will  not  be  limited 
to  the  satisfaction  of  Highland  Park  but  it  will  also 
serve  as  one  of  the  city's  most  beautiful  parks, 
stretching  through  adjoining  territories  of  South  Pasa- 
dena and   also  Pasadena. 

The  new  president,  Mrs.  Harry  Louis  Stroh,  whose 
home  overlooks  the  Arroyo's  scenic  beauty,  has  been 
an  ardent  worker  for  its  preservation. 

Highland  Park  Ebell  Club  has  outgrown  its  club 
house  and  has  acquired  adjacent  property  to  meet  its 
future  demands. 

Club  meetings  are  held  every  Tuesday  morning 
with  a  monthly  luncheon  on  the  first  Tuesday  and 
cafeteria  luncheons  the  other  Tuesdays.  There  are 
seven  sections:  Literature,  Bible,  Drama,  Art,  Shake- 
speare, History  and  Landmarks  and  Rambler  sections, 
and   a  prospective  Bird   and   Flower   section. 

Mrs.  Stroh  has  begun  the  year  with  the  desire  that 
it  be  characterized   by  faith,  hope  and  love. 

A    reception    to    new    members    was    held    Tuesday 


ook.  Press  C hairman 

afternoon,  October  30,  after  a  choice  program  of 
music  by  Mrs.  A  Louis  Nickerson,  pianist  and  Mrs. 
Harry  Scott  Ross,  soprano. 

Numbered  among  the  Highland  Park  Ebell  Club 
members  are  three  officers  of  the  District  Federation, 
one  of  whom,  Mrs.  William  R.  Myers  is  chairman 
of  Birds  and  Flowers  in  the  General  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs.  The  others  are  Mrs.  William 
Waller  Slayden,  recording  secretary,  and  Mrs.  C.  L 
Ritchey,  chairman  of  Public  Health.  All  of  these 
ladies  are  past  presidents  of  Highland  Park  Ebell 
Club. 

Highland  Park  Ebell  Club  was  organized  in  1903 
and  the  members  take  pride  in  the  list  of  talented 
presidents  who  have  served  during  the  twenty  years 
of  its  existence. 

The  endeavor  has  always  been  to  keep  abreast  of 
the  times  and  to  co-operate  with  other  clubs  in  con- 
structive work.    The  club  motto  is: 

"To  our  club — Loyalty. 
To  the  community — Wise  Service." 

With  the  knowledge  that  "strength  united  is 
stronger"  there  is  a  realization  of  the  fact  that  a 
combined  effort  of  all  clubs  is  needed  in  forwarding 
the  all-absorbing  plan  of  international  peace.

SANTA  BARBARA  COUNTY  NOTES 

Miss  Lloy  Galpin  of  Eagle  Rock,  Los  Angeles  dis- 
trict chairman  of  the  Department  of  International 
Relations,  was  the  chief  speaker  at  the  eighth  semi- 
annual convention  of  Santa  Barbara  County  Feder- 
ation, meeting  in  the  auditorium  of  the  fine  new  high 
school  in  Santa  Maria  on  November  3. 

Miss  Galpin  gave  a  most  able  address,  using  as 
the  keynote  "The  Triumph  of  Intelligence"  which 
she  cleverly  wove  around  the  slogan  of  the  state. 
"The   Spiritual  Force  of  Understanding." 

Luncheon  at  the  Santa  Maria  Inn  was  presided 
over  by  Mrs.  F.  J.  Goble,  who  made  an  excellent 
toastmistress,  having  cleverly  arranged  the  subjects  of 
the  toasts  to  spell  "Welcome." 

The  toasts  were: 

Welcome. — Mrs.  Goble. 

Eligibility. — Mrs.   Parish. 

Loyalty. — Mrs.  Stein. 

Convention.- — Mrs.    Fillmore. 

Our  Leader. — Mrs.  Humphrey. 


My  Club  and  yours. — Mrs.  Dimrock. 

Experience. — Miss   Peterson. 

Mrs.  E.  M.  Fillmore,  President  of  the  Santa  Bar- 
bara Woman's  Club,  in  her  toast  to  "Convention," 
said  eighteen  women  from  her  club  would  attend  the 
banquet  at  the  Biltmore,  November  14,  honoring  Mrs. 
Thomas  G.  Winter. 

Mrs.  F.  J.  Humphries  began  her  toast  to  "Our 
Leader"  with,  "Winter  is  scheduled  to  arrive  in  Los 
Angeles  today.  Not  in  storm,  but  in  a  beam  of  sun- 
shine that  will  scatter  love,  happiness,  and  enthusiasm 
in  the  hearts  of  all  club  women,  and  create  a  desire 
not  to  live  within  one's  self,  but  to  help  establish  the 
brotherhood  of  man.  This  beam  of  sunshine  is  our 
leader,  Alice  Ames  Winter." 

Let  us  take  notice  of  this  very  praiseworthy  fact, 
which  shows  the  great  federation  spirit  that  perme- 
ates Santa  Barbara  County. 

Every  club  president  in  the  county  and  every  county 
chairman  were  at  the  convention  hal>  promptly  on 
time,  10  o'clock,  and  remember  Santa  Maria  is  only 
a  few  miles  from  the  northern  boundary  of  the  county.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


A  "CORSET-LESS  CORSET" 

Many  women  will  be  interested  to  learn  through  one 
of  the  advertisements  in  this  issue  that  one  of  our 
own  California  manufacturing  concerns  is  putting 
out  what  it  terras  a  "corset-less"  corset,  calculated  to 
appeal  to  those  women  who  find  that  they  cannot  suc- 
cessfully go  without  corsets  altogether — and  it  is 
claimed  that  day  by  day  more  and  more  are  finding 
that  to  be  their  case.  The  advertisement  referred  to 
reads  as  if  this  corset  would  be  a  boon  to  those  of 
generous  proportions  particularly,  since  it  is  suitable 
for  all  figures,  "even  the  stoutest". 

The  claims  made  for  this  "corset-less"  corset  are 
broad  and  most  women  will  want  some  substantial 
proof  before  being  satisfied  to  accept  them.  But  the 
manufacturers  have  met  this  by  installing  up-to-date 
private  fitting  rooms  at  their  factory  and  supplying  a 
very  broad  line  of  fitting  samples  for  try-on  purposes. 

Under  the  director  of  women  experts  a  cus'omer 
gets  a  practical  demonstration  and  preliminary  fitting, 
trying  on  as  many  garments  as  may  be  her  pleasure 
to  test  different  heights  above  the  waist-line,  different 
lengths  of  skirt — in  fact,  to  satisfy  herself  of  every 
detail  before  ordering. 

Any  changes  desired  from  samples  tried  on  are 
noted,  exact  measurements  are  charted,  the  particular 
kind  and  weight  of  material  the  customer  prefers  is 
selected,  and  in  a  few  days  the  corset,  just  as  the  cus- 
tomer wants  it,  is  made  and  ready  for  final  fitting  and 
delivery. 

Every  fitting  by  these  experts  at  the  factory  is  guar- 
anteed without  condition  and  the  customer  is  the  sole 
judge.  The  policy  at  this  factory  is  that  if  even  after 
the  corset  has  been  made  the  customer  is  not  thorough- 
ly satisfied  but  would  prefer  to  keep  the  purchase 
price,  she  may  do  so  without  obligation  of  any  kind. 

Such  a  liberal  and  unconditional  method  of  selling 
any  made-to-order  article  is  most  unusual;  but,  on 
the  other  hand,  nothing  could  more  emphatically  im- 
press the  public  with  the  manufacturer's  own  con- 
fidence in  his  wares. 

This  ingenious  "corset-less"  corset  for  which  so 
much  is  claimed  was  designed  and  created  by  a  man 
who  has  had  over  fifteen  years  experience  and  ob- 
servation in  every  phase  of  the  corset  industry,  and 
whose  opinion  it  is  that  most  corsets  fail  because  they 
are  too  hurriedly  designed  and  are  made  to  sell 
through  their  appeal  to  the  eye  and  the  pocket  book, 
regardless  of  their  practicability  and  their  intrinsic 
worth. 

This  manufacturer  explains  that  from  a  scientific 
standpoint  a  corset  is  intricate  and  not  the  simple 
thing  it  is  thought  to  be  by  the  lay  mind.  It  is  sub- 
ject to  the  laws  of  physics;  and  to  be  efficient,  stay  in 
place  on  the  body,  keep  its  shape  and  form,  give  the 
proper  and  needed  support,  and  yet  be  comfortable 
and  not  injurious  to  the  wearer,  it  must  be  designed 
with  scientific  regard  for  stress  and  strain  and  the 
effects  of  combining  straight  lines  and  curves,  angles 
and  the  use  of  cloth  or  elastic  or  both — just  as  it  is 
necessary  to  solve  and  work  out  all  engineering  prob- 
lems scientifically  to  insure  the  success  and  safety  of 
a  tall  building  or  other  structural  work. 

Over  two  years  were  spent  thoroughly  testing  out 
and  perfecting  the  ideas  incorporated  in  this  garment 
which  has  just  recently  been  released  to  the  public 
generally,  and  the  valuable  new  features  of  which 
are  protected  by  patent  claims. 

It  is  stated  that  practically  a  thousand  women, 
representing  every  possible  size,  stature,  and  poise, 
modeled  and  served  as  test  cases  in  perfecting  this 
new  creation  to  be  suitable  to  every  figure.  But  the 
results  are  so  gratifying  and  accurate  and  certain  that 
the  manufacturer  can  make  the  unlimited  guarantee  of 
satisfaction  referred  to  above.

Mrs.  Byrnes'  favorite  recipe  calls  for 
Libby's  Milk  in  both  cake  and  frosting 


MRS.  H.  A.  BYRNES,  as 
hundreds  of  California 
women  know,  speaks  with 
authority  on  many  topics,  but 
her  main  interest,  it  seems, 
concerns  the  home  —  and 
cooking. 

Among  the  desserts  she 
prepares  for  her  own  table  is 
a  Jelly  Cake,  the  recipe  for 
which  is  given  here.  And  she 
uses  Libby's  Milk,  you  notice, 
in  both  the  cake  and  frosting. 
It  gives,  she  says,"added  del- 
icacy, richness  and  economy." 

71/2  teaspoons  of  butter  fat 
in  every  can 

To  start  with,  Libby's  Milk 
is  exceptionally  fine  milk  from 
selected  herds  in  California's 
famous  dairy  section — Hum- 
boldt County.    Then  we 


evaporate  more  than  half  the 
water  from  it,  making  it 
double  rich — so  rich  that  there 
are  1}4  teaspoons  of  butter 
fat  in  every  16  ounce  can! 
That's  why  Libby's  Milk 
gives  such  great  richness,  such 
fine  ffavor  to  cooking. 

Try  it  tonight 

Sealed  in  air-tight  cans  and 
sterilized,  you  can  get  this 
richer  milk  pure  wherever 
you  live. 

Order  a  can  from  your 
grocer  today.  Try  it  tonight

THE   GREAT   COMMANDMENT:  "THOU  SHALT  LOVE 
THY  NEIGHBOR  AS  THYSELF" 


(By  Rev.  M.  F.  McCutcheon,  of  Canada) 
If  the  world  were  to  be  saved,  three  main  things 
had  to  be  achieved.  The  present  economic  order, 
which  had  competition  for  its  basis,  had  to  be  changed, 
and  altruistic  service  must  take  the  place  of  service 
for  personal  gain;  a  Christian  democracy  had  to  be 
set  up,  political  life  at  present  being  divorced  from 
Christianity,  and  an  international  Christian  order  had 
to  be  instituted  .  .  .  The  house  that  people  were  called 
on  to  build  today  was  the  house  of  the  kingdom  of 
God,  a  social  order  permeated  with  the  spirit  of  love, 
dominated  by  the  law  of  service,  and  recognizing 
the  inherent  fact  of  common  brotherhood.  Men  had 
been  building  houses  for  themselves,  instead  of  for 
God,  but  they  were  coming  to  realize  that  Jesus  was 
a  true  statesman,  leading  to  a  world  of  jutsice, 
brotherhood,  peace,  and  harmony  ...  It  is  time  for 
business  men  to  acknowledge  the  same  obligations  as 
scientists  and  other  benefactors  of  humanity  and 
render  service  for  the  sake  of  service  ...  In  con- 
clusion, the  preacher  said  that  people  had  become  so 
obsessed  with  the  pagan  pursuit  of  the  dollar  that 
they  had  lost  the  vision  of  both  God  and  Mammon. 
It  was  the  task  of  Christians  to  rebuild  the  structure 
on  the  basis  of  brotherhood  and  cooperation,  and  not 
on  material  gain.  He  (the  Rev.  McCutcheon)  ex- 
horted the  members  of  the  graduating  class  to  go  about 
that  task,  not  in  the  weak  spirit  of  Hamlet,  when  the 
times  were  out  of  point,  but  with  courage  in  their 
mission,  soberly  and  not  as  iconoclasts. — Mail  and 
Empire  (Canada). 

*  *     * 

The  recent  union  of  the  Methodist,  Congregational, 
and  Presbyterian  churches  of  Canada  into  a  single  de- 
nomination to  be  known  as  the  United  Church  of 
Canada,  is  the  culmination  of  several  years  of  ef- 
fort. The  Chicago  Journal  declares  that  "it  is  a  sign 
of  the  times."  The  modern  church  is  much  less 
concerned  about  doctrines  than  about  service,  and  the 
great  service  to  be  rendered  by  united  effort  is 
plain  to  all.  Doctor  Pidgeon  is  quoted  by  the  press 
as  saying  in  the  final  debate  in  the  Presbyterian  As- 
sembly, "It  is  a  crime  against  the  interests  of  the 
kingdom  of  God  to  waste  men  and  money  by  perpet- 
uating denominationalism."  The  Presbyterian  Wit- 
ness of  Toronto  declares:  "If  ever  there  was  a  time 
when  the  need  was  urgent  for  the  union  of  Christian 
forces' in  a  great  spiritual  movement  for  the  regen- 
eration of  our  social  order  and  the  redemption  of  the 
world,  surely  it  is  now.  Human  brotherhood  can 
only  come  to  the  world  by  the  growth  of  the  Christ 
in  the  hearts  and  lives  of  the  people,  and  that  ser- 
vice to  amount  to  much  must  be  inspired  and  directed 
by  the  spirit  of  Truth,  without  which  men  walk  in 
spiritual  darkness  and  labor  very  largely  in  vain." — 
San  Jose  Mercury-Herald.

It  vpould  seem  that  ethical  conditions  in  commer- 
cial life  in  the  United  States  are  gradually  changing 
toward  the  better,  broader,  and  higher  conception  of 
business   relations. 

Merchandising  and  manufacturing  seem  to  have 
sought  a  higher  altruistic  level,  and  a  spirit  of  co- 
operation for  the  general  good  seems  to  have  brought 
about  a  spirit  of  concession  and  unselfishness  which 
was  but  little  known  twenty  or  more  years  ago.  Many 
causes    have    contributed    to    this    progressive    change. 


the  wider  spread  of  education,  the  realization  that 
courtesy,  unselfishness,  honesty,  truth,  fair  dealing, 
tolerance,  and  a  desire  for  the  general  good  not  only 
tend  to  building  happiness,  but  that  they  build  busi- 
ness and  profits  as  well  as  make  friends. 

The  sorrowful  lessons  and  burdens  of  the  World 
War  have  brought  the  people  of  all  the  world  closer 
together  in  a  sympathy  of  sorrow  and  suffering.  The 
tremendous  revival  of  patriotic  sentiment  and  enthusi- 
asm has  caused  men  to  stand  side  by  side,  clasping 
hands  for  the  promotion  of  better  days  and  better 
things.  The  enormous  and  urgent  demands  upon 
charity  have  brought  about  an  era  of  giving  greater 
than  ever  before  known  in  the  world's  history,  and 
hearts  soften  when  purse  strings  are  loosened.  Nor 
must  we  forget  the  part  women  have  played  in  this 
great  uplift,  driving  out  of  business  drunkneness, 
profanity,  lying,  cheating,  and  boisterousness,  and 
replacing  them  with  refinement,  clean  language,  so- 
briety, serious  and  polite  deportment,  truth  and  hon- 
esty.— Chicago  Journal  of  Commerce.

Rev.  Alexander  Mann  said  recently  that  you  can- 
not shoot  hatred  out  of  men.  You  cannot  instill  hope 
and  courage  by  legislation.  What  is  needed  is  a  new 
spirit  in  the  world,  and  that  depends  upon  men's 
turning  to  the  honorable,  noble,  and  stainless  things 
of  life,  the  power  of  new  affection.  Let  us  think 
seldom   of   our    enemies    and    often   of   our   frineds. —

There  is  not  a  business  man  of  any  degree  of  in- 
telligence but  knows  that  when  a  man  takes  religion 
into  his  business,  and  runs  it  by  the  Golden  Rule,  suc- 
cess is  assured,  and  it  is  as  certain  to  follow  as  it 
f  •hat  a  stone  will  fall  to  the  earth  after  it  has 
been  thrown  into  the  air.  It  is  a  law,  and  comes  as 
the  natural  result  of  his  being  in  harmony  with  the 
law. 

The  world  is  starving,  not  for  material  things,  but 

for     spiritual     impulses;     and    plain     speaking    about 

ideals  is  the  most  needed  thing  in  the  world  today. —

Kindness,  charity,  a  keen  regard  for  other  folks' 
rights  and  a  sympathetic  respect  for  their  feelings — 
these  may  seem  like  very  homey,  old-fashioned  graces, 
but  these  are  still  very  intimately  related  to  the  hap- 
piness and  the  welfare  of  the  world.  In  fact,  it  al- 
most looks  as  if  the  world  needed  the  old-fashioned 
virtues  more  than  it  needed  any  other  kind,  and  that 
this  was  a  specially  good  time  for  laying  emphasis 
upon  them. — Canada  Christian   Guardsman.

and  economic  and  political  adjustment — the  things

UNEMPLOYMENT  AND  CHILDREN— HOW  BUYING 
HOME  PRODUCTS  WILL  HELP 


One  of  the  principal  arguments  advanced  by  the 
clubwomen  of  California  for  a  general  patronage  of 
home  industries  has  been  that  the  results  of  such 
a  policy,  by  furnishing  employment  to  many  who 
would  otherwise  be  without  work,  would  powerfully 
militate  against  crime,  of  which  unemployment  is 
one    of   the    chief    causes. 

No  argument  is  needed  to  prove  that  buying  home 
products  will  decrease  unemployment  in  direct  ratio 
to  the  extent  to  which  the  policy  is  observed.  Fac- 
tories must  expand  and  will  expand  only  to  the 
extent  to  which  their  output  is  demanded  and  their 
payrolls   will   be   enlarged   in   proportion. 

That  the  effect  of  the  resulting  diminution  in  un- 
employment will  react  with  substantial  benefits  in 
other  directions  than  in  the  war  upon  crime  is  made 
emphatic  by  Grace  Abbott,  chief  of  the  Children's 
Bureau  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Labor,  who 
says    in    her    report    to    Secretary    of    Labor    Davis: 

"Large  groups  of  children  suffer  not  temporary 
but  permanent  losses  as  a  result  of  a  period  of  in- 
dustrial depression.  Those  who  are  interested  in 
raising  the  standard  of  our  citizenship  through  bet- 
ter care  of  the  children  of  the  country  can  not  re- 
gard as  outside  the  field  of  their  concern  proposals 
for  preventing  unemployment  and,  failing  in  a  pro- 
gram of  pre\'ention,  measures  which  are  necessary 
for  safeguarding  the  children  during  a  period  of 
unemployment." 

Two  representative  cities  were  chosen  by  the  bureau 
for  intensive  investigation  as  to  the  effects  of  unem- 
ployment on  child  welfare.  What  unemployment  meant 
for  the  families  studied — mostly  families  of  sel- 
respecting,  fairly  prosperous  skilled  workmen,  more 
than  two-thirds  of  whom  had  been  out  of  work  for 
more  than  a  year — and  what  it  meant  for  the  children 
concerned  may  be  summed  up  in  the  following  find- 
ings  of    the    report: 

"Unemployment,  because  it  means  lowered  family 
standards,  anxiety  and  dread,  the  loss  of  savings, 
and  the  mortgaging  of  the  future,  has  a  direct  and 
disastrous  effect  upon  the  welfare  of  children.  While 
communities  are  usually  able  to  organize  their  re- 
sources so  that  children  are  not  removed  from  their 
own  homes  because  of  poverty  caused  by  an  indus- 
trial crisis,  these  resources  have  not  been  sufficient 
to  prevent  very  real  suffering  in  family  groups  strick- 
en with  the  misfortune  of  loss  of  work  by  the  father." 

A  jc'u;  of  the  foncrete  cases  cited  h^  the  report  to 
sliov:  the  difficulties  met  by  families  in  their  struggle 
•txith  unemployment  and  poverty,  and  their  brave  at- 
tempts  at   readjustment  folloiv: 

".\  family  in  which  there  are  four  children  has 
managed  to  get  along  'somehow' — as  the  mother  put 
it — although  in  over  a  year  the  father  had  apparent- 
ly earned  only  $75.  Vet  they  have  kept  out  of  debt. 
Shoes  and  stockings  are  one  of  the  things  they  have 
not  been  able  to  manage,  however,  and  lack  of  them 
had  kept  two  of  the  children  out  of  school  and 
brought  a  visit  from  the  truant  officer.  In  this  cold 
month  of  February,  the  2-year-old  baby  is  running 
around   barefoot." 

".•\  man  who  had  been  earning  $18  a  week  working 
for  a  baking  company  lost  his  job  Just  before  Christ- 
mas, and  in  order  to  reduce  expenses  his  family  went 
to  live  in  an  apartment  with  the  family  of  his  broth- 
er. Including  the  child  of  the  brother  and  his  own 
little  boys,  aged  1  and  3  years,  there  are  seven  peo- 
ple living  in  four  rooms.  During  the  two  months 
of  his  unemployment  the  father  had  but  one  job — 
cutting   ice — at    which    he    has    earned    only   $9.      Be- 


cause of  a  weak  heart  he  can  not  continue  at  this 
work  or  stand  city  work.  The  payments  on  insur- 
ance policies,  which  had  been  carried  for  the  father, 
mother,  and  one  child,  have  been  dropped.  No  milk 
is  being  taken,  even  though  the  children  are  so  small. 
The  relief  society  has  given  aid  to  the  extent  of 
$15.46,  The  mother  says  that  the  family  is  not  in 
debt." 

"A  Hungarian  couple  who  have  been  in  the  United 
States  18  years,  and  residents  of  the  city  nine  years, 
are  about  35  years  old  and  have  four  boys,  whose 
ages  are  1,  4,  9  and  13  years,  and  a  girl  of  11.  The 
father  is  a  molder  and  in  ordinary  times  can  earn 
about  $1,800  a  year.  With  so  large  a  family  it  was 
not  possible  to  save  much,  but  they  were  buying 
their   home   by  monthly  payments  of   $20. 

"The  father  was  laid  off  in  October,  1920,  and 
the  period  of  unemployment  had  stretched  to  15 
months.  During  this  time  he  had  picked  up  a  few 
short-time  laboring  jobs,  the  pay  for  which  totaled 
less  than  $150.  The  mother  economized  as  much  as 
possible  on  food,  reducing  the  milk  from  4  or  5 
quarts  to  3  a  day,  cutting  out  fruit  and  sweets,  and 
buying  meat  once  a  week  instead  of  once  or  twice 
dailv.  They  ran  up  a  $66  grocery  bill  and  a  debt 
of  $6  at  a  tea  and  coffee  store,  and  then  credit  was 
refused  them.  They  borrowed  $60  from  friends  and 
ran  behind  on  insurance  payments  and  payments  on 
the  house.  Finally,  the  mother,  although  not  a  strong 
woman,  and  with  much  to  do  in  caring  for  her  own 
home,  succeeded  in  finding  cleaning  to  do,  two  days 
a  week  for  seven  weeks.  Part  of  the  time  she  took 
the  children  to  a  day  nursery  and  the  other  days  the 
11-year-old  girl  cared  for  them  at  home.  The  mother 
has  earned  a  total  of  $42  during  the  father's  unem- 
ployment. The  family  is  now  living  entirely  on  city 
commissary   orders,    and    has   a    bill   there   of   $36.35. 

"The  13-year-old  boy  had  kept  the  family  supplied 
with  fuel  by  picking  coal  off  the  railroad  tracks.  He 
finally  was  caught  and  arrested  and  he  and  his  fa- 
ther were  brought  into  the  juvenile  court.  At  the 
first  hearing  the  father  was  ordered  to  pay  $14  for 
the  'stolen'  coal  and  was  given  two  weeks  in  which 
to  get  the  money.  Only  two  days  of  the  two  weeks 
are  left,  and  the  father  expects  to  go  to  jail  because 
he  has  nothing  with  which  to  pay. 

"  'The  mother  has  cut  expenses  to  the  minimum,' 
is  the  phrase  which  occurs  mosj  frequently  in  vari- 
ous forms  in  the  reports  concerning  the  families.  In 
almost  all  of  the  cases  cited,  one  of  the  'expenses' 
cut  during  the  hard  times  was  the  amount  of  milk. 
For    instance: 

"The  mother  has  cut  expenses  to  the  minimum, 
getting  one  quart  of  milk  a  day  instead  of  two — ■ 
ttie    children    drink   tea    and   coffee." 

"When  the  father  lost  his  job  a  year  ago  the  moth- 
er said  that  the  only  thing  left  to  cut  down  on  was 
food,  and  this  has  been  done  to  the  limit.  The  family 
used  to  take  two  or  three  quarts  of  milk  a  day, 
but  now  they  get  one  quart  of  whole  milk  and  one  of 
skim   milk.     This   has   to  suffice  the  four  children." 

"The  mother  has  cut  down  expenses  as  much  as 
possible.  She  takes  one  quart  of  milk  a  day  instead 
of  two,  though  the  children  beg  for  milk  on  their 
oatmeal.  She  gets  no  meat  except  the  three  pounds 
a  week  with  the  commissary  orders.  They  live  chiefly 
on    bread,   coffee,    potatoes    and    cereal." 

"The  mother  has  always  been  economical  but  novf 
has  not  even  the  necessities.  She  used  to  get  2  quarts 
of   milk    a   day,   now    gets   only   one."

"MY   GARDEN  OF  MEMORY" 

By   Mary   S.    Gibson 


To  this  year's  output  of  good  autobiographies,  Kate 
Douglas  Wiggin  has  added  onq  of  universal  interest. 
To  California  it  has  a  special  appeal,  because  it  was 
here  that  its  author  found  the  inspiration  which 
shaped  the  whole  course  of  her  most  successful  life — 
it  was  here  that  she  prepared  for  tha  interlocking 
professions  in  which  she  made  herself  not  only  useful 
but  famous.  It  is  for  Californians  that  she  plucked 
a  very  special  "sweet  bouquet"  of  rosemary  and 
lavendar   and   tosse,d   it  to   us  with   her   love. 

When  she  came  in  1876  stepping  westward  "a 
radiant  girl  of  seventeen,"  chaperoned  most  impru- 
dently, safely,  and  delightfully  by  two  single  gentle- 
men of  thirty-four  and  twenty-two,"  she  found  Santa 
Barbara  with  no  great  hotels  and  no  magnificent 
villas  in  the  Montecito  and  the  Mission  Canyon. 
There  were  no  motors,  of  course,  one  casual  dilatory 
street  car;  dust  everywhere  save  in  the  rainy  season; 
a  multitudinous  army  of  fleas,  since  vanished;  but 
it  was  a  heaven  on  earth,  nevertheless. 

At  once  she  gave  an  answer  to  the  oft-repeated 
question  of  today,  "How  was  social  life  supportable 
in  those  old  days  when  there  was  nothing  to  do?"  as 
she  writes,  "There  was  good  society  in  Santa  Barbara, 
both  for  young  and  old.  There  were  few  dances 
save  those  under  the  famous  grapevine  in  the  Monte- 
cito Valley,  because  there  was  so  much  bathing  and 
horseback  riding,  so  many  picnics  in  the  Cathedral 
Oaks  and  along  the.  many  trails  through  the  canyons, 
so  many  suppers  on  the  beach;  in  short,  such  a  habit 
of  living  out  of  doors  morning,  noon  and  night  that 
there  was  little  time  for  inside  gayeties." 

It  was  in  California  that  she  found  the  two  great 
influences  of  her  grown-up  life,  Mrs.  Caroline  M. 
Severance  and  Dr.  Horatio  Stebbins.  Mrs.  Severance 
of  Los  Angeles,  whose  house  guest  she  was  for  nine 
months  while  she  took  her  kindergarten  course  of 
Miss  Marwedal,  opened  a  new  world  to  the  young 
student,  who  writes  of  her,  "She  made  my  mind  more 
alert,  made  me  think,  form  opinions  and  convictions 
of  my  own,  widened  my  horizon.  I  was  'more  of 
a  person'  when  I  left  her  roof.  .  .  .  Mrs.  Severance 
was  as  a  personality  a  most  valuable  intellectual 
stimulus." 

Of  Dr.  Horatio  Stebbins,  the  clergyman  who  suc- 
ceeded Thomas  Starr  King  as  Unitarian  minister  of 
San  Francisco  who  became  chief  advisor  in  the  work 
on  Tar  Flat,  she  writes,  "Dr.  Stebbins  fortified  my 
spirits,  gave  me  strength,  courage,  philosophy,  endur- 
ance. He  was  the  first  person  to  make  me  understand 
life,  its  meaning  and  purpose,  and  to  help  me  live  it." 

Of  the  children  of  Dr.  Stebbins,  she  s^ys,  "They 
were  not  precocious  children,  but  very  wise  for  their 
years"  and  then  goes  on  to  write  that  "six  year  old 
Lucy,  now  Dean  of  Women  at  our  State  University, 
once  said,  when  her  father  and  mother  sat  on  the  edge 
of  their  chairs  in  the  drawing  room  waiting  in  a 
heavy,  brooding  silence  for  the  carriage  to  be  an- 
nounced to  take  them  to  a  formal  banquet,  'If  you 
wore  your  pearl-grey  dress,  mother  mightn't  it  miti- 
gate the  gloom?'  " 


It  was  in  San  Francisco  that  She  learned  to  teach, 
and  it  was  there  that  she  wrote  her  first  books,  "The 
Story  of  Patsy"  and  "The  Birds'  Christmas  Carol" 
as  pot-boilers  for  the  "Tar  Flat"  Kindergarten.  She 
made  California  the  scene  of  all  her  books  for  chil- 
dren. 

It  was  in  San  Francisco  that  she  established  her 
Training  School  for  Kindergarteners  and  to  which  she 
returned  from  New  York  to  lecture  for  years  after 
her  marriage  in  1880  to  Mr.  Wiggin. 

Mrs.  Wiggin's  books  have  been  translated  into  all 
the  principal  European  languages  and  into  Japanese. 
There  is  a  complete  Tauchnitz  edition  and,  the  great- 
est triumph,  all  the  children's  books  have  been  printed 
in   raised   type   for   the   blind. 

Aside  from  the  pages  which  are  important  to  the 
educational  history  of  California,  Mrs.  Wiggin  has 
made  a  brilliant  contribution  to  literature  in  the  an- 
nals of  a  useful  and  busy  life  of  a  woman  who  in 
using  all  her  gifts  strengthened  them.  She  said  of 
herself  as  a  child,  "I  was  a  born  participator  and  I 
fear  from  the  beginning  of  time  nothing  ever  oc- 
curreid  in  my  vicinity  in  which  I  did  not  long  to  take 
a   hand." 

It  was  after  fame  had  come  that  Mrs.  Wiggin 
went  back  to  HoUis,  Maine,  the  home  of  her  child- 
hood, and  set  up  her  country  home — Quillcote.  After 
she  had  made  a  cosmopolitan  career  and  was  hon- 
order  by  both  the  distinguished  and  undistinguished 
she  did  something  that  will  touch  the  imagination 
of  all  club-women,  for  it  was  then  that  the  one 
hundred-year  old  barn  of  Quillcote  "came  to  life" 
by  being  restored  as  a  meeting  place  and  audience 
room  for  the  village.  At  its  dedication  dance,  the 
owner  led  off  with  the  head  carpenter,  her  mother 
with  the  head  painter,  and  somebody  else  with  the 
head  well  digger,  until  all  the  principal  creators  of 
the  carefully  planned  and  finished  Barn  formed  a 
double  quadrille  of  honor  in  the  center  of  the  eighty 
guests  of  the  village.  With  the  refreshments  of 
doughnuts  and  cheese,  red  apples  and  coffee,  the 
speech-making  began,  and  Mrs.  Wiggin  reminded 
the  friends  of  her  childhood,  and  of  that  day,  that 
as  they  were  mostly  a  village  of  workers,  farmers, 
storekeepers,  blacksmiths,  masons,  etc.,  she  wanted 
them  to  know  that  she  had  earned  every  penny  that 
had  been  put  into  Quillcote,  its  fifteen  acres  of  land, 
the  barn  and  all  its  improvements;  that  not  a  dollar 
of  inherited  money  nor  anything  not  provided  by 
work  had  gone  into  it,  and  therefore  the  barn  stood 
for  equal  enjoyment  and  opportunity — that  all  the 
tools,  the  shovel,  plow,  pen,  etc.,  had  each  done  its 
part;  that  the  barn  had  always  stood  for  service  and 
that  it  was  then  the,  task  of  the  wielders  of  these 
tools  to  give  it  a  new  lease  of  life,  with  fresh  oppor- 
tunities for  usefulness. 

And  now  let  us  rejoice  that  Kate  Douglas  Wig- 
gin set  her  Garden  of  Memory  in  perfect  order  for 
us,  went  to  London  to  a  great  gathering  in  honor  of 
her  beloved  Dickens,  and  died,  her  bounteous  harvest 
gathered,  "at  early  candlerlight."  All  was  as  she 
would   have   wished    it.

MISSION  GARDEN  RESTORED 

By  Martha  Nelson  McCan 


THE  Park  Department  of  Los  Angeles  has  demon- 
strated in  concrete  form  Count  Korzybski's  idea 
advanced  in  his  book  "The  Manhood  of  Hu- 
manity" that  human  beings  are  "Time  Binders," 
carrying  over  from  one  generation  to  another  special 
lines  of  human  endeavor.  They  have  done  this  by 
creating  as  nearly  as  possible  a  replica  of  a  garden 
such  as  was  planned  and  developed  by  the  Mission 
Fathers  in  conjunction  vpith' their  spiritual  and  edu- 
cational work. 

We  are  "Time  Binding"  for  we  are  taking  the 
ideas  and  work  of  the  early  padres,  developing  and 
preserving  things  which  were  built  more  than  a  hun- 
dred years  ago  for  our  use  and  for  the  education  and 
pleasure  of  future  generations. 

All  this,  is  by  way  of  an  introduction  explaining 
the  making  of  "The  Memory  Garden"  at  Brand  Park, 
facing  San  Fernando  Mission. 

The  story  of  acquiring  a  city  park  so  near  the  old 
San  Fernando  Mission  will  bear  repeating,  as  it  shows 
the  determination  of  the  women  when  they  are 
aroused  to  action.  The  women  of  San  Fernando 
heard  rumors  that  a  lemon  packing  house  was  to  be 
built  on  land  fronting  the  Mission.  They  took  action 
at  once  with  such  earnestness  that  the  Mission  Land 
Company  presented  to  the  city  for  park  purposes 
seven  acres  lying  between  Brand  Boulevard  and  Mis- 
sion Road  opposite  the  Administration  Building  of 
the  San  Fernando  Mission.  It  was  at  once  dedicated 
to  the  City  of  Los  Angeles  for  park  purposes. 

When  I  became  a  member  of  the  Park  Commission, 
I  made  a  tour  of  the  parks.  Brand  Park  with  its 
historic  surroundings  gave  me  the  thought  that  a 
most  interesting  garden  in  this  park  could  be  devel- 
oped, carrying  out  as  far  as  possible,  the  vision  of  the 
Mission  Fathers.  The  Park  .  Superintendent,  Mr. 
Shearer,  said  it  was  physically  possible;  the  Park 
Board  gave  its  consent. 

The  first  step  was  to  obtain  advice  from  those  who 
had  made  a  study  of  the  work  of  the  early  padres. 
This  was  done  by  taking  John  S.  McGroarty  to  look 
at  the  site  and  tell  him  our  ideas.  If  any  of  you  have 
ever  tried  to  capture  Mr.  McGroarty  for  any  length 
of  time,  you  know  that,  in  itself  was  an  achievement. 
Charles  F.  Lummis  and  Sumner  Hunt  were  also  taken 
out  and  their  opinions  asked.  After  we  had  the  ap- 
proval of  such  authorities,  we  felt  we  could   proceed. 

Then  followed  a  trip  to  Santa  Barbara  with  the 
president  of  the  Park  Commission,  William  A.  Bowen, 
Mr.  Shearer,  and  myself  to  inspect  the  Mission  Gar- 
den there,  as  it  is  the  only  one  that  has  been  con- 
tinuously maintained. 

Upon  returning,  plans  were  made  and  approved  by 
the  Park  Board.  Then  came  the  necessity  of  raising 
sufficient  funds  to  carry  out  the  plan.  Mr.  Ralph  Cris- 
well,  president  of  the  City  Council,  gave  us  the  assur- 
ance that  the  Finance  Committee  would  duplicate 
every  dollar  that  was  obtained  by  private  subscrip- 
tion. With  blue  prints  and  our  enthusiasm,  enough 
money  was  raised  to  begin  the  work.  The  result  may 
now  be  seen  by  driving  out  to  Brand  Park. 

A  tour  of  the  state  was  then  made  by  the>Eark  Su- 
perintendent, the  plantsman,  architect  and  myself  visit- 
ing every  mission.     Pictures  were  taken,  plants,  seeds, 


cuttings  and  bulbs  secured,  many  of  them  descendants 
of  the  original  plants  brought  by  the  padres  from 
Spain. 

In  reading  the  history  of  these  old  gardens,  we 
learned  that  not  only  did  the  padres  grow  their  mem- 
ory plants,  but  they  went  out  to  the  mountains  and 
deserts  and  brought  in  the  wild  flowers.  We  have 
followed  this  plan  and  the  Memory  Garden  may  soon 
have  the  only  collection  of  living  wild  flowers,  as 
the  march  of  progress  and  the  zeal  of  the  sub-divider 
will  soon  obliterate  all  the  beautiful  growths  in  the 
hills  and  in  the  valleys  of  Southern  California.  All 
of  the  specimens  are  labeled,  making  this  garden  in 
reality  an  outdoor  museum. 

A  great  accomplishment  in  working  out  this  plan 
was  moving  across  the  highway  and  railroad  track, 
the  wonderful  star  shaped  fountain  and  placing  it 
in  the  garden.  This  is  the  only  fountain  of  this 
design  to  be  found  in  any  of  the  Mission  Gardens  in 
California.  The  dedication  of  this  fountain  was  es- 
pecially "Time  Binding"  as  Mr.  L.  C.  Brand,  who 
gave  it,  came  from  his  home  in  a  flying  machine 
bringing  with  him  the  deed  of  the  fountain,  built 
more  than  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  years  ago. 
The  deed  was  given  to  a  member  of  the  City  Coun- 
cil, thereby  officially  conveying  this  historic  relic 
to  the   city  of  Los   Angeles. 

The  Mission  Land  Company  will  help  to  make 
the  garden  a  complete  unit  by  giving  a  statue  of 
Junipero  Serra,  which  will  be  placed  beside  the 
fountain,  in  the  shade  of  the  pepper  trees,  radiat- 
ing peace,  as  did  the  good  padre  in  his  life  time. 
Sally  James  Farnham  of  New  York  is  making  the 
statue,  and  when  it  is  dedicated,  another  dream 
will  have  come  true. 

Some  day  when  you  feel  the  urge  to  get  away  from 
the  "roaring  town,"  drive  out  to  the  San  Fernando 
Mission,  have  your  luncheon  under  the  pepper  trees, 
wander  around  the  Memory  Garden;  it  will  take 
you  back  hundreds  of  years,  it  will  conjure  up  mem- 
ories of  the  wonderful  work  of  the  padres  who  estab- 
lished, as  an  eastern  park  expert  said,  the  first 
civilized  gardens  in  America.  Sit  under  the  shade  of 
the  mission  grapes,  descendants  of  the  first  vines  ' 
brought  by  the  early  father,  smell  the  sweetness  of 
the  Rose  of  Castille,  look  at  the  beauty  of  the  Passion 
Vine  and  of  the  now  rare  wild  flowers,  also  the  old 
fashioned  flowers  that  were  in  our  mothers'  gardens, 
and  I  am  sure  you  will  feel  that  the  carrying  on  has 
been   worth   while. 

In  this  great  rushing  modern  life  of  ours,  we  must 
not   let   the    'Glory   of   the   Garden"    as   Kipling   says, 
escape    us,   for   it   means   the    passing   of   the   "Spirit" 
which  Kipling  embodies  in  the  following  verse: 
Oh,   Adam   was    a   gardener,   and    God    who 

made  him  sees 
That   half    a   proper   gardener's   work    is 

done  upon  his  knees. 
So  when  your  work   is  finished,  you   can 

wash   your  hands   and   pray 
For  the  Glory  of  the  Garden  that  it  may 

not  pass  ,away ! 
AND  THE  GLORY  OF  THE  GARDEN 

IT    SHALL   NEVER   PASS   AWAY!

THE    PRESENT   CONDITION   OF   THE    MISSIONS 

By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes.  Chairman  of  California  History  and  Landmarks  for  Los  Angeles  District,  C.  F.  ff^.  C. 


During  a  recent  visit  to  the  old  Franciscan  Mis- 
sions of  California  I  was  pleased  to  see  that  many 
of  them  were  being  restored  and  generally  cared  for 
in  a  most  satisfactory  manner.  For  many  long  years 
they  have  been  neglected  and  left  to  the  elements 
and  vandals  but  now  the  Catholic  church  has  begun 
a  semingly  systematic  plan  of  restoration  and  prac- 
tical use  of  the  buildings.  They  have  adopted  the 
Old  World  plan  of  charging  an  entrance  fee.  This 
is  objectionable  to  many  visitors  but  it  should  not  be, 
for  if  we  wish  to  be  entertained  we  should  be  willing 
to  pay  the  entertainer.  To  my  way  of  thinking  it 
is  a  very  good  way  in  which  the  public  can  con- 
tribute their  mite  toward  the  restoration  of  these 
interesting   landmarks.     Let   the   good   work   go   on. 

It  is  with  a  heartache  that  I  have  to  record  that 
San  Diego  de  Alcala  the  first  and  most  historic  of 
the  Missions  is  still  a  deserted  and  neglected  ruin. 
The  buildings  for  the  Catholic  school  nearby  are 
kept  in  good  repair  but  the  Mission  buildings  are 
left  to  the  care  of  an  old  Mexican  who  digs  and 
explores  and  works  away  in  a  methodical  and  de- 
voted manner  clearing  away  the  debris  against  the 
day  when  church  and  state  will  come  to  the  realiza- 
tion of  the  value  of  this  priceless  legacy  they  have 
inherited.  May  that  time  come  before  it  has  come 
to  be  a  lost  opportunity.  Mission  San  Diego  was 
founded  by  Fr.  Junipero  Serra  July  16th,  1769,  more 
than   a   century   and    a   half    ago. 

Traveling  north  from  San  Diego  along  the  Kings 
Highway,  El  Camino  Real,  we  stopped  at  Oceanside 
and  then  drove  out  to  see  beautiful  San  Luis  Rey 
de  Francia,  the  pride  of  the  founder,  Fr.  Fran- 
cisco Fermin  Lasuen,  It  is  located  on  a  command- 
ing eminence  and  the  buildings  have  been  restored 
and  reconstructed.  Many  changes  from  the  orig- 
inal plan  have  been  made,  but  since  those  who  made 
them  saw  fit  to  make  them,  let  those  who  did  not 
keep  peace.  The  original  buildings  were  pillaged 
long  ago  for  the  tiles  and  rafters.  The  beautiful 
arches  were  blown  down  with  powder  to  get  out  the 
bricks  of  which  they  were  constructed.  The  doors 
and  windows  were  taken  that  unscrupulous  persons 
might  build  ranch  houses.  But  Mission  San  Luis 
Rey  has  arisen  as  a  Phoenix  from  its  own  ashes 
and  stands  today  a  credit  to  the  Catholic  church  and 
a    monument  to    Fr.    O'Keefe    who    superintended    the 


DCJlM'4='-4?:riDC3c: 


work.  San  Luis  Rey  was  founded  June  13,  1798, 
and  when  completed  in  1802  was  generally  conceded 
by  travelers  to  be  the  most  beautiful  of  all  the 
Missions. 

In  1816  Fr.  Antonio  Peyri,  then  in  charge  of  San 
Luis  Rey,  found  that  it  was  most  difficult  for  the 
many  Indians  living  in  the  Palomar  mountains  to 
come  down  to  the  Mission  for  worship,  therefore  he 
established  a  branch,  or  asistencia,  chapel  nearer  to 
them  and  dedicated  it  to  San  Antonio  de  Padua. 
It  is  Pala, — with  the  charming  campanile  that  stands 
alone  amid  the  dead.  This  bell  tower  is  the  out- 
standing feature  of  the  surrounding  structure.  In 
a  cloudburst  and  attending  storm  the  campanile  went 
down  but  Fr.  Doyle  rebuilt  it  of  its  own  parts,  even 
to  the  cactus  on  the  top.  He  also  put  the  chapel 
and  priest's  rooms  into  permanent  and  creditable 
condition. 

Mission  San  Juan  Capistrano  has  long  stood  a 
noted  ruin.  Little  was  done  toward  permanent  res- 
toration until  after  Rev.  St.  John  O.  O'SuUivan  took 
charge  of  the  parish.  Sealed  up  windows  and  doors 
have  been  opened,  arches  have  been  constructed  and 
wonderful  improvement  is  registered.  The  most  in- 
tersting  work  is  the  renovation  of  the  building  known 
as  Father  Serra's  chapel.  It  is  the  only  chapel  still 
standing  in  which  Fr.  Serra  ever  preached.  At 
present  it  is  being  converted  into  a  permanent  chapel 
with  a  wonderful  gold-emblazoned  altar  which  has 
lain  in  the  storehouse  of  a  Los  Angeles  church  ever 
since  the  passing  of  mission  days.  It  was  sent  here 
from  Spain  and  was  intended  for  a  cathedral  but 
for  some  reason  it  now  occupies  the  entire  end  of  the 
Fr.    Serra   chapel. 

The  old  mission  is  a  perpetual  delight  to  artists 
and  travelers.  It  has  broken  arches  and  ivy-grown 
walls;  it  has  quaint  recesses  and  a  charming  little 
chimney,  even  a  few  Indians  stroll  by  now  and 
then  and  the  quiet,  restful  surroundings  within  the 
cloisters  recall  the  mission  history.  When  you  are 
asked    for   twenty-five    cents    entrance   fee,   give    fifty. 

Mission  San  Gabriel  Arcangel  was  first  located 
five  miles  away  from  the  present  site.  It  was 
founded  September  8,  1771,  by  Frs.  Somera  and 
Cambon,  and  removed  in  the  year  1776.  It  pros- 
pered greatly  and  soon  outgrew  two  chapels  which 
were    built    before    the    present    attractive    stone    and

Business  Secrets 


WHAT  the  grocer  pays  for 
sugar  and  coffee  or  what  the 
butcher  pays  for  beef,  rent 
and  help,  are  matters  of  which  the 
average  person  knows  Httle  or  noth- 
ing. Few  men  would  have  the  hardi- 
hood to  ask  the  clothier  the  amount 
of  his  overhead  expenses  or  the 
hardware  dealer  what  per  cent  he 
adds  for  profit. 

ALL  these  rinatters  are  considered 
business  secrets — the  private 
affairs  of  the  individual.  It 
would  be  considered  in  very  bad 
taste  to  ask  any  of  these  merchants 
for  permission  to  examine  their 
books,  their  bank  balances,  their  in- 
voices and  bills  payable.  It  simply 
"isn  t  done." 


BUT  not  so  with  a  regulated  pub- 
lic utility  corporation.  Not 
only  are  its  books  open  to  the 
inspection  of  the  State  Railroad 
Commission  (the  agent  of  the  pub- 
lic) but  its  bookkeeping  is  done  ac- 
cording to  methods  approved  by 
the  Commission.  Thus  there  are  no 
"business  secrets"  with  an  institu- 
tion such  as  Los  Angeles  Gas  and 
Electric  Corporation.  Its  earnings, 
expenses  and  profits  are  all  under 
the  careful  scrutiny  of  a  body  of  ex- 
perts selected  by  the  State  govern- 
ment for  the  purpose  of  seeing  that 
both  the  consumer  and  the  Corpora- 
tion receive  fair  treatment. 

HOW     successfully     this     system 
operates  is   illustrated   by   the 
total    lack    of    profiteering    in 
gas    and    electric    rates    during    and 
since  the  war.

brick  one  was  begun  in  1800.  The  Indians  con- 
nected with  San  Gabriel  were  industrious  and  hap- 
py. They  were  noted  for  their  fine  work  in  sad- 
dlery, leather  and  bone  carving,  carpentry,  weaving 
and  painting.  Their  handiwork  together  with  the 
hides,  supply  store  and  produce  brought  riches  to 
the  Mission.  Strangely  enough  for  those  days  the 
guiding  hand  was  that  of  a  woman.  Eulalia  Perez 
de  Guillen,  wife  of  a  Spanish  soldier,  was  appointed 


bookkeeper  and  treasurer  and  was  entrusted  with 
the  keys  of  the  storehouse.  She  paid  all  bills,  wheth- 
er for  a  hide  or  for  a  cargo  of  supplies  bought 
from  the  ships  at  San  Pedro.  But  secularization 
brought  disaster  in  1832  and  prosperous  San  Gabriel 
with  its  record  of  over  42,000  head  of  livestock. 
7709  baptisms  and  gold  by  the  sack,  passed  to  the 
control  of  the  Mexican  government  and  suffered  a 
like    fate    with    the    rest    of    th    Missions, — temporal 


and  spiritual  decay.  In  1846  the  buildings  were 
sold  to  Reid  and  Workman  for  past  services  ren- 
dered to  the  government.  Their  title  was  not  sus- 
tained and  the  property  was  returned  to  the  church. 
Frs.  Ordaz  and  Joaquin  Bot  struggled  to  keep  the 
beautiful  church  from  utter  destruction,  and  in  a 
most  commendable  way  succeeded.  Today  it  is  in 
good  repair  and  supported  reverently  and  gener- 
ously by  the  Catholics  through  the  church  and  by 
the   public   through   the   entrance   fees. 


EBELL  PROGRAMS  FOR  JANUARY 

By  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


The  holidays,  of  necessity,  cause  a  lull  in  club  activ- 
ities, but  with  the  New  Year  interest  is  revived  and, 
as  the  children  go  back  to  school,  mothers  return  to 
their  work  in  the  various  departments  and  with  re- 
newed interest  to  the  programs  offered. 

Miss  Frederica  de  Laguna,  chairman  of  Monday 
programs  of  Ebell,  has  arranged  a  widely  diversified 
series  for  this  month,  commencing  with  a  musicale 
January  7  by  a  brilliant  pianist,  Phillip  Tronitz.  This 
will  be  followed  January  14  by  John  Niehardt,  who 
will  read  his  own  beautiful  epic  poem,  "The  Song  of 
Three  Friends,"  which  was  awarded  the  five  hundred 
dollar  prize  offered  by  the  American  Society  of  Poetry, 
being  considered  the  greatest  volume  of  verse  offered 
in  1919. 

This  poet,  critic  and  man  of  letters  belongs  to  the 
West.  His  is  the  voice  of  prairie,  mountain  and  the 
heroes  of  the  early  days. 


On  January  21  a  lecture,  "The  Changing  Mind  of 
Man,"  will  be  given  by  Edwin  Emery  Slosson,  Ph.  D., 
who  is  the  Director  of  Science  Service  at  Washington 
and  an  author  on  scientific  subjects,  including  "Easy 
Lessons  in  Einstein,"  "American  Spirit  in  Education" 
and  "Creative  Chemistry." 

January  28  comes  Rebecca  West,  the  famous  Eng- 
lish novelist,  who  is  widely  known  on  both  sides  of 
the  Atlantic  for  her  novels,  "The  Judge"  and  "The 
Return  of  the  Soldier." 

As  one  of  the  leading  lights  in  English  suffragist 
circles.  Miss  West  is  well  fitted  to  discuss  her  subject, 
"Woman  and  Politics  in  England,"  and  her  careful 
study  of  social  conditions  enables  her  to  present  views 
that  are  strikingly  original. 

And  so  for  the  month  of  January,  Ebell  members 
will  enjoy  outstanding  artists  and  scholars,  and  the 
Monday  meetings  will  contain  something  of  interest 
to  everyone.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE   FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Sarah  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


True  to  its  sense  of  civic  responsibility,  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  Friday  Morning  Club,  on  Decem- 
ber  12,  passed  the  following  resolution: 

WHEREAS; — The  Friday  Morning  Club  has  always 
stood  for  the  enforcement  of  law;   and 

WhereaSj — The  club  heartily  concurs  with  the 
President  of  the  United  States  in  his  recent  message 
to  Congress  when  he  says:  "Free  government  has  no 
greater  menace  than  disrespect  for  authority  and 
continual  violation  of  law,  and  it  is  the  duty  of  a 
citizen  not  only  to  observe  the  law  but  to  let  it  be 
known  that  he  is  opposed  to  its  violation"  ;  and 

Whereas, — There  seems  to  be  a  concerted  move- 
ment against  Mayor  Cryer  because  of  his  efforts 
toward   law  enforcement,  therefore  be   it 

Resolved, — That  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Fri- 
day Morning  Club  goes  on  record  in  an  expression  of 
appreciation  of  all  that  Mayor  Cryer  has  done  for 
the  City  of  Los  Angeles  during  his  term  of  office, 
and  be  it 

Further  Resolved,— That  the  Friday  Morning  Club 
Board  of  Directors  at  this  time  records  its  continued 
confidence  in  both  Mayor  Cryer  and  Chief  Vollmer  in 
their  efforts  for  the   enforcement  of   law. 

At  this  time  when  the  nations  of  the  world  so  des- 
perately need  a  heightened  sense  of  the  power  of 
law  in  the  settlement  of  disputes  it  ill  behooves  us  in 
our  several  communities  to  take  any  stand  save  on 
the  side  of  law  enforcement;  and  it  naturally  follows 
that  it  is  our  clear  duty  to  uphold  those  in  office  who 
are  attempting  to  carry  out  to  the  best  of  their  ability 
the  behests  of  the  law. 

Scarcely  second  in  interest  to  the  welfare  of  our 
own  community  is  the  national  question  of  the  partici- 
pation of  the  United  States  in  the  World  Court.  At 
the  round-table  discussion  on  this  subject;  December 
11,  Mr.  Harley  presented  the  whole  matter  in  a  re- 
markably succinct  fashion,  pointing  out  the  main  fea- 
tures of  the  issue  as  it  now  comes  before  Congress 
and  the  people  of  this  country  to  accept  or  reject.  The 
four  reservations  of  Mr.  Hughes  which  have  the  ap- 
proval of  the  President  were  stated:  (1)  That  our 
membership  in  the  World  Court  will  not  involve  legal 
obligations  to  the  League  of  Nations;  (2)  That  our 
representatives  should  appear  in  the  assembly  of  the 
League  of  Nations  simply  to  elect  judges  to  the  World 
Court  and  then  withdraw;  (3)  That  we  should  bear 
our  proportionate  share  of  the  expense  oT  the  World 
Court ;  (4)  That  no  change  of  procedure  should  be 
made  in  the  World  Court  without  the"  approval  of 
the  United  States. 

What  will  be  the  fate  of  the  question  in  the  senate? 
Will  the  committee  on  Foreign  Relations  succeed  in 
pTgeoii-holing  it,  or  will  popular  sentiment  force  them 
to  meet  the  issue? 

To  the  non-political  mind,  at  least,  the  opposition  to 
the  World  Court  represented  by  apparently  irrecon- 
cilable factions  is  difficult  to  understand.  Those  who 
object  to  any  connection,  however  slight,  with  the 
League  of  Nations;  those  who  believe  that  the  out- 
lawry of  war  is  a  paramount  issue  and  should  be 
substituted  for  the  World  Court;  why  is  it  that  all 
such  cannot  see  in  the  World  Court  the  first  step 
toward  a  common  understanding  with  other  nations, 
the  beginning  of  a  movement  which  promises  world 
peace?  Women,  I  believe,  see  the  moral  issue  of  the 
whole  question  and  are  impatient  of  the  slow,  cau- 
tiou.i  procedure  of  men  when  vital  questions  are  at 
stake.  But  we  must  wait,  certain  that  once  started 
such    a    movement    will    acquire    momentum,    and    as 


John  Dewey  has  lately  said:  "Unless  the  moral  sen- 
timent of  the  world  has  reached  the  point  of  con- 
demning war  there  is  nothing  that  can  be  done  about 
it.  If  it  has  reached  that  stage  then  that  condition 
should  be  crystallized  in  law."  And  again:  "The 
appeasment  of  the  world  can  never  be  brought  about 
so  long  as  the  public  conscience  and  public  law  re- 
main at  odds  with  each  other."  War,  like  other  ves- 
tiges of  an  anti-social,  uncivilized  character,  is  sim- 
ply an  indication  of  where  we  are,  how  far  along 
the  path  we  have  come,  and  we  certainly  err  in  our 
methods  of  attack  when  we  are  so  concerned  with 
ways  and  means  to  the  exclusion  of  an  investigation 
of  causes. 

We  have  lately  had  the  scientific  spirit  extolled  as 
the  true  method  of  approach  to  world  problems. 
Rarely  has  a  speaker  held  the  attention  of  the  Friday 
Morning  Club  so  completely  as  did  Dr.  Millikan  in 
his  address  on  the  "Significance  of  Modern  Science," 
and  the  "sweet  reasonableness"  of  the  scientific  mind 
made  an  instant  appeal.  We  were  told  that  the  scien- 
tific spirit  presupposes  careful,  dispassionate  investi- 
gation and  observation  of  facts,  an  open  mind  and  the 
substitution  of  reason  for  preconceived  opinions  and 
prejudice.  Applied  to  affairs  of  men,  this  would  lead 
to  a  true  civilization  as  a  substitute  for  the  laws  of 
the  jungle.  Evidences  of  the  lack  of  the  scientific 
spirit  are  not  far  to  seek  even  in  those  who  represent 
the  educated  class.  The  narrow  nationalism  which 
bars  internationalism,  the  narrow  patriotism  which 
would  distort  facts;  and  in  education  the  prejudice 
that  would  exclude  certain  text  books  from  the  public 
schools  because  they  did  not  foster  American  pride, 
are  but  a  few  of  the  instances  quoted  to  prove  how 
deeply  entrenched  are  the  enemies  of  light. 

Dr.  MUUkan  strongly  urged  the  teaching  of  more 
science  in  the  public-  schools.  Less  science  is  taught 
in  our  schools  than  in  those  of  most  other  civilized 
countries.  Not  only  do  children  need,  through  science, 
to  know  how  to  correctly  interpret  the  phenomena  of 
nature,  thejV/need,  also  to  acquire  the  scientific  method 
of  approach  to  all  subjects,  the  scientific  spirit  which 
investigates -'and  observes,  yyhich  dislodges  precon- 
ceived opinions  and  prejudice  and  makes  for  the 
open  mind,.  As  would-be  intelligent  women,  how 
greatly  we  rveed  to,  cultivate  this  spirit!  So  much 
has  been  said  about  the  intuitive  faculties  of  women 
that  it  would" often  seem  that  we  had  come  to  believe 
that  there  was  a  royal  road,  or  at  least  a  short  cut, 
to  knowledge;  at  any  rate  the  patient  laborious  way 
of  the  scientist  is  far  from  the  ordinary  way  by  which 
our  opinions  are  formed. 

Science  and  progress — are  they  true  correlatives? 
As  women  who  are  nothing  if  not  practical,  perhaps 
this  was  the  most  important  issue  Dr.  Millikan 
touched  upon,  and  we  could  wish  that  it  might  been 
even  more  elaborated.  Before  the  great  war  we 
might  never  have  formulated  such  a  question,  but 
now  that  it  has  been  so  forcefully  brought  home  to 
us  that  all  that  man  has  so  patiently  builded  may, 
through  science,  so  speedily  be  demolished,  an  answer 
seems  imperative.  Progress  as  a  prevalent  idea  came 
into  being  with  %vhat  we  now  call  modern  science,  and 
it  is  difficult  to  conceive  of  the  fact  that  before  that 
time  men  generally  had  no  belief  in  the  progress  of 
the  race;  if  anything,  it  was  their  belief  that  the 
golden  age  was  behind  them.  If  we  are  again  begin- 
ning to  question  the  fact  of  genuine  advancement 
we    may    well    ask    ourselves    why?      Dr.    Mlilikan's

The  CLUBfTOMAN 


THE  WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 


MONTH  OF  DECEMBER 
By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  Chairman 


THE  two  big  events  of  the  club  month  just  past 
were  musical.  The  first  was  the  concert  given 
by  the  club's  own  Choral  Section  on  the  evening 
of  Friday,  December  14.  The  second  was  the  appear- 
ance on  Wednesday  afternoon,  December  19,  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  Music  Society. 

The  concert  of  the  Choral  Section  was  an  old  fash- 
ioned one,  given  in  costume.  The  stage  was  set  as 
the  colonial  living  room  of  Mrs.  Eglantine  R.  Baier, 
a  popular  matron  of  Civil  War  times,  who  had  done 
much  to  gladden  the  hearts  of  the  returned  Civil  War 
soldiers.  Gathered  about  Mrs.  Baier  were  the  mem- 
bers of  her  neighborhood  singing  society  who  had 
come  to  her  home  for  the  dress  rehearsal  of  a  benefit 
concert.  With  Hugo  Kirchhofer  as  conductor,  Inez 
Jacobson  as  accompanist  and  a  dozen  men  assistants,

The  San  Francisco  Chamber  Music  Society  pre- 
sented a  program  of  Christmas  music.  This  society 
was  founded  in  1916  by  Elias  Hecht.  It  won  imme- 
diate recognition  on  the  coast  and,  last  year,  through 
its  appearance  at  the  Berkshire  Chamber  Music  Fes- 
tival, and  in  concerts  in  New  York,  Boston,  and  Phila- 
delphia, it  acquired  national  and  international  fame. 
It  has  also  the  unique  distinction  of  being  the  only 
first  rank  ensemble  of  international  reputation  whose 
personnel   is  entirely  American. 

Elias  Hecht,  founder,  is  a  flutist  and  the  first  Amer- 
ican artist  to  play  with  the  famous  Concert-Verein 
of  Munich.  Louis  Persinger,  director  and  first  vio- 
linist, is  a  graduate  of  the  Royal  Conservatory  at 
Leipzig  and  just  before  the  war,  he  was  elected  con- 
cert-master of  the  Berlin  Philharmonic  Orchestra  in 
competition_with  fifty  others.  Louis  Ford,  violinist, 
has  been  assistant  concert-master  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Symphony  Orchestra  and  has  won  high  honors 
as  a  soloist.  Nathan  Firestone  is  in  charge  of  the 
viola  desk.  Mr.  Firestone  was  solo  viola  with  the 
San  Francisco  Symphony  Orchestra  for  five  years. 
Walter  Ferner,  violin-'cellist,  was  formerly  solo  'cel- 
list of  the  Weisbaden  Royal  Orchestra.  Later  he  oc- 
cupied the  same  position  with  the  Philharmonic  Or- 
chestra of  Berlin,  and  on  his  return  to  the  United 
States,  he  was  engaged  by  the  Chicago  Symphony 
Orchestra  for  the  first  'cello  stand. 

By  obtaining  these  artists  to  give  their  Christmas 
musicale,  the  club  felt  that  it  had  made  a  distinct  con- 
tribution to  the  musical  activities  of  the  season. 

The  Juniors  occupied  a  prominent  place  in  the  past 
month's  activities.  Besides  their  regular  meetings, 
they  had  two  children's  Christmas  parties.  The  first 
on  Tuesday,  December  18,  was  attended  by  the  chil- 
dren of  senior  club  members.  They  brought  many 
gifts  which  were  distributed  at  the  second  party  on 
Thursday,  the  20th  inst.,  to  the  children  from  the  Los 
Angeles  Orphan  Asylum.  The  Juniors  held  their 
third  dance  of  the  season  the  night  after  Christmas 
and.  like  the  two  previous  ones,  it  was  a  huge  success. 
The  five  luncheons  of  the  month  were  given  res- 
pectively by  the  Literature,  Home  Economics,  Public 
Affairs,  Film  and  Art  Sections.  The  afternoon  pro- 
grams were  furnished  by  Dr,  Marion  Tracie  Whiting, 
who  entertained  with  some  of  the  songs  and  stories 
that  she  had  used  as  an  entertainer  in  the  camps  dur- 
ing the  World  War  and  by  Dr.  Robert  Freeman,  who 
spoke  on   "Alaska." 

The  Music  Section  gave  a  program  of  Spanish 
music  on  the  morning  of  December  5  and  a  Christ- 
mas musicale  on  the  morning  of  December  19.  The 
Spanish,  French,  Choral,  Shakespeare,  Browning, 
English  and  Bible  sections  held  their  regular  meetings. 


(Continued  from   Page   16) 
answer  was  that   science  must  be   informed   with   the 
altruistic  spirit;  that  the  religious  aspirations  of  man 
must   be    united    with    his    scientific    attainments,    thus 
only  can  the  true  progress  of  the  race  be  assured. 

What  of  education  in  the  light  of  this  answer? 
Since  the  hope  of  the  race  lies  in  the  education  of  its 
j'outh  is  it  not  all  important  that  scientist  and  edu- 
cators should  agree  upon  the  correlation  of  science 
and  progress,  or  the  welfare  of  the  race?  And  what 
does  this  imply  if  not  some  philosophy  of  life,  at  least 
enough  of  it  to  furnish  us  with  a  working  principle? 
Hand  in  hand  in  connection  with  extension  of  scien- 
tific training  do  we  not   need   the  teaching  of   a   new 


humanism?  Is  not  this  the  true  meaning  and  import 
of  ma'n's  responsibility,  his  conscious  participation  in 
race  progress?  A  whole  field  of  inquiry,  possibly 
controversy  is  thus  opened  up,  a  field  we  should  re- 
joice to  see  explored  to  its  utmost,  so  far  from  agree- 
ing are  we  upon  the  way  out  from  the  present  im- 
passe in  which  humanity  finds  itself.  Club  women 
are  indeed  fortunate  that  they  may  have  at  first  hand 
the  best  thought  of  eminent  men,  but  unless  their  re- 
actions show  themselves  in  thought  of  their  own,  un- 
less they  carry  on  to  some  degree  in  the  same  line  of 
intellectual  effort,  how  much  wiser  are  they?  Time 
to  think  upon  and  to  discuss  with  each  other  these 
really   important   issues    is    perhaps    our   most   serious

THE  MOTHER  OF  SOUTHLAND   CLUBS 

By  Blanche  Friend  Austin 


In  the  gray  room  of  the  Woman's  Clubhouse  of 
Santa  Monica  hangs  the  newly  framed  portrait  of  a 
woman,  the  picture  and  frame  done  in  golden  tones. 
It  is  a  portrait  of  Santa  Monica's  most  valuable  and 
most  valued  citizen,  Mrs.  D.  G.  Stephens,  of  whom 
it  was  said  twenty  years  ago:  "She  founded  every- 
thing worth  founding  in  Southern  Californina,"  and 
of  whom  it  may  be  said  today,  in  the  patois  of  the 
streets,  "she  is  still  going  strong."  For  today,  in  the 
eighty-sixth  year  of  her  life,  this  very  fine  woman 
still  sees  the  trail  forward,  and  is  still  a  pioneer  in 
modern  thought  and  action. 

On  Monday,  November  26,  the  Woman's  Club  of 
Santa  Monica,  of  which  she  was  the  first  President, 
and  is  now  President  Emeritus,  celebrated  Mrs.  Ste- 
phens' birthday,  as  it  does  each  year,  and  the  day  is 
always  known  to  the  community  as  Mrs.  Stephens' 
day.  As  is  usual  she  had  chosen  that  the  day  should 
be  devoted  to  a  social  service  program  in  the  club- 
house, open  to  the  public,  and  herself  procured  the 
speakers,  who  spoke  on  all  phases  of  the  social  serv- 
ice question.  There  was  a  huge  basket  of  roses  at 
the  honoree's  place  at  the  luncheon  table,  and  a 
shoiver  of  rose  petals  as  she  entered  the  dining  room. 

Fifty-eight  years  ago  Mrs.  Stephens  came  to  Cali- 
fornia, by  the  way  of  Panama,  a  journey  that  took  a 
month  to  complete.  She  at  once  took  her  place  in  the 
social  and  political  and  civic  life  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia. 

Woman's  Parliament 

The  women's  clubs  of  today  in  California,  with 
their    privileges    and    opportunities,    with    the    ballot, 


and  all  rights,  perhaps  do  not  know  that  they  owe 
it  all  to  Mrs.  Stephens,  for  it  was  her  founding  of  the 
Woman's  Parliament  that  later  developed  into  the 
club  life  of   Southern  California. 

The  call  was  made  to  the  women  of  the  counties 
of  San  Bernardino,  San  Diego,  Orange,  Los  Angeles, 
Ventura  and  Santa  Barbara,  and  the  first  meeting 
held  in  Unity  church,   November  15-16,  1892. 

Mrs.  Stephens  was  at  once  chosen  President,  and 
Mrs.  Frank  Gibson,   Secretary.' 

She  is  founder  of  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's 
Club,  and  its  President  Emeritus.  Was  a  member  of 
Mayor   Davis'   advisory  board   of   Santa   Monica. 

Mother  and  organizer  of  the  Santa  Monica  Parent- 
Teachers'  Associations.  First  Chairman  of  the  Santa 
Monica  Bay  Chapter  American  Red  Cross.  First 
Chairman  and  Organizer  of  the  Santa  Monica  Food 
Administration.  Vice-President  of  the  Woman's 
Board  of  the  Panama-Pacific  Exposition.  President 
of  the  Santa  Monica  Board  of  Education,  and  pre- 
sided at  the  dedication  of  the  beautiful  new  high 
school  when  she  was  on  the  board. 

She  was  the  organizer  of  the  municipal  Christmas 
tree  plan  in  Santa  Monica  and  tended  it  faithfully 
each  year  until  war  called  her  to  more  strenuous 
duties. 

Orphans'  Home 
When  helpless  little  waifs  in  Los  Angeles  needed  food, 
care  and  shelter,  neither  state  nor  municipality  had 
anything  to  offer  but  the  streets.  When  street  education 
should  make  criminals  of  the  unfortunate,  then  the

Enjoyment  of  the  best  in  foods  doesn't  involve  high  cost — so  much 
as — discrimination. 

Take  coffee, — as  an  instance : 

In  Jevne's  Brown  Mill — you  have  the  highest  grade — at  a  consider- 

able  saving  in  cost,  due  entirely  to  the  "economy"  package — instead 
of  the  extravagant  can. 

Jevne's  Brown  Alill  offers  the  means  for  a  sensible 
economy  in  coffee — without  the  sacrifice  of  quality.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE   WOMAN'S  UNIVERSITY  CLUB 

By  Katherine  Carr,  Press  Chairman 


THE  Woman's  University  Club  is  busy  at  present 
planning  for  the  annual  holiday  jinks  which  is 
by  far  the  greatest  social  occasion  of  the  year. 
It  is  to  be  given  in  the  theatre  at  the  Ambassador 
Hotel,  January  4,  and  is  to  take  the  form  of  a  masque 
which  is  being  written  by  Miss  Mary  Coble  in  colla- 
boration with  Miss  Adele  Humphrey,  Mrs.  Roger 
Sterrett  and  several  others.  Mr.  Gilmore  Brown, 
head  of  the  Community  Players  in  Pasadena,  has  been 
hired  to  produce  it.  The  parts  will  be  taken  by  the 
club   members. 

The  plot  and  details  are  being  kept  a  surprise.  It 
has  leaked  out,  however,  that  it  is  to  be  quite  the  most 
mirth-provoking  production,  with  the  most  impossible 
situations,  that  the  club  has  ever  attempted.  Members 
may  have  all  the  guests  they  want  by  buying  tickets 
for  them  and  all  the  college  women  in  Los  Angeles 
and  vicinity  whether  members  of  the  club  or  not  have 
been  invited. 

A  luncheon  in  the  Cocoanut  Grove  will  precede  the 
program,  to  which   guests   are  also   allowed. 

The  activities  for  the  month  have  been  the  first 
Saturday  of  the  month  luncheon  at  the  Elite  at  which 
Mrs.  Ethel  Swan  read  "Mary,  Mary,  Quite  Contrary" 
and  Dr.  Irene  Myers  of  Occidental  College  gave  her 
delegate's  report  of  the  national  convention  of  the  As- 
sociation of  American  University  Women  at  Portland 
last  June  and  Miss  Anne  Mumford  gave  her  report 
as  a  delegate  to  the  state  convention  of  the  same 
society   in    Oakland    last   summer. 

The  midmonth  meeting  combined  with  the  English 
Association  in  a  luncheon  at  the  Elite  Thursday,  De- 
cember 20.  Dr.  E.  W.  Chubb,  dean  of  the  Ohio  Uni- 
versity, was  the  speaker.  After  the  luncheon  all  went 
to  the  Fine  Arts  Theater  on  Grand  avenue  to  hear 
an  address  by  Maurice  Browne,  director  of  the  School 
of  the  Arts  of  the  Theatre  of  San  Francisco  on  "Poet 
or   Critic." 

The  annual  children's  Christmas  party  was  given 
on  December  21,  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  E.  C.  Pyle,  400 
South  St.  Andrews  Boulevard  and  was  largely  at- 
tended by  the  children  of  members  who  according  to 
custom  brought  gifts  for  less  fortunate  children.  It 
had  been  planned  originally  to  have  this  party  at  the 
Orthopedic  Hospital  so  that  the  little  unfortunates 
there   could    share   in   the   merry   making   but    an    epi- 


demic of  colds  in  the  hospital  caused  a  change  of 
plans. 

The  club  may  not  take  possession  of  the  Trippet 
house  which  was  bought  last  month  as  a  club  house 
until  next  April  for  Mrs.  Trippet  has  asked  as  a 
special  favor  that  she  be  allowed  to  retain  possession 
until  that  time.  It  will  be  put  to  a  vote  of  the  club  at 
the  next  meeting. 

The  campaign  for  life  memberships  is  being  waged 
indefatigably.  It  is  planned  to  pay  for  the  house, 
which  cost  $50,000,  by  selling  200  life  memberships 
at  $250  each.  In  this  way  the  house  will  be  paid  for 
in  cash.  Eighty  have  already  been  sold.  Many  have 
taken  them  without  making  a  deposit  and  many  more 
have  signified  their  intention  to  do  so  as  soon  as 
Christmas,  taxes  and  income  tax  are  past.  If  no 
more  are  sold,  however,  the  first  payment  of  $20,000 
is   assured. 

On  the  list  of  life  members  are:  Hiss  Ellen  An- 
drews, Mrs.  R.  D.  Ball,  Miss  Sue  Barnwell,  Miss 
Alma  Brigham,  Mrs.  Edward  Brooks,  Mrs.  J.  J. 
Brown,  Mrs.  H.  Kenyon  Burch,  Mrs.  Robert  J.  Bur- 
dette.  Miss  Katherine  Carr,  Miss  Marie  Coble,  Miss 
Marie  Collison,  Miss  Elizabeth  Cook,  Mrs.  Thomas 
F.  Cook,  Mrs.  Michael  J.  Creamer,  Mrs.  George 
Curtis  De  Garmo,  Mrs.  Thomas  Divine,  Mrs.  Arthur 
Dole,  Mrs.  Birney  Donnell,  Mrs.  Seneca  Dorr,  Mrs. 
Susan  M.  Dorsey,  Mrs.  Samuel  C.  Dunlap,  Miss  Roby 
T.  Elwood,  Mrs.  Blanche  D.  Field,  Mrs.  Frank  A. 
Ferguson,  Mrs.  John  A.  Ferguson,  Mrs.  J.  T.  Fisher, 
Miss  Josephine  Ginaca,  Miss  Blanche  G.  Graham, 
Miss  Ray  Hanna,  Mrs.  Russell  J.  Heath,  Mrs.  Paul 
D.  Hoffman,  Miss  Alice  N.  Hindson,  Miss  Adele 
Humphrey,  Mrs.  Eugene  F.  Kline,  Dr.  Mary  Greene 
Korstad,  Miss  Bertha  Lebus,  Mrs.  Edmund  Locke, 
Mrs.  Norman  Macbeth,  Mrs.  Eleanor  Banning  Mac- 
farlane,  Mrs.  A.  M.  Marsh,  Mrs.  Peter  McManus, 
Mrs.  J.  W.  MacNair,  Miss  Mary  K.  Miller,  Mrs. 
K.  A.  Miller,  Dr.  Dorothea  Moore,  Mrs.  Leslie  Mott, 
Mrs.  Florence  Crow  Mull,  Miss  Anne  Mumford,  Mrs. 
W.  H.  Olds,  Miss  Bertha  Oliver,  Mrs.  John  Osborne, 
Miss  Elizabeth  Pepper,  Miss  T.  Pettingill,  Miss  Min- 
nie Reed,  Mrs.  Mary  E.  S.  Richardson,  Miss  Gene- 
vieve Rimpau,  Mrs.  James  B.  Robinson,  Miss  Jose- 
phine Scott,  Miss  Edith  Spencer,  Mrs.  Charles  F.

strong  arm  of  the  law  could  reach  out  and  send  them 
to  prison,  but  otherwise  it  could  afford  no  protection. 
Facing  these  conditions  and  realizing  that  if  the 
children  were  to  be  saved,  morally  and  physically,  it 
must  be  by  individual  effort,  a  few  benevolent  men 
and  women  met  and  organized  the  Los  Angeles  Home 
Society  July,  1880.  This  society  was  the  nucleus  for 
a  board  of  managers  for  what  is  now  known  as  the 
Los  Angeles  Orphans'  Home.  Mrs.  D.  G.  Stephens 
of  Santa  Monica  was  the  guiding  spirit,  and  for 
twenty-two  years  the  president  of  the  great  institu- 
tion. 

Mrs.  Stephens  is  president  of  the  Community  Service 


organization  at  Santa  Monica,  which  she  recently 
organized,  and  which  is  proving  a  great  blessing  to 
the  city.

THE   WINTER   SOLSTICE    IN  LOS  ANGELES  DISTRICT 

C.  F.  W.  C. 


By  Grace  Frye 


With  "Joy"  the  brand  new  gavel  welcomed  nearly 
1500  women  assembled  in  Trinity  Auditorium  the 
morning  of  November  H  to  honor  Mrs.  Thomas  G. 
Winter,  President  of  the  General  Federation  of  Wom- 
en's Clubs.  For  the  district  board  had  presented  its 
President,  Eleanor  "Joy"  Toll  with  this  gavel  for  the 
occasion  so  long  anticipated. 

*  «     »     # 

Perhaps  that's  why  the  assembly  laughed  easily 
when  nineteen  boys  unexpectedly  marched  in  with 
the  two  groups  of  school  children,  who  gave  chorus 
songs.  For  Mrs.  Toll  had  announced  them  as  "poten- 
tial club-women  and  mothers."  As  this  was  also  a 
surprise  to  her,  she  explained  that  her  introduction 
would  have  been  different  had  she  known.  "But,  after 
all,"  she  said,  "it  takes  the  two  elements,  masculine 
and  feminine,  working  together  to  accomplish  the 
great  things  in  life,  and  co-federation  has  been  pro- 
mulgated mostly  by  men." 

*  «     *     ■*■ 

"There  are  many  reasons  why  we  have  prospered 
in  the  California  federation,"  continued  Mrs.  Toll. 
"We  owe  much  to  one  pioneer  woman  living  in  this 
district  for  many  years.  Caroline  M.  Severance  has 
been  called  the  "Mother  of  Clubs,"  but  Mrs.  Robert 
J.  Burdette  is  the  living  mother  of  clubs  and  there 
has  not  been  a  progressive  movement  that  she  has 
not  sponsored." 

*  *     *     * 

One  reproach  there  was  in  this  great  meeting. 
About  two  hundred  seats  were  accusingly  empty. 
And  the  women  who  kept  those  tickets,  so  punctilious- 
ly reserved  for  them  by  Mrs.  Toll  have  something  to 
think  about,  for  there  were  many  hundreds  anxious 
for  the  privilege  of  attending  and  it  had  been  re- 
peatedly requested  that  tickets  not  to  be  used  should 
be  returned. 

^  'Si  ^  ^; 

And  did  anyone  notice  that  there  was  one  steady, 
and  two  intermittent,  men  in  the  balcony  audience? 
They  sat  in  the  very  last  rows,  listened  intently,  and 
we  hope  learned  something  of  woman's  job  and  how 
it  has  "evolved"  from  its  one-time  object  of  "chil- 
dren, church  and  cooking." 

It  must  have  seemed  good  to  Mrs.  Urquhart  to 
gaze  into  the  hundreds  of  familiar  faces,  who  recog- 
nized her  appearance  after  a  two  weeks'  absence  by 
a  round  of  hearty  applause.  As  State  President  of 
the  C.  F.  W.  C.  she  has  had  contact  with  eleven  coun- 
ties during  this  trip  and  had   spoken  many  times. 

*  *     *     * 

"I  don't  want  you  to  say  'way  out  here',"  plaintively 
stated  Mrs.  Winter,  "I  want  you  to  say  'hexe'."  And 
she  at  once  gained  the  sympathy  of  the  entire  audi- 
ence when  she  explained:  "You  know  the  privilege 
of  living  here  was  snatched  from  me  by  ruthless 
parents,  it  was  not  from  choice." 

*  *     *     * 

"Poor,  dear  Mrs.  Winter',"  we  thought — "what 
could  she  not  have  done  had  her  parents  shown  better 

I  judgment."  Then  we  remembered  what  she  told  the 
press  at  the  pre-view  m«eting.  Quoting  exactly,  .this 
is  what  she  said:  "There  is  an  old  saying  which 
states  that  if  you  can  have  a  person  for  the  first 
seven  years  you  are  responsible  for  what  that  person 
makes  out  of  life.  As  I  was  a  native  of  this  State 
from   the   age   of   eight  months   to   the    age    of    seven 


have   become." 

*  *     *     * 

The  attention  of  the  Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  respectfully  and  commercially  called  to  the 
above  statement. 

And  then  Mrs.  Winter,  with  oratorical  force,  told 
something  of  the  aims  and  accomplishments  of  this 
great  federation  of  2,800,000  organized  women.  "The 
only  movement  in  history  entirely  altruistic,"  she  said, 
"It  is  without  bias,  without  partisanship  and  without 
self-seeking." 

"Women  have  gone  down  into  the  dust,  longing  for 
what  you  are  having  today,"  she  continued.  "The 
thing  that  drove  most  women  into  club  activities  was 
because  we  could  no  longer  isolate  our  homes.  You 
can't  have  a  red  light  district  without  the  poison  gas 
filling  the  room  in  which  your  children  sleep.  Be- 
cause they  were  dirty  in  Asia  we  had  the  grippe  in 
America.  Home  is  the  ultimate  reward  of  living.  If 
a  man  goes  out  to  his  work  he  generally  fails  unless 
he  finds  this  reward;  so  does  the  child.  They  need 
that  one  spot  where  there  is  understanding  and  love 
and  home  must  first  of  all  be  genuine;  it  is  the  one 
spot    where    there    is    understanding,    inspiration    and 

rest  for  the  soul." 

»     *     *     * 

"Housework  creates  the  body  in  which  the  soul 
lives  and  today  a  woman  must  be  an  expert  in  fifty- 
nine  trades  to  be  a  good  home-maker.  Home  is  the 
fundamental  labor  of  the  United  States,  and  accord- 
ing to  government  figures,  this  unpaid  work  of  the 
women  here  amounts  to  nearly  eleven  billion  dollars 
annually.  Yet  women  who  are  listed  as  "house- 
wives" are  not  registered  by  tht  census  as  "wage 
earners."  Home  work  is  just  as  productive  as  the 
factory.  The  average  rural  woman  labors  from 
eleven  to  thirteen  hours  each  day  and  twenty  million 
women  are  doing  this  unpaid  work  that  is  not  digni- 
fied by  the  name  of  "labor."  Not  that  I  believe  in 
wages  for  wives.  I  don't  believe  that  a  mother 
should  receive  five  cents  every  time  she  wipes  the 
baby's  nose  or  ten  cents  every  time  she  kisses  her 
husband  goodbye.  ...  It  is  the  one  occupation 
that  has  not  been  lifted'  to'  labor  and  so  it  makes  of 
housework,  drudgery.  Although  there  is  drudgery  in 
everything  human-kind  does.  ...  A  good  home- 
maker  needs  training  and  the  General  Federation  is 
beginning  a  great  movement  to  correlate  all  of  the 
elements  of  home,  the  place  where  the  body  is  made 
healthy  for  the  building  of  the  soul. 

*  *     *     * 

"I  like  the  women  who  know  what  it  is  to  elim- 
inate the  un-essentials.  During  the  war  we  didn't 
care  if  there  were  embroidered  towels  in  the  bath 
room  or  on  which  side  our  dresses  hung,  and  I  hope 
the  interests  of  peace  will  be  as  strong  as  the  inter- 
ests of  war.  I  ask  this  of  everything  in  my  house — • 
is  it  worth  dusting  fifty-two  times  a  year?  In  good 
society  a  generation  ago  Longfellow  entertained  my 
parents  and  served  bread  and  butter,  applesauce  and 
gingerbread,  and  this  simplicity  would  be  as  good 
today.  The  essential  thing  is  that  the  home  should 
be  a  place  of  rest  for  body  and  spirit.  The  greatest 
reception  in  the  world  was  held  in  a  manger  and  no 
one  cared  for  the  straw,  it  was  not  necessary  to  have 
beautiful  tapestry  and   upholstering."

ber fifteenth,  at  the  club  rooms  at  1500  South  Fig- 
ueroa   street. 

The  members  of  the  club  veho  participated  in  the 
play   were:

Mrs.   Harry  Bender,  The   Dark  Lady. 

Mrs.  George  Roth,  Attorney  for  the  Dark  Lady.

arid  Mrs.  Robert  L.  Gillespie,  Innocent  Bystanders. 

Mrs.   H.   A.   McClair,   A   Flapper.

Mrs.  Walter  Raymond  Gillette,  who  is  identified 
with  a  number  of  dramatic  movements  in  the  city, 
directed  the  comedy. 

A  turkey  dinner  was  served  before  the  presentation 
of  the  play.  The  president,  Mrs.  Frederick  B.  West, 
presided.  Mr.  Frayne  Williams  responded  to  the 
toast,  "The  Dark  Lady  of  the  Sonnets  and  Other  His- 
torical Sirens."  Mrs.  H.  F.  Purition  responded  to 
that  of  the  "Defense  of  William  Shakespeare."  A 
vote  of  thanks  was  given  Mrs.  Robinson  for  the  after- 
noon's  unique   and   delightful   entertainment. 

The  Shakespeare  class  will  not  meet  until  the  sec- 
ond Tuesday  in  January,  when  the  study  of  "King 
John"  will  be   resumed. 


THE  COSMOS  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  George  H.  Winsworth,  Press  Chairman 

Under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Leiland  Atherton 
Irish  who  has  been  actively  engaged  on  the  Execu- 
tive Board  of  The  Cosmos  Club  for  the  past  ten 
years.  The  Cosmos  Club  took  up  this  year's  work 
with  an  impetus  that  usually  companions  youth.  Mrs. 
Irish  is  a  young  woman  and  her  devotion  to  club 
work  is  evidenced  by  the  activities  of  this  exclusive 
club. 

Throughout  the  past  months,  every  branch  of  de- 
partmental work  has  flourished  under  the  direction 
of  Mrs.  Joseph  Simons,  General  Curator.  Cosmos 
boasts  a  Philanthropy  department  so  large  that  it  is 
now  organized  with  its  own  presiding  officer,  Mrs. 
George  Barrow  and  secretarv  Mrs.  Eugene  J.  Hughes 
for  which  the  October  bazaar  provided  most  satis- 
factorily  a   checking   account  for   their  work. 

In  the  conference  work  department  of  the  federa- 
tion, Mrs.  Irish  reports  an  active  working  chairman, 
attending  every  conference  meeting  held  in  the  Junior 
Orpheum  Building  with  the  exception  of  two.  These 
will  be  filled  when  the  right  workers  for  them  are 
located.  We  do  not  furnish  dead  timber  and  the 
reason  we  do  not,  is  "that  every  member  chosen  to 
fill  a  particular  position  was  chosen,  first,  because  she 
was  the  eligible  one;  then  she  was  consulted  to  see 
if  she  would  enjoy  it  and  the  result  was,  that  finally 
when  each  chairman  was  provided,  her  "work  was 
well  done  and  a  joy  for  she  was  happy  in  it." 

Cosmos  Club  has  been  organized  and  federated  for 
nineteen  years  and  has  been  meeting  in  The,  Ebell 
Club  House,  1719  South  Figueroa  Street,  for  four- 
teen years  of  that  time.  The  membership  is  limited 
to    one    hundred    and    fifty    members    only,    with    the 


entire  membership  active.  .  "Coroperation  is  our  an- 
swer if  we  really  are  a  successful  club,"  said  the 
president  at  the  club  luncheon  held  Tuesday.  "We 
are  organized  for  the  social,  philanthropic  and  lit- 
erary development  of  our  members  and  afford  a 
channel  for  each  one  that  takes  advantage  of  its 
privileges."  Meetings  are  held  every  second  and 
fourth    Tuesday. 

Another  thing  that  the  club  is  very  proud  to  con- 
fess is  that  Mrs.  Irish  has  been  chosen  by  Mrs. 
Charles  H.  Toll,  president  of  the  District  Federation 
of  Women's  Clubs,  to  replace  Mrs.  Townsend  as 
press  chairman  to  the  district.  Mrs.  Townsend, 
through  ill  health,  has  resigned  this  office  and  the 
Cosmos  Club  is  very  proud  to  supply  a  member  of 
the  District  Board.  "We  consider  it  our  privilege 
to   serve  the  Federation." 


AZUSA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By   Ruby   La    Verte   Thomson,   Press    Chairman 

There  is  a  very  beautiful  legend  which  tells  us  of 
a  knight  of  old  who  caused  to  be  inscribed  upon  his 
shield  these  simple  words,  "I  serve."  No  greater 
motto  has  ever  been  conceived  by  mortal  man,  and 
any  organization  founded  upon  this  princiole  proves 
its   right  to  continued   existence. 

Several  years  ago,  a  small  group  of  women  in 
Azusa,  actuated  by  this  spirit,  organized  the  Azusa 
Woman's  Club  and  dedicated  it  to  works  of  service  in 
the  community.  Small,  struggling  and  ambitious,  the 
club  determined  very  soon  to  "own  its  own  home." 
The  members  purchased  a  well  located  property  and, 
after  negotiating  a  first  mortgage  loan,  erected  there- 
upon a  most  attractive  club  house.  Just  two  years 
ago  the  mortgage  was  burned  before  an  enthusiastic 
audience, — and   the  club's   home   was   its  own. 

The  club  has  ever  been  forunate  in  being  directly 
under  the  leadership  of  women  imbued  with  the  idea 
of  helpfulness.  Mrs.  B.  F.  Spriggs,  the  able  and 
efficient  president,  exemplifies  this  throughout  her 
management  of  the  organization.  Too,  she  is  firmly 
convinced  that  in  order  for  a  member  to  be  thoroughly 
interested  in  her  club,  each  must  have  a  share  in  the 
club's  work.  This  theorj'  has  proved  sound  in  prac- 
tice, for  the  membership  is  always  enthusiastic,  al- 
ways eager  to  discover  new  ways  in  which  to  be 
of  service.  It  is  a  matter  of  pride,  in  fact,  that 
the  club's  aid  and  co-operation  is  sought  whenever 
civic  improvement  or   legislation   is  contemplated. 

The  several  committees  of  the  club  are  indeed  work- 
ing committees.  Perhaps  the  program  committee, 
under  the  directorship  of  Mrs.  W.  C.  Constant,  should 
receive  first  mention,  for  the  programs  are  truly 
worth-while,  having  been  chosen  with  the  three-fold 
purpose  of  furnishing,  properly  blended,  the  elements 
of  entertainment,  education  and  inspiration.  This 
year  the  study  section  is  laboring  in  deadly  earnest. 
Mrs.  J.  T.  Lindley,  enthusiastic  leader,  is  resolved 
on  securing  the  maximum  of  good  from  this  course 
for  each  member.  "Early  Painters,"  the  outlined 
work  for  this  season,  has  been  made  doubly  inter- 
esting through  the  generosity  of  Mr.  Keith  Vosburg, 
who  has  loaned  his  complete  collection  of  prints  taken 
from  old  paintings  to  the  class. 

Mrs.  Edwin  Mace  deserves  special  commendation 
for  her  devotion  to  the  Americanization  cause.  Her 
committee,  which  meets  regularly  with  departments 
from  other  organizatiojis  which  are  engaged  in 
this  work,  keeps  the  club  closely  in  touch  with  every 
phrase  of  this  special  line  of  endeavor  with  gratify- 
ing  results. 

Nor  is  the  social  side  of  club  life  neglected.  The 
many  luncheons,  parties  and  dances  provide  delightful

entertainment  while  proving  a  decided  aid  to  the 
club  exchequer.  At  the  close  of  each  regular  meet- 
ing, a  very  enjoyable  social  hour  is  held,  refresh- 
ments being  served  by  the  hostesses  of  the  day,  vrhile 
a  general  air  of  good-fellowship  pervades  every 
corner   of  the   hospitable  club   rooms. 

The  Azusa  Woman's  Club  feels  that  it  has  a  defin- 
ite place  in  the  community,  a  very  necessary  work  to 
accomplish;  and  every  new  utidertaking  is  approached 
in  the  spirit  which  is  best  expressed  by  the  words 
of  the  club  motto, — 'In  small  things,  Unity;  in  great 
things.  Liberality;   in   all  things,   Charity." 


SATURDAY   AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  DOWNEY 

By   Judith    McKellar,   Press    Chairman 

Yuletide  festivities  featured  the  Christmas  party 
given  by  the  Saturday  Afternoon  Club  of  Downey,  at 
the  club  house  Wednesday  afternoon,  Dec.  19.  The 
programme  was  in  charge  of  the  Juvenile  Section,  Mrs. 
Hogan  Willeford,  directing.  A  short  program  was 
given  by  the  children,  and  a  tree  with  presents  to 
gladden  the  heart  of  each  little  one  was  the  principal 
attraction. 

On  December  20  a  community  childrens'  Christ- 
mas tree  was  arranged  by  the  Social  Welfare  com- 
mittee, with  Mrs.  Frank  Otto  in  charge;  Miss  Sereva 
Dowell  of  the  high  school  faculty  explained  in  Span- 
ish the  significance  of  Christmas  celebration  and  a 
group  of  Mexican  children  sang  "Holy  Night." 
Wednesday,  December  19,  a  committee  with  Mrs. 
Mary  Bartells  chairman,  met  at  the  clubhouse  and 
made  candy  for  the  inmates  of  the  County  Farm. 
The  club  has  observed  this  custom  for  several  years. 

Another  feature  of  the  week's  activities  was  a 
jelly  shower  given  for  the  Children's  Hospital  in 
Los  Angeles.  A  touching  feature  of  this  collection, 
was  the  adding  of  several  glasses,  donated  by  the 
little  Mexican  children  who  bought  it  for  that  pur- 
pose. Mrs.  Lillian  B.  Robinson,  president  of  the 
club,  will  deliver  the  donatiiin  lo  the  hospital. 

The  club,  realizing  the  necessity  of  cnlifging  and 
remodeling  the  club  house  which  they  have  out- 
grown, are  planning  a  number  of  entertainments  to 
raise  funds  for  this  purpose.  The  first  of  these  was 
a  banquet,  served  by  the  Ways  and  Means  Com- 
mittee to  the  Downey  Real  Estate  Board  on  Monday, 
December    17. 

The  regular  Chamber  of  Commerce  banquet,  which 
has  been  served  by  the  club  annually  for  years,  will 
be   on   January    8. 

Th«  club  hopes,  in  the  near  future  to  realize  the 
plans  of  a  larger,  more  commodious  home  that  will 
better  serve  the  community's  need. 


FREE  TO  CLUBS 

The  Women's  Bureau  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Labor  has  a  number  of  exhibits  which  are  loaned 
free  of  charge  to  organizations  or  individuals  who 
iadicate  that  they  can  use  them  to  advantage.  Among 
the  exhibits  are:  A  large  exhibit,  six  feet  high  by 
fifteen  feet  wide,  showing  the  importance  of  women 
in  industry,  and  the  significance  to  the  community 
of  their  hours  and  earnings;  a  model  factory,  four 
feet  long  by  three  feet  high,  giving  a  graphic  and 
attractive  presentation  of  ideal  factory  conditions ; 
the  theatre  exhibit,  consisting  of  six  units  each  il- 
lustrating a  different  standard  such  as  the  living 
wage,  the  eight-hour  day,  and  proper  seating,  light- 
ing, sanitation,  and  lunch-room  facilities  for  women 
workers.  All  of  these  different  exhibits  are  effectively 
lighted,   making   them   most   attractive. 


The  Bureau  also  lends  a  two-reel  motion  picture 
film,  called  "When  Women  Work,"  illustrating  the 
lives  of  two  girls,  one  working  under  good  and  the 
other  bad  conditions;  and  large  colored  charts  and 
maps  showing  women's  wages  and  hours  and  the 
status  of  legislation  affecting  them  in  the  various 
states. 

These  exhibits  are  loaned  with  the  understanding 
that  the  borrower  vpill  pay  transportation  to  and  from 
Washington  and  be  responsible  for  their  return  in 
good  condition.  Those  interested  in  securing  any 
of  this  material  should  write  to  the  Women's  Bureau, 
U.   S.   Department  of  Labor,   Washington,    D.   C. 


In  furtherance  of  the  government's  desire  to  ec- 
quaint  all  Californians  with  their  own  Yosemite  Na- 
tional Park,  Earl  H.  Maize,  official  lecturer  of  the 
Yosemite  National  Park  Company,  is  again  offering  his 
lecture,  "Yosemite  in  Winter,"  and  others,  to  civic 
bodies,  schools,  churches,  or  wherever  a  representa- 
tive   audience   will   be    assured. 

Details  of  these  lectures  are  contained  in  a  pub- 
lished leaflet.  There  is  no  charge  whatever  con- 
nected with  the  lectures,  it  simply  being  the  desire 
to  bring  Y'osemite  before  as  many  people  as  possible. 

Mr.  Maize  plans  to  be  in  Southern  California  for 
about  a  week  or  so  about  January  10.  Arrangements 
may  be  made  by  communicating  with  John  M.  Cam- 
eron, Los  Angeles  agent  of  the  Yosemite  National 
Park  Company,  511  South  Spring  Street,  Los  Angeles. 


THE  AVERILL  STUDY 
CLUB 

By  Harriette  L.  Rundel,  Press  Chairman 

The  Averill  Study  Club  is  still  working — with  eyes 
and  brain  alert  and  reaching  for  its  place  next  higher 
than  it  has  yet  attained,  for  it  believes  in  development 
of  all  its  faculties  to  make  life  capable  of  higher 
attainments. 

The  programs  of  the  past  month  have  been  excel- 
lent. The  Christmas  party — held  on  December  18 
at  the  home  of  Mrs.  J.  P.  Dodge,  was  most  enjoyable 
in  every  way.  Each  member  contributed  one  gift 
and  each  received  one.  These  were  concealed  in  a 
Yule  log  very  cleverly  prepared,  drawn  in  by  two 
tiny  maidens  dressed  one  in  red  and  one  in  green 
tarlatan.  Members  also  contributed  money  to  be 
used  for  bringing  cheer  into  needy  homes. 

Christmas  carols  were  sung  and  other  entertain- 
ment, including  refreshments,  made  the  day  one  of 
real    Christmas   cheer. 

So  the  Averill  Study  Club  enters  the  new  year — 
looking  for  new  problems  to  solve,  or  at  least  to  study. 


HIGHLAND  PARK  EBELL 
CLUB 

By   Mrs.   George   F.    Cook,   Press   Chairman 

In  harmony  with  the  Christmas  spirit  was  the  musi- 
cal program,  "The  Prince  of  Light"  offered  by  Ruth- 
ellen  Miller,  soprano,  assisted  by  the  Southland  Trio 
at  Highland  Park  Ebell  Club  on  Tuesday  morning, 
December  18. 

Enjoyable  holiday  club  functions  were  a  dancing 
party  on  the  evening  of  December  27  for  the  mem- 
bers and  their  sons  and  daughters  and  for  the  Ram- 
blers an  afternoon  reception  at  the  home  of  their 
curator,  Mrs.  Samuel  Weston  Hastings,  on  December 
28. 

Mrs.  Harry  Louis  Stroh,  president,  very  appropri- 
ately placed  her  Christmas  message  as  follows,  on  the 
December    program    leaflet: 

"No    life    is    really    happy    until    it    is    helpful;    is

"May  the  Divine  Love  so  fill  our  hearts  with  joy 
and  peace  that  we  may  become  radiant  fights  to  those 
around  us." 

During  the  December  meetings,  a  very  interesting 
session  included  experiences  of  trips  abroad  by  two 
of  the  members, 

Mrs.  C.  M.  Gordon  gave  a  graphic  account  of  "A 
Trip  Around  the  World,"  and  Miss  Martha  Winans 
gave  "Several  Spotlights  on  Europe,"  with  many  hum- 
orous  touches. 

The  talks  were  preceded  by  a  musical  program 
by  Martha  Forsyth,  violinist,  and  Dorothy  Van  Bus- 
kirk   at   the   piano. 

On  Public  Affairs  Day,  after  club  singing  with  the 
enthusiastic  leader,  J.  A.  Lewis  with  Ruth  Towne 
Smith,  accompanist.  Miss  Lloy  Galpin,  district  chair- 
man of  International  Relations,  G.  F.  W.  C,  gave  an 
address  on   "The  Triumph  of  Intelligencei" 

After  the  regular  monthly  luncheon  on  December 
4.,  Mrs.  Dan  Hammack  gave,  a  list  of  books  suitable 
for  Christmas  gifts,  before  the  Literature  Section. 
Mrs.  A.  B.  Cooke,  of  Los  Angeles  Ebell,  reveiwed 
"Quare   Women." 

The  Music  Section  enjoyed  a  review  of  the  be- 
ginnings of  American  Music  by  the  curator,  Mrs. 
Harry  Fisher.  Handel's  Messiah  was  studied  and  a 
musical  program  was  given  by  club  members  illus- 
trating different  periods  of  music. 

Miss  M.  Winifred  Rouzee  gave  the  Bible  Section 
a  vivid  account  of  her  travels,  describing  the  trip 
from  China  to  Egypt   and  the  pyramids. 

Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  state  chairman  of  Birds  and 
Flowers,  C.  F.  W.  C.-,  gave  an  instructive  talk  on 
Meadow  Larks,  Black  Birds  and  Orioles  before  the 
Bird  and  Flower  Section.  The  talk  was  illustrated 
with  bird  skins. 


AMERICAN    MUSIC    OPTI- 
MISTS CLUB 

B;!  iAdel.wdE  TrowbriBce,  President 

The  Aiiiefican  Music  Optimists'  Club  began  its 
year  October  19  with  a  formal  program  under  the 
direction  of  Madame  Anna  Sprotte,  presented  in  the 
new  Recital  Hall  of  the  Southern  California  Music 
Company.  The  artists  of  the  evening  were  Evelyn 
Paddock  Smith  and  Z.  5arl  Meeker,  who  gave  inter- 
esting groups  of  American  compositions,  Mr.  Meeker 
featuring  two  local  composers,  Gertrude  Ross  and 
Homer   Grunn. 

Special  guests  of  the  evening  wereintroduced  by  the 
president.  These  included  several  new  members  of 
the  musical  colony  and  others  actively  engaged  in  the 
artistic  life  of  the  community. 

In  addition  to  Mrs.  Cecil  Frankel's  announcement 
of  the  Scholarship  Loan  Fund,  Mrs.  Virginia  Good- 
sell  Byrne  outlined  the  plan  of  her  committee  in  the 
formation  of  a  Junior  Auxiliary.  This  met  with  a 
hearty  response  from  the  club  and  it  is  hoped  that 
much  good  may  come  from  the  work  of  this  group 
of   Juniors. 

The  November  meeting  took  the  form  of  an  infor- 
mal gathering  of  members  only.  A  most  profitable 
discussion  of  the  club's  affairs  and  future  plans  was 
made  possible  by  this  occasion. 

The  December  meeting  was  a  festive  holiday  time, 
a  Christmas  program,  followed  by  a  jolly  mingling 
of  members  and  guests. 

While  this  is  a  mere  chronicle  of  the  club's  meet- 
ings, individual  members  have  been  active  in  pro- 
fessional work  and  have  been  called  upon  to  serve 
in    furthering   the   civic   interests. 

The  club  expects  to  enter  the  New  Year  with  in- 
creased  energy  in  stressing  American  music. 


LOS  ANGELES  AUDUBON  SOCIETY 

Mrs.  Robert  Fargo,  Press  Chairman 


Audubon  Societies  usually  are  composed  of  women 
and  men.  This  joint  membership  naturally  gives 
greater  financial  strength  and  much  discussion  re- 
garding legislation  and  related  problems,  with  even- 
ing meetings. 

The  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society  is  a  women's 
club  and  holds  an  afternoon  program  meeting  and 
a  field-day,  each  once  a  month.  It  has  the  distinc- 
tion of  being  the  only  Audubon  Society  in  the  United 
States  which  is  federated.  While  Audubon  work  is 
different  from  that  of  any  of  the  other  clubs,  federa- 
tion is  just  as  helpful  to  it  as  to  the  others.  On  every 
side  is  stressed  "Why  do  we  federate?"  We  find  the 
federation  our  best  channel  for  publicity.  Through  it 
we  have  the  opportunity  of  coming  in  contact  with 
other  clubs  and  exploiting  the  meaning  and  necessity 
of  bird  study.  In  no  other  way  can  we  reach  or  I 
might  say,  touch  so  large  a  public.  Although  the 
^t^idy  of  birds  and  Nature  is  past  the  age  of  infancy, 
t'he  majority  of  our  people  do  not  know  that  the  time 
has  come  when  we  must  protect  our  wild  life.  This 
work  may  from  one  angle,  be  called  philanthropic 
in  that  through  it  interest  is  incited  that  leads  to 
active  participation  in  preserving  this  heritage  for 
the    coming   generations. 

Being  federated  gives  the  privilege  of  press  con- 
ferences where  our  press  chairman  may  make  her  bow 
and  let  her  club  become  known.  Here  she  gets  much 
information  as  to  writing  notices  and  how  and  when 
to   get   them   into   the   papers.      Federation   brings   the 


inspiring  Presidents'  Councils  where  we  may  cull 
from  the  overflow  of  ideas  and  methods  whatever 
may  be  utilized  by  us.  Without  federation  there 
would  be  no  Reciprocity  Days  which  just  at  present 
are  of  supreme  intreset  to  us.  We  have  invited  some 
two  hundred  and  fifty  of  our  federated  friends  to 
meet  with  us  on  January  the  seventeenth  in  the 
State  building  at  Exposition  Park  where  we  will  give 
them  our  regular  program  with  a  few  flowers  and 
flourishes  thrown  in;  and  while  we  have  thfm  before 
us  and  they  are  feeling  happy  and  good,  we  wilT 
tell  them  a  few  things  which  all  loyal  citizens  should 
know  about  our  dependent  friends,  the  denizens  of 
the   air. 

The  social  opportunities  which  federation  gives 
are  worthy  of  consideration.  Some  unusual  and 
choice  occasions  are  made  ours  as  was  instanced  when 
the  Tujunga  Woman's  Club  merged  its  Reciprocity 
Day  with  John  Steven  McGroarty's  "House-warming." 
Six  of  us  ia  our  president's  generous  "taxi"  rolled 
over  the  wonderful  mountain  boulevards,  through 
picturesque  canyons,  on  and  on  to  the  village  made 
famous  by  the  esteemed  "Conductor."  We  parked 
our  car  with  others  in  the  grove  of  California  live 
oaks  which  fills  the  "front  yard,"  then  followed  the 
trail  to  the  steps  of  flag  stones  which  brought  us  to 
the  porch  of  the  broad  Colonial  house.  Within  we 
were  warmly  greeted,  passed  on  to  the  long  tea  table, 
then  given  the  freedom  of  the  house.  Many  of  the 
people  of  the  "Congregation"  were  there.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


■  "Socrates",  in  his  corduroy  suit  was  much  in  evi- 
:dence.  The  "lady  who  lives  in  the  little  gray  house 
in  the  hollow,  that  has  two  big  rocks  behind  it  and 
■the  lilac  bush  in  front"  was  introduced,  as  was  also 
the  "Prowler"  the  "Newspaper  Addict,"  and  the 
"Old  Postmaster"  bedecked  with  stamps.  But  the 
"man  who  plays  the  flute"  and  lives  alone  way  up  in 
the  canyon  failed  to  appear.  The  "yellow  cat"  in 
effigy,  held  the  center  of  the  mantle-piece  over  the 
cheerful  log  fire.  The  stately  minuet  was  danced  and 
quadrilles  to  the  good  old  tune  of  "Money  Musk." 
Later  some  delightful  vocal  music  was  furnished.  We 
all  filed  up  stairs  to  the  library  and  wrote  our  names 
in  the  big  register  which  will  tell  the  story  all  down 
the  years.  Porches  and  balconies  were  on  all  sides 
and  on  the  highest  peak  of  the  green  Verdugo  hills, 
above  the  house  stood  the  great  white  electric  cross, 
a  guiding  light  for  all  wayfarers  to  the  cheer  and 
council  of  the  beloved  "Conductor  of  the  Congregation 
of  the   Faithful." 

And  then  the  tragedy  which  called  forth  the  reso- 
lutions adopted  by  the  Executive  Board  of  the  Los 
Angeles   Audubon    Society   December    11,    1923. 

Whereas,  We  were  among  the  honored  "Million- 
aire Club  of  Contentment"  guests  at  the  House-Warm- 
ing  of  the  John  Steven  McGroarty  hortie  on  Decem- 
ber  7,   1923,   and   whereas 

We  deeply  appreciate  and  never  will  forget  the 
cordial  and  hearty  welcome  given  us  by  our  dear 
"Conductor"    and    his    beloved    wife. 

Whereas,  No  words  are  adequate  to  express  our 
deep  sympathy  for  the  irreparable  loss  they  have  sus- 
tained in  the  destruction  by  fire  of  their  beautiful 
home,    the    final    achievement   of   their    hearts'    desire. 

Whereas,  We  thank  God  with  full  hearts  that  no 
Mives   were   lost   during   that   disaster. 

Resolved,  That  we  bow  our  heads  with  them^  in 
this  severe  discipline  and  pray  that  our  Heavenly 
Father  will  lead  them  into  paths  of  even  deeper  peace, 
greener  valleys,  and  higher  hills,  with  renewed  cour- 
age and  patience,  that  they  may  continue  to  light 
the  way  for  many  a  stumbling  wayfarer  to  the  radiant 
cross   of   Hope   and    Faith, 

Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  spread  upon  our 
minutes  and  a  copy  sent  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McGroarty. 

(Signed): 

Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  president;  Mrs.  C.  B.  Raitt, 
second  vice-president;  Mrs.  Grace  Mix,  treasurer;

GLENDORA   WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  R.   C.   Swain,   Chairman  Press   Committee 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Glendora  is  enjoying  the 
most  successful  and  naturally  the  most  interesting  year 
of  its  history,  under  the  able  leadership  of  Miss  Ida 
Belle   Haney,   the   president. 

The  different  sections  of  the  club  have  branched 
out  into  their  various  activities  and  are  more  than 
'successful  in  the  work. 

The  natural'  beauties  of  the  territory  surrounding 
this  locality  provide  atmosphere  for  the  nature  lovers, 
while  the  dramatic  section  is  amply  provided  for  in 
the  high  school. 

The  various  study  clubs  under  the  section  chair- 
men are  doing  splendid  work,  and  enjoying  the 
■interesting  subjects    under   discussion. 

The  programs  at  the  regular  bi-monthly  meetings 
are  rare  treats  for  the  members  and  are  well  at- 
tended. Each  meeting  brings  wonderful  talent,  and 
some  new  method  of  entertainment  and  inspiration 
for   everyone. 


The  officers  and  directors  of  the  club  are  so  well 
moulded  into  a  smooth  working  organization,  that  the 
results   are  wonderful. 

Just  at  this  time  the  club  is  carrying  out  the  Christ- 
mas spirit  and  providing  a  Christmas  tree  and  all 
the  good  things  that  go  with  it  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Mexican  children  in  this  locality. 

The  following  officers  are  active  workers:  presi- 
dent. Miss  Ida  Belle  Haney;  vice  presidents,  Mrs. 
Maurice  Crow  and  Miss  Lucile  Close;  secretary, 
Mrs.  J.  J.  McBride;  treasurer,  Mrs.  F.  H.  Wilson; 
Federation  secretary,  Mrs.  Rebecca  Howe;  chairman 
program  committee,  Mrs.  Walter  Campbell;  chair- 
man philanthropy  committee,  Mrs.  John  D.  Zint-

SOUTH  SIDE  EBELL 

By  Mrs.  Fini.ey,  Press  Chairman 

On  a  recent  Thursday  the  South  Side  Ebell  Club 
held  a  Thanksgiving  meeting.  An  acrostic  was  car- 
ried out,  using  the  word  Thanksgiving.  The  mem- 
bers read  original  poems  beginning  with  the  differ- 
ent   letters. 

The  Drama  Section  put  on  a  one  act  comedy  en- 
titled "Happy  School  Days,"  which  was  well  played, 
and  enjoyed  by  a  full  house.  This  section,  under 
Katheren  Englehorn,  as  curator,  is  doing  good  work 
and  is  rehearsing  for  a  play  to  be  given  at  a  later 
date. 
Very    stormy    was   Thanksgiving   on    that    wild    New 

England   shore, 
When      our     Pilgrim     Fathers     landed,     tired,    worn, 

homesick,   and   heart-sore. 
Here  are  we  in  California,  in  a  climate  most  sublime. 
Thanks   to   these   our  Pilgrim   Fathers,   for   this   land, 

both  yours  and  mine. 
Here  are  we  in  wondrous  weather,  thinking,  planning, 

working  too, 
For  a  home  for  our  "Club  Family"  for  no  other  place 

will  do. 
Giving  thanks   for   this   Thanksgiving,   and   for   these 

hearts  warm  and  true. 

Give   thanks   for   our   Country,   our   city,   our  freedom 

from  oppression  or  strife. 
Give   thanks   today  that   woman   victorious,    is   taking 

her  place   in  this  great  scheme  of   life. 
Give    thanks    for    this    food    which    has    strengthened 

our   bodies,    and   the   food   for   our   minds   here 

given   as  well. 
Give  thanks  for  love,  goodfellowship,  friendship. 
Give  thanks  for  our  club,  the  South  Side  Ebell, 
Give   thanks   for   our   President,   true    and   delighting, 

the  ever  untiring,  our  Marion  Whiting.

M.  Chapman,  New  York  City,  and  will  be  published 
in  the  January-February  Bird-Lore,  the  official  or- 
gan of  the  National  Association  of  Audubon  So- 
cieties, under  whose  jurisdiction  the  Christmas  Bird 
Census    was    inaugurated    twenty-four    years    ago. 

An  area  with  a  diameter  of  fifteen  miles,  the  cen- 
ter of  which  is  determined  by  the  party  participat- 
ing, is  searched  in  every  nook  and  corner  by  differ- 
ent groups  of  two  or  more  who  keep  tab  on  the 
number  of  species  and  individual  birds  observed — 
these  small  lists  being  combined  later  into  a  grand 
total  for  that  party.  Much  detail  work  is  entailed 
after  the  census  has  been  taken,  in  checking  up 
the  many  species  according  to  the  A.  O.  U.  check- 
list, enumerating  the  individual  birds,  typing,  sign- 
ing and  mailing  by  special  delivery  to  reach  New 
York    by    January    1. 

Efforts  will  be  made  by  the  bird  clubs,  among 
which  there  is  close  co-operation,  to  so  place  the 
different  census  areas,  as  to  include  mountain,  mead- 
ow, shore  and  water  birds,  thus  giving  a  fair  repre- 
sentation of  the  winter  bird  life  of  this  section,  and 
also  to  have  a  competent  guide  whose  knowledge 
of  field  identification  marks  is  unquestioned,  with 
every  group  of  census  takers.  With  these  precau- 
tions the  bird  clubs  of  this  vicinity  are  entering  the 
contest   wuth    high    hopes   of   success. 


(Continued  from  Page  23) 
And  then  came  the  luncheon.  Promptly  at  1  o'clock 
Mrs.  Toll  greeted  the  850  women  assembled  at  flower- 
decked  tables  in  the  beautiful  ball  room  of  the  Bilt- 
raore  hotel,  than  which  there  is  no  more  magnificent 
hostelry.  Surrounded  by  this  elegance,  Mrs.  Winter 
told,  by  way  of  contrast,  how  she  had  hurriedly  and 
half-dressed  left  the  train  at  some  small  station  and 
hungry  and  dishevelled,  with  the  rest  of  her  party 
had  applied  humbly  for  something  to  eat  at  a  farm- 
house. Came  the  reply:  "If  you  will  'set'  for  a 
while  I'll  see  if  I  can  get  some  eggs."  Then  the 
party  altruistically  divided  the  clean  parts  of  a  roller 
towel  into  equal  portions,  resourcefully  stopped  a 
hole  in  the  tin  wash  basin  with  gum,  and  proceeded 
to  make  as  much  of  a  toilet  as  would  be  possible 
before  meeting  a  waiting  audience  a  few  miles  far- 
ther on. 

*  *     *     * 

Among  other  things  she  told  of  the  frivolity  of  the 
job  of  always  uplifting  humanity  and  this  saving  sense 
of  humor,  her  audience  realized,  must  be  a  sustaining 
force  in  helping  this  chosen  leader  of  women  to  hold 
fast  to  the  ideal  and  accomplish  in  the  face  of  almost 
unsurmountable  difficulties. 

*  »     *     * 

One   might   be   forced   to   emulate   Tennyson's   brook 


and  "go  on  forever"  to  even  attempt  to  portray  Mrs. 
Winter.  But  to  show  that  she  is  dependable  in  any 
emergency  it  would  not  do  to  stop  without  telling 
how  she  answered  the  man  who  facetiously  told  her, 
in  connection  with  her  work,  that  Mark  Twain  had 
said:  "Cats  are  all  very  well  in  their  way,  but  piled 
up  they  block  iraffic."  "Yes,  that's  very  true,"  re- 
sponded Mrs.  Winter,  "but  Mark  Twain,  being  male, 
was  speaking  of  male  cats !" 

*  *  *  »  ; 
Nor  must  we  stop  without  telling  of  the  co-opera- 
tion and  management  that  made  possible  this  suc- 
cessful gathering  to  honor  the  Winter  Solstice  in  the 
Los  Angeles  District.  To  those  who  are  privileged 
to  work  with  Mrs.  Toll,  president  of  the  district, 
there  is  never  danger  of  not  knowing  what  is  expected 
and  exactly  when  and  where.  So  it  was  by  the  well- 
planned  co-operation  of  clubs  and  officers  of  the  dis- 
trict that  the  outlined  program  schedule  was  exactly 
followed  to  the  minute.  Friday  Morning  Club  mem- 
bers acted  as  door-keepers,  the  audience  being  seated 
by  members  of  the  Ebell  Club.  Distant  clubs  provided 
dowers  to  assist  the  work  of  the  Hollywood  Woman's 
Club  in  decorating  the  Auditorium  and  platform  on 
which  were  seated  the  highest  officers  of  the  Federa- 
tion. Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Winter,  Mrs.  Josiah  Evans 
Cowles,  Mrs.  Robert  J.  Burdette,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Urquhart 
and  Mrs.  Charles  Toll,  the  district  hostess.  Others 
on  the  platform  included  State  and  District  officers 
and  chairmen,  past  presidents  of  State  and  District, 
the  California  Local  Biennial  Board  and  prominent 
leaders  of  co-operative  organizations. 

*  *     *     * 

From  the  auditorium  the  guests  availed  themselves 
of  the  waiting  taxis  provided  by  Dr.  Lula  Phelps, 
District  Chairman  of  Child  Welfare.  Decorations  at 
the  Biltmore  were  provided  by  the  Pasadena  Shake- 
speare Club.  To  enable  Mrs.  Winter  to  realize  the 
organization  and  aims  of  the  California  Federation, 
two-minute  outlines  of  departmental  work  were  pre- 
sented by  the  following'  chairmen  and  leaders  of  co- 
operative organizations:  Mrs.  Henry  Goodcell.  State 
Chairman  of  Literature;  Mrs.  Aubrey  Allen  of  the 
Daughters  of  the  British  Empire,  which  is  affiliated 
with  the  Federation,  as  is  the  W.  C.  T.  U.,  repre-

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HERBERT   HOOVER  ON  MILK 


THOUGH  his  interest  is  world-wide  rather  than 
local,  Herbert  Hoover  may  be  classed  as  an  ar- 
dent advocate  of  milk.  Hoover  is  the  man  who 
said,  "The  white  race  cannot  survive  without  dairy 
products."  This  slogan,  evolved  by  one  of  the  world's 
greatest  engineers,  is  now  being  used  extensively  by 
the  dairy  interests  in  convincing  people  that  they 
must  use  ample  dairy  products  to  keep  healthy. 

Hoo%'er  was  one  of  the  principal  speakers  before 
the  World's  Dairy  Congress,  recently  held  in  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  and  Syracuse,  New  York,  and  at  that 
world-wide  meeting  he  reiterated  his  conviction  that 
the  white  race  must  have  dairy  products  to  get  along. 

Hoover  reached  his  conclusion  about  dairy  prod- 
ucts as  a  result  of  the  work  he  carried  on  during  the 
world  war  in  feeding  children  in  the  famine  areas  of 
Europe  for  the  American  Relief  Administration.  Some 
quotations  from  his  speech  before  the  World's  Dairy 
Congress  are  given  herewith,  indicating  how  strong 
he   is  for  the  product: 

"If  any  further  demonstration  were  needed  than 
the  results  of  scientific  research,  as  to  the  importance 
of  dairy  products  in  our  national  diet,  the  experience 
of  the  American  Relief  Administration,  of  which  I 
had  the  honor  to  be  chairman,  in  its  work  of  pro- 
vision of  the  necessary  food  supply  first  and  last  to 
over  12,000,000  children  in  various  famine  areas  of 
Europe,  could  be  drawn  upon  for  literally  volumes 
of  confirmation. 

"The  feeding  of  these  masses  of  under-nourished 
children  demonstrated  from  the  outset  that  there  was 
no  substitute  for  milk,  and  that  while  a  very  wide 
range  of  alternatives  existed  among  other  foodstuffs, 
this  particular  commodity  was  absolutely  essential  for 
their  restoration  to  health  and  their  maintenance  .  . 
It  could  be  very  well  said  that  the  saving  of  these 
millions  of  children  was  accomplished  only  by  virtue 
of  the  strength,  the  resilience  of  the  American  dairy 
industrv.  .  .  . 

"It  is  a  safe  generalization,  I  believe,  from  a  nu- 
tritional point  of  view,  that  the  world  is  today  over- 
producing bread  grains  and  under-producing  dairy 
products  and  consequently  the  feed  grains  and  other 
animal  foods  .... 


"Despite  the  increase  in  consumption  in  the  United 
States  during  the  last  decade,  I  believe  that  any  an- 
alysis of  this  subject  will  indicate  that  we  are  yet 
far  below  the  intake  of  dairy  products  which  would 
maintain  the  maximum  results  in  health  and  the  de- 
velopment of  our  children  .... 

"By  the  nutrition  of  hundreds  of  generations,  the 
fate  of  the  white  races  is  indissolubly  linked  with 
their  cattle  .... 

"There  is  nothing  of  more  importance  to  our  Am- 
erican public  today  than  the  realization  of  this  primi- 
tive necessity  of  the  nutrition  of  children  and  the 
responsibilities    of   the    entire   community   for    it  .  .  . 

"As  far  as  the  demonstrations  have  gone  to  date, 
it  shows  that  even  in  moderate  sized  and  semi-agri- 
cultural towns,  our  consumption  of  milk  by  children 
is  less  than  one-half  what  it  should  be  .  .  . 

"Indeed  the  dairy  industry,  from  the  point  of  view 
of  the  Secretary  of  Commerce,  is  the  great  balance 
wheel   of   agriculture  .  .  . 

"The  development  of  mechanical  devices  in  the 
last  two  decades  in  the  shape  of  hand  separators  and 
the  motor  truck,  the  development  of  the  co-operative 
centralized  creameries,  have  all  contributed  to  an 
extension  of  the  dairy  industry  to  regions  that  are 
remote  from  urban  areas,  and  have  greatly  added 
to  the  security  of  the  entire  agricultural  industry. 

"There  is  in  the  possibility  of  increasing  the  con- 
sumption of  dairy  products  an  element  of  solution  to 
many  of  the  present  agricultural  problems.  As  I 
have  said,  world  agriculture  has  come  out  of  the  war 
thoroughly  unbalanced.  We  are  over-producing  bread 
grains  beyond  any  possibility  of  consumption  in  the 
world  at  the  present  moment.  To  bring  about  an  in- 
crease in  the  consumption  of  dairy  products  is  not 
only  a  health  question  but  it  also  will  lend  a  sub- 
stantial hand  to  agriculture  in  the  conversion  from 
bread  grains  to  feed  and  in  this  fundamental  increase 
in  living  standards  an  actual  gain  can  be  made  for 
the   total   consumption   of   agricultural   produce. 

"By  so  doing  we  will  be  promoting  not  alone  the 
interest  of  agriculture  but  we  will  be  promoting  the 
interest  of  public  health  and  the  virility  of  our  race."

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  TWENTIETH  AMENDMENT 

By  George  Motiroe  Giff en 
[This  is  the  second  of  a  series  of  articles  written  especially  for  The  Ctubivoman  on  the  subject  of  world  peacel 


The  great  moving  impulse  back  of  the  human  race 
is  the  desire  for  happiness.  There  are  as  many  vary- 
ing ideas  about  what  happiness  consists  of,  as  there 
are  mentalities.  One  man  thinks  his  happiness  would 
be  complete  if  he  had  a  bank  account  of  a  thousand 
dollars,  another  if  he  had  a  million  ;  one  if  he  could 
own  a  Ford;  another  if  he  could  be  head  of  a  store; 
and  so  on  down  the  line.  Each  in  his  individual 
field  may  achieve  what  to  his  primitive  thought  is 
the  goal  of  happiness,  only  to  find  that  it  does  not 
satisfy.  The  man  with  a  million  dollars  can  have 
just  as  much  trouble,  just  as  much  anguish  of  soul, 
just  as  much  disheartenment,  as  the  one  who  is 
struggling  to  find  the  money  for  his  daily  needs. 

Our  social  systems,  our  political  sub-divisions  desig- 
nated as  government,  our  religious  and  philosophies 
are  all  based  on  that  great  and  right  impulse,  the 
desire  to  bring  happiness  to  the  human  race.  It  is 
quite  evident  that  we  are  not  reaching  the  goal,  we 
are  not  getting  the  results  for  which  we  are  striving. 
If,  after  centuries  of  civil  and  religious  education, 
the  best  civilization  that  we  are  capable  of  exprss- 
ing  is  that  which  has  been  fought  out  on  the  battle- 
fields of  Europe,  where  everything  that  we  have  con- 
siderd  materially  worth  ^vhile  has  been  destroyed  with 
an  abandon  that  is  inconceivable;  life  taken  in  such 
a  fiendish  manner  that  a  North  American  Indian 
would  consider  himself  a  neophyte;  virtue  thrown  into 
the  shambles;  wealth  squandered  in  such  volume 
the  mind  cannot  grasp  it — all  this  followed  by  such 
a  tremendous  upheaval  in  the  whole  social  system 
that    the    world    stands    aghast    at    the    results    of    its 

work — then  it  is  surely  time  for  men  to  really 
think  and  act.  The  time  for  indifference  is  past,  and 
intelligent  action  must  be  the  order  of  the  day-  Poli- 
tics and  business  affairs  are  being  adjusted  on  a  new 
basis;  practical  and  impractical  theories  are  being 
offered  and  put  into  operation  today,  to  be  abandoned 
tomorrow.  Governments  crumbling,  disintegrating, 
changing.  Our  settled  and  accepted  social  systems 
being  assailed  and  our  cherished  customs  and  habits 
of  life  violated.  What  a  grievous  fallacy  it  has  been, 
the  thought  that  war  can  accomplish  anything  good! 
Gazing  upon  this  picture  would  lead  the  thinker  to 
conclude  that  there  is  something  vitally  wrong  with 
our   present   civilization. 

Do  we  really  want  war?  Does  our  country  want 
war?  Is  there  any  considerable  number  of  our 
citizenship  who  want  war?  A  perfectly  safe  answer 
is,  no!  Emphatically,  no!  If  you  who  are  reading 
this  article  are  an  exception  and  want  war,  are  in 
favor  of  war,  advocate  war,  don't  read  it  further. 
If  you  do  not  want  war,  I  crave  your  careful  con- 
sideration. Do  not  let  the  manner  of  expression  con- 
cern you.  The  thoughts  conveyed  could  be  better 
phrased,  but  the  proposition  is  so  worthy  of  the 
thoughtful  attention  of  every  American  citizen,  that 
I  hope  you  may  enlist  as  ready  to  do  your  part  in 
furtherance  of  a  plan  that  promises  much  towards 
war's  prevention. 

What  is  the  remedy?  Clearly  hate  and  destruction 
are  not  going  to  accomplish  the  happiness  for  which 
the  world  is  striving — history's  results  tell  us  that. 
Anyone  who  has  given  careful  study  to  the  teachings 
of  the  Galilean  prophet,  finds  that  the  religion  Jesus 
the   Christ   taught,    the    religion    of    love,    is   the    solu- 


tion, the  only  solution  of  this  tremendous  and  compli- 
cated problem,  the  problem  of  human  happiness.  Be- 
cause people  have  been  trained  to  believe  that  war 
would  bring  better  conditions,  war  has  seemed  inevit- 
able, nevertheless  it  is  evident  that  our  wars  have  been 
mistakenly  fought,  for  the  results  have  not  brought  the 
human  happiness  for  which  all  were  striving.  There 
is  no  need  in  this  article  to  enter  into  details  re- 
garding the  horrors,  the  futility  and  the  utter  use- 
lessness  of  war,  for  we  at  the  present  time  have  sorry 
reason  for  knowing  what  utter  waste  it  is.  The  ques- 
tion is,  how  shall  we  avoid  it?  What  plan  shall  be 
evolved  that  shall  have  a  tendency  to  check  war,  to 
remedy    it? 

A  sure  preventive  for  war,  is  to  make  it  so  utterly 
obnoxious  that  men  will  refuse  to  engage  in  it.  De- 
vising diabolical  means  of  destroying  life  and  property 
has  not  proved  an  effective  deterrent  because  the  one 
whose  son  has  not  been  killed  or  maimed  in  battle, 
those  whose  property  has  not  been  destroyed  by  shot 
and  shell,  have  not  had  that  "close-up"  experience 
which  makes  war  wholly  abhorrent.  Conscription  of 
every  man's  pocket  book  and  energy,  barring  none, 
will  surely  wield  a  tremendous  influence  toward  war's 
abolition. 

The  Christian  Science  Monitor  of  November  15, 
1923,  on  its  editorial  page  advocates  the  idea  of  an 
amendment  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States 
conscripting  the  wealth  of  the  nation,  as  well  as  the 
lives  of  our  young  men  in  time  of  war.  This  would 
make  conscription  applicable  to  every  man,  woman  and 
child  and  all  the  financial  resources  of  the  Nation  as 
well  as  of  the  individual,  as  imperative  as  the  con- 
scription of  the  lives  of  our  young  men,  for  the  preser- 
vation of  the  Nation.  This  proposition  is  fundamen- 
tally sound.  It  is  just.  It  is  fair.  The  man  who 
shoulders  his  musket  gives  everything  to  his  country. 
The  man  who  remains  at  home  has,  at  best,  given 
but  comparatively  little.  Such  an  amendment  be- 
ing made  a  part  of  the  organic  law  of  our  country; 
an  amendment  which  would  make  it  impossible  for 
manufacturer  or  laborer  to  profit  by  war;  an  amend- 
ment which  w^ould  place  every  institution  under  the 
Government's  control  immediately  upon  the  declara- 
tion of  war ;  every  dollar  of  profit  over  and  above  the 
war  basis  of  the  soldier  that  the  great  industries  of 
the  country  would  reap,  to  be  turned  over  to  the 
Government  for  the  expenses  of  war.  Such  a  course, 
drastic  as  it  may  seem,  all-inclusive  as  it  would  be, 
is  not  one  whit  more  drastic  than  the  present  course 
of  drafting  lives,  and  would  cause  our  people  to 
think  long  and  carefully  before  consenting  to  enter 
into  a  state  of  war.  Those  interests,  through  all  time 
past,  that  have  thriven  upon  war,  would  have  no 
incentive  to  advocate  force  of  arms.  The  contempla- 
tion by  communities  of  the  necessity  of  being  placed 
under  martial  law,  under  the  command  of  the  govern- 
ment, with  every  man,  woman  and  child  doing  his 
bit  for  the  government  so  long  as  the  war  continued, 
would  indeed  stop  the  war  before  it  began. 

This  plan,  advanced  by  The  Christian  Science 
Monitor  and  being  advocated  by  it  today,  is  worthy 
of  most  careful  consideration,  by  every  thinking  club 
woman  in  America  as  well  as  by  every  human  com- 
prising our  citizenship.  It  is  feasible,  it  is  logical, 
it  is  right.

The  Eighteenth  Amendment  to  the  Constitution  of 
the  United  States,  prohibiting  the  manufacture  and 
sale  of  intoxicating  liquors,  is  unquestionably  the 
greatest  forward-looking  step  ever  taken  by  any 
government  since  men  have  banded  themselves  together 
in  governments.  It  was  the  natural  outcome  of  that 
marvelous  instrument,  the  Declaration  of  Indepen- 
dence, which  as  the  forerunner  of  the  Constitution  of 
the  United  States,  maintains  "we  hold  these  truths  to 
be  self-evident,  that  all  men  are  created  equal,  that 
they  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  un- 
alienable Rights,  that  among  these  are  Life,  Liberty, 
and  the  Pursuit  of  Happiness."  The  Constitution  was 
without  doubt  an  inspired  instrument;  inspired  by  the 
highest  conception  of  far-seeing  men  looking  toward 
justice,  equity  and  right  in  human  affairs.  It  was  a 
threshold  to  the  open  door  that  was  to  usher  into 
human  experience  a  higher,  better,  more  spiritual 
form  of  human  government  than  had  ever  before  been 
known  to  the  human  race,  preparing  the  soil  of  hu- 
man consciousness  for  the  practical  operation  of  the 
message  of  freedom  and  true  happiness  given  to  the 
world  nineteen  centuries  before  in  Galilee. 

On  such  a  foundation  it  was  inevitable  that  this 
country  of  ours  should  be  in  the  fore-front  of  right 
activity,  taking  the  steps  that  shall  enable  the  human 
race    eventually   to    reach   that   higher    understanding 


where  this  long-sought  happiness  would  be  achieved. 
The  conscription  of  wealth  in  time  of  war  would  be 
even  a  greater  step  than  the  Eighteenth  Amendment. 
It  would  do  more  in  a  practical  way  to  establish  the 
idealism  of  the  Galilean  Prophet  than  perhaps  any 
plan  that  has  ever  been  formulated  or  advocated  by 
any  people   on   earth. 

As,  in  the  building  of  a  house,  it  is  necessary  to 
do  much  preliminary  work  before  the  completed  struc- 
ture is  ready  for  occupancy,  is  it  not  reasonable  and 
logical  that  we  should  take  many  preliminary  steps  in 
human  progress,  before  we  shall  see  the  fulfillment  of 
the  Master's  teaching  of  universal  brotherhood?  Is 
not  any  step  that  gives  promise  of  restraining  the 
mad  impulse  of  war,  worthy  of  our  earnest  sup- 
port? Shall  we  not  then  ask,  "What  may  I  do? 
What  helpful  part  may  I  play  in  the  establishment  of 
a  course  vehich  shall  act  as  a  deterrent  of  senseless, 
useless,  destructive  war?" 

No  class  of  our  citizenship  should  more  earnestly 
advocate  this  great  movement  than  the  wide-awake 
club  women  of  the  country.  Their  fore-sight,  their 
ability,  their  determination  directed  to  the  establish- 
ment of  such  an  amendment  to  the  Constitution  of  the 
United  States  would  bring  about  its  enactment,  and 
would  be  a  tremendous  influence  toward  the  aboli- 
tion of  destructive  conflicts.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  MODERN  EMPHASIS  IN  SOCIAL  SERVICE 

AN  ADDRESS  TO  THE  SOROPTIMIST  CLUB 

By  C.  Rankin  Barnes, 
Rector,  St.  James'  Episcopal  Church,  South  Pasadena 


It  would  be  a  pleasure  under  any  circumstances  to 
address  the  business  and  professional  women  repre- 
sented here  in  the  Soroptimist  Club  of  Los  Angeles. 
But  I  value  this  occasion  the  more  because  it  gives  me 
the  opportunity  of  acknowledging  a  debt  of  grati- 
tude to  a  woman,  the  woman  who  gave  me  my  first 
intimate  knowledge  of  social  problems  and  an  abid- 
ing enthusiasm  for  social  service.  I  refer  to  Dr. 
Jessica  Peixotto,  professor  of  Social  Economics  at  the 
University  of  California.  One  of  the  first  women 
on  the  faculty  of  our  State  University,  she  has  ex- 
ercised a  tremendous  influence  for  good  upon  the 
social  thought  of  our  state. 

Quite  naturally  I  appreciate  the  limitations  of  a 
brief  address  in  endeavoring  to  cover  a  field  upon 
which  whole  volumes  might  be  written.  My  remarks 
will  of  necessity  be  sketchy  rather  than  compre- 
hensive. 

The  social  service  of  today  has  to  do  with  two 
tasks.  One  of  these  is  the  helping  of  handicapped  indi- 
viduals. There  are  not  only  the  familiar  classes  of  the 
dependent,  the  defective  and  the  delinquent,  but  there 
are  also  those  unfortunate  enough  to  belong  to  more 
than  on  of  these  classes.  We  may,  for  example,  be 
called  upon  to  help  a  defective  dependent,  or  to 
hold  permanently  in  an  institution  a  defective  delin- 
quent. 

The  other  task  of  social  service  has  to  do  with 
the  improvement  of  working  and  living  conditions. 
Social  workers  have  learned  to  seek  for  the  causes 
of  the  individual  handicap.  They  have  come  to  ask 
"Why  the  dependent?  Why  the  defective?  Why  the 
delinquent?"  Why,  for  instance  should  men  be  inca- 
pacitated for  life  by  lead  poisoning  when  that  might 
have  been  prevented?  Why,  for  instance,  should  in- 
adequate plumbing  in  a  tenement  be  allowed  to  propa- 
gate the  filth  diseases? 

The  first  task  has  to  do  primarily  with  the  indi- 
vidual, and  can  only  be  handled  by  the  finest  kind  of 
social  case  work.  In  dealing  with  individuals  social 
service  endeavors  not  merely  to  give  temporary  re- 
lief but  to  put  the  person  or  the  family  on  a  perma- 
nent basis.  In  its  larger  task,  that  of  dealing  with 
human  society,  social  service  aims  to  develop  such  a 
system  of  living  and  working  and  playing  that  we 
shall  cease  our  constant  production  of  dependents, 
defectives  and  delinquents.  And  while  not  forgetting 
nor  neglecting  the  handicapped  individual,  modern 
social  service  desires  to  look  beneath  surface  results 
and  unearth  their  causes.  In  short,  the  modern  em- 
phasis in  social  service  is  upon  prevention  rather  than 
upon  relief. 

During  the  past  fifty  years  social  work  has  made 
three  discoveries  of  capital  importance.  The  funda- 
mental value  of  these  discoveries,  obvious  though 
they  may  seem  to  us,  cannot  be  exaggerated.  The 
first  of  these  is  that  poverty  can  not  be  cured  by  alms 
alone.  It  takes  something  more  fundamental  than  a 
hand-out  or  a  half  dollar  to  put  a  destitute  widowed 
mother  on  her  feet,  or  to  start  a  discharged  prisoner 
back  on  the  road  to  decent  citizenship.  Thinking 
people  have   come   to   realize   in  poverty  the   effect  of 


bad  housing,  of  inadequate  education,  of  faulty  sani- 
tation, of  inherited  mental  weakness.  They  have 
learned  that  all  poor  people  are  not  poor  because  of 
stupidity  or  shiftlessness.  When,  for  instance,  the 
famous  Johnstown  Survey  revealed  in  that  city  an 
infant  death  rate  of  250  per  1000  babies  as  against 
the  national  average  of  SO,  it  not  merely  showed  up 
a  polluted  water  supply,  but  also  a  fruitful  cause  of 
continuing  a  breed  of  sickly  children,  too  handicapped 
to  rise  above  the  poverty  line. 

The  giving  of  alms  is  a  sedative;  it  is  not  a  cure. 
And  poverty  can  only  be  eliminated  by  methods  which 
are  at  once  preventive  and  constructive.  I  wonder 
if  what  an  Eastern  friend  of  mine  told  me  is  true, 
that  "lots  of  people  want  to  help  the  poor,  but  they 
want  to  keep  them  poor.  As  soon  as  the  individual 
tries  to  rise  to  a  position  of  self-respect,  they  resent 
it."  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  man  or  woman  below 
the  poverty  line  must  be  lifted  by  sympathetic  but 
scientific  co-operation,  first  to  a  position  of  self- 
respect,  and  then  to  one  of  self-support.  Such  is  the 
individual  method,  but  even  more  important  is  the 
mass  method.  This  implies  such  a  racial  improve- 
ment, through  education,  through  the  home,  through 
the  church,  and  through  industry,  that  the  continuous 
breeding  of  ideal  prospects  for  a  condition  of  pov- 
erty may  cease.  That's  where  the  challenge  comes 
home  to  each  of  us. 

The  second  capital  discovery  of  social  work  is  that 
disease  cannot  be  cured  by  drugs  alone.  Medical 
treatment  may  relieve  an  individual  case,  but  it  does 
not  attack  isease  as  such.  It  does  not  get  at  the 
root  of  the  difficulty.  Modern  sociology  has  taught 
us  to  look  for  the  cause  of  disease  in  the  increasing 
employment  of  women  in  industry,  in  the  pollution  of 
a  city's  milk  supply,  in  the  lack  of  precautions  against 
occupational  diseases,  in  the  absence  of  guards  around 
dangerous  machinery,  in  the  imperfect  ventilation  of 
crowded   factories. 

Opponents  of  the  labor  of  little  children  have  long 
proclaimed  the  danger  to  health  involved  in  child 
labor,  but  it  took  the  late  war  to  prove  this.  The 
examination  of  men  for  the  selective  draft  showed 
that  29  per  cent  had  to  be  rejected  for  physical 
reasons.  This  was  disgraceful  enough.  But  Pennsyl- 
vania, until  recently  a  notorious  child  labor  state,  re- 
ported the  rejection  of  55  per  cent.  Nor  can  one  wax 
enthusiastic  about  the  health  prospects  of  the  nation 
when  1,000,000  children  between  the  ages  of  14  and 
16  leave  school  every  year  to  go  to  work. 

The  development  of  community  health  is  not  a  ques- 
tion for  the  specialist  or  the  social  worker  alone.  We 
can  each  bear  our  part.  Last  year  I  heard  Dr.  Haven 
Emerson,  one  of  the  greatest  public  health  experts 
in  the  country,  state  that  the  public  health  program 
of  America  had  about  reached  its  limit.  "Further 
results  depend  absolutely  upon  the  conscientiousness 
and  co-operation  of  the  individual  citizen."  And  I 
dare  say  the  Health  Department  of  the  City  of  Los 
Angeles  would  say  the  same  thing.  If  the  average  of 
us  can  learn  to  think  in  terms  of  the  prevention  of 
disease  as  a  whole  rather  than  of  the  relief  in  separate

cases  we  shall  have  traveled  a  long  Vf  ay  upon  the  road 
to  achievement.  Let  us  be  positive  and  constructive, 
and  develop  an  enthusiasm  for  health. 

The  third  capital  discovery  of  social  work  is  that 
crime  cannot  be  cured  by  jails  alone.  No  more  elo- 
quent proof  of  this  statemnt  could  be  given  than  the 
recent  words  of  August  Vollmer,  Chief  of  Police  of 
Los  Angeles;  "More  criminals  are  made  inside  the 
jails  of  Los  Angels  than  anywhere  else  in  the  city. 
Many  prisoners,  locked  up  over  night  at  the  Central 
Station,  cannot  find  a  place  to  sleep  and  pile  up  like 
sheep — a  striking  example  of  the  inhumanity  of  the 
law  that  cannot  be  allowed  to  go  on.  When  the  law 
itself  violates  the  decencies,  when  foul  air  and  vermin 
are  the  lot  of  those  punished  or  corrected  by  the  law, 
the  law  itself  naturally  becomes  a  symbol  of  degrada- 
tion." 

Cops  and  courts  are  needful  for  the  apprehension 
and  punishment  of  wrongdoers,  but  their  constructive 
contribution  toward  the  prevention  of  crime  is  slight. 
I  was  talking  about  this  very  point  a  few  months  ago 
to  our  own  Mrs.  Gilbert,  City  Mother.  She  said, 
"You  have  no  idea  of  the  difficulty  I  had  in  convinc- 
ing our  city  authorities  that  it  was  better  to  keep  a 
young  girl  from  going  wrong  or  a  young  man  from 
committing  a  crime  than  it  was  to  catch  them  after- 
wards. The  police  kept  saying,  'Wait  until  they've 
done  something.'  "  Such  an  attitude  would  be  laugh- 
able if  is  results  were  not  so  tragic.  It's  time  we 
looked  beneath  the  surface  of  things  and  saw  the 
causes  of  crime  in  the  constancy  of  unemployment,  in 
the  irresponsibilities  of  seasonal  occupations,  in  the 
neglect  of  subnormal  children,  in  our  indifference  to 
adequate  recreation.  One  of  these  days  there  will 
emerge  an  education  to  respect  the  personality  of 
others,  and  therefore  to  respect  their  property  as 
its   extension.     Each  of   us   could   aid   in   the   develop- 


ment of  such  an  education. 

The  modern  emphasis  in  social  service  is  then  upon 
prevention  rather  than  upon  relief.  The  latter  is 
given  where  needed,  but  it  is  not  regarded  as  an 
end  in  itself.  The  modern  emphasis  has  given  us 
minimum  wage  laws  for  women  rather  than  unre- 
stricted exploitation;  public  employment  agencies 
rather  than  commercialized  amusement;  industrial 
farms  rather  than  county  jails.  At  least  it  is  trying 
so  to  do;  the  result  is  for  us  to  determine. 

This  change  of  emphasis  has  often  been  illustrated 
by  a  story  of  a  dangerous  cliff.  A  road  passed  peril- 
ously close  to  the  top  of  this  cliff  and  people  fre- 
quently fell  over.  Therefore  some  good-hearted  folks 
took  up  a  collection  and  maintained  at  the  bottom  of 
the  cliff  an  ambulance  in  which  the  unfortunate  vic- 
tims were  rushed  to  a  hospital.  After  many  years 
there  came  a  wise  man  who  built  a  heavy  fence  at 
the  top  of  the  cliff  and  people  stopped  falling  over. 
In  other  words,  ambulance  work  is  all  right  in  its 
way,  but  it  is  far  better  to  prevent  accidents  in  the 
first   place!

THE  latest  bulletin  of  the  United  States  Department  of  Labor  sets  forth 
that,  in  common  with  other  parts  of  the  country,  unemployment  in 
California  has  increased  to  some  extent  in  recent  weeks,  partly  due 
to  the  passing  of  the  main  seasonal  crops  and  partly  to  the  great  number 
of  newcomers  in  the  State,  particularly  in  the  southern  end.  Coincident 
with  this  growth  of  unemployment,  and  in  the  same  cities  reporting  more 
workers  than  jobs,  come  reports  of  like  increases  in  crime.  The  connection 
is  obvious.  It  is  a  situation  in  which  the  clubwomen  of  California  have 
long  interested  themselves  as  one  of  the  State's  most  vital  problems.  The 
answer  which  they  evolved  after  careful  investigation  and  the  policy  to 
which  they  have  committed  themselves  and  their  influence  is  this: 

Buy  California-made  products. 

By  doing  so  a  greater  demand  is  created  for  such  products.  A  greater 
denjand  means  an  increased  output.  An  increased  output  means  more 
manufacturing  plants  and  enlargement  of  existing  ones.  More  and  bigger 
factories  mean  more  jobs  and  larger  payrolls.  More  jobs  mean  work  for 
persons  now  jobless.  Larger  payrolls  mean  more  money  in  circulation  and 
more  prosperity  for  everyone  where  it  circulates. 

More  than  that,  such  a  policy  means  that  millions  now  spent  for  East- 
em-made  goods  will  remain  in  California.  It  will  mean  a  great  and  active 
retail  buying  market  that  will  not  only  bring  factories  here  but  will  supply 
the  money  to  start  them  and  keep  them  going.  California  has  everything 
else  to  attract  manufacturing  interests — raw  materials,  cheap  power,  cheap 
fuel,  cheap  water,  efficient  labor,  adequate  rail  and  water  transportation, 
year-round  outdoor  climate  and  ideal  locations. 

Big  industries  and  many  of  them  mean  money  for  everybody. 

The  recipe  is  simple.     It  is  certain  of  results. 

Buy  California  products! 


HOME  PRODUCTS 

There  is  probably  no  other  state  or  community  in  sibility  and  the  practicability  of  trading  at  home,  so 
the  world  that  comes  so  close  to  supplying  all  its  own  that  when  a  suggestion  is  made  for  the  buying  and

THE    GREAT   COMMANDMENT:  "THOU  SHALT  LOVE 
THY  NEIGHBOR  AS  THYSELF" 


(By  D.  L.  Ritchie,  D.  D.,  of  Boston,  Mass.) 
But  deep  beneath  all  wordy  differences,  one  with  his 
ear  to  the  ground  can  quickly  detect  that  the  greatest 
issues  in  Canadian  national  life  are  questions  of 
good-will.  It  is  just  here  where  the  opportunity  of 
the  church  is  great.  Without  meddling  with  partisan 
politics  she  can  be  the  minister  of  good-will  in  pub- 
lic life;  she  can  teach  the  Golden  Rule  with  public 
applications;  she  can  make  it  plain  that  economics 
divorced  from  ethics  is  a  peril  to  any  state;  she  can 
curb  and  help  stay  the  bitterness  of  partisanship; 
she  can  prick  the  vanities  of  egotistic  nationalisms 
that  foment  trouble  in  many  parts  of  the  world  to- 
day; she  can  create  a  climate  of  justice  and  brother- 
liness  and  set  free  spiritual  energies  that  make  the 
settling  of  problems  easy  within  a  state  and  between 
states.  For  it  is  not  finance,  nor  slack  trade,  nor  dis- 
puted foul  suspicion  and  black  hate.  The  world's  dis- 
but  foul  suspicion  and  black  hate.  The  world's  dis- 
ease is  moral,  not  economic;  spiritual,  not  political. 
In  short,  the  world  needs  a  church  with  a  soul  and 
a  voice  and  the  authority  of  truth,  and  alert  to  the 
claims  of  God's  public  cause.

Lord  Balfour  has  been  discussing  once  more,  in 
his  Gifford  lectures  at  Glasgow,  the  most  enthralling 
idea  in  the  world.  It  is  necessary  for  us,  he  thinks, 
to  believe  in  God  if  we  would  understand  the  world. 
He  believes  that  there  is  a  divine  influence  at  work 
among  mankind.     Three  great  values  there   are,  said 


he,  all  vital  to  the  highest  life  of  the  human  race; 
they  are  love,  beauty,  and  truth.  Vital  as  these  are, 
we  could  not  maintain  them  in  the  world  at  their 
highest  level,  if  we  banished  the  idea  of  God  as 
the  Creator  of  the  world  and  the  author  and  sus- 
tainer  of  love  and  truth  and  beauty.  He  could  not 
believe  that  a  mere  clash  of  atoms,  without  any  pur- 
pose in  it,  had  produced  the  world!  and  he  added 
these  memorable  words:  "Not  to  mince  matters,  if 
we  want  to  see  the  world  in  which  we  all  believe, 
and  to  hold  the  creed  which  we  all  accept  in  its  most 
natural  form,  we  must  assume  guidance  and  inspira- 
tion from  the  beginning."  That  is  a  notable  con- 
fession from  one  of  the  world's  most  respected  states- 
men.— London,  Eng.,  Children's  Newspaper.

Judge  Gary,  directing  head  of  the  great  United  Steel 
Corporation,  says  that  there  is  only  one  way  of  fairly 
and  finally  settling  any  controversy  or  question,  and 
that  is,  in  consonance  with  .  .  .  the  Christian  religion. 
Whenever  a  nation  or  an  individual  reaches  the 
point  where,  as  the  result  of  war  or  shipwreck,  or 
oiRerwise,  immedate  destruction  is  inevitable,  assent 
to  the  idea  expressed  is  natural  and  well-nigh  uni- 
cersal.  There  are  multitudes  of  people  who  believe 
that  the  fundamental  and  controlling  doctrine  of  the 
nation's  laws  should  be  in  accordance  with  the  Holy 
Bible,  and  that  every  lawmaker  and  administrator 
should  be  compelled  to  indorse  and  practice  its  unde- 
niable  precepts   .   .   .

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  EBELL  CLUB  OF  LOS  ANGELES 

THE  WORK  OF  THE  SOCIAL  SCIENCE  DEPARTMENT 
By  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


In  the  department  work,  Ebell  members  find  the 
greatest  benefit  and  pleasure  to  be  derived  from  club 
life.  In  Ebell,  there  are  twelve  study  sections  of- 
fering sufficient  variety  to  suit  the  tastes  of  every  one. 
The  Social  Science,  Art  and  Travel,  Music,  Drama 
and  Books  and  Current  Literature  departments  meet 
only  once  a  month  and  the  programs  are  as  brilliant 
and  entertaining  as  those  offered  on  Monday  after- 
noons. 

The  Social  Science  department  has  for  curator  this 
year  Mrs.  W.  S.  Bartlett,  one  of  the  most  highly  edu- 
cated and  forceful  women  in  Ebell,  who  is  especially 
well  fitted   to   lead   this   work. 

When  asked  what  was  the  object  of  the  work  in 
the  Social  Science  department,  Mrs.  Bartlett  said, 
"The  object  is  to  lead  women  to  do  their  own  think- 
ing. Most  people  acquire  much  more  knowledge  than 
they  can  assimilate,  and  the  result  is  acute  mental 
indigestion.  One  idea  acted  upon,  is  better  than  a 
dozen  laid  away  in  moth  balls." 

An  example  of  the  interesting  programs  of  this  de- 
partment which  occur  on  the  first  Wednesday  of  the 
month,  is  the  meeting  of  January  2d  when  "Heredity 
and  the  Melting  Pot"  was  discussed  in  a  scholarly 
way  by  Mrs.  William  W.  Orcutt.  Mrs.  Orcutt  spoke 
of  alien  heredity  upon  our  naturalized  citizens.  She 
quoted  many  eminent  authorities  to  prove  that  the 
Melting  Pot  was  not  entirely  efficient  and  that  the 
Americans  of  the  future  give  cause  for  serious  anxi- 
ety. "If  the  ideals  and  principles  upon  which  the 
nation  was  founded  are  to  be  preserved,  the  original 
race  strain  must  not  be  over  diluted,"  she  said. 


Mrs.  W.  S.  Bartlett  spoke  on  the  "Heredity  of  Ac- 
quired Qualities,"  and  she  quoted  from  Dr.  H.  H. 
Goddard  the  statement  that  "intelligence  is  an  inher- 
ited force,  while  knowledge  is  wholly  acquired." 
Acquired  qualities  of  parents  are  passed  on  largely 
through  example.  From  this  fact  it  is  seen  that  one 
of  the  most  serious  duties  of  a  nation  is  to  educate 
men  and  women  to  be  parents.  Motherhood  should 
be  considered  a  career  and  rank  higher  than  busi- 
ness or  professions. 

A  number  of  women  took  part  in  the  discussion 
which  followed  and  a  lively  interest  in  the  subject 
developed. 

Mrs.  Archibald  Hansen  gave  a  review  of  "Cur- 
rent Events  of  the  Month"  in  a  most  interesting  way. 
She  made  her  audience  realize  that  in  art,  science 
and  politics  the  world  is  moving  and  this  is  not  an 
age  of  laggards. 

At  the  luncheon  which  followed  Mrs.  Grantland 
S.  Long  introduced  Mrs.  Gertrude  Ross,  just  returned 
from  New  York  who  told  of  the  latest  plays,  the 
Metropolitan  Grand  Opera  and  Eleanor  Duse. 

Mme.  Ellen  Beach  Yaw  made  a  plea  for  better 
speech  and  laid  the  responsibility  of  correct  pronun- 
ciation and  clear  diction  on  parents,  whom  she  urged 
to  take  a  keener  interest  in  the  matter. 

John  Steven  McGroarty  asked  the  aid  of  Ebell 
in  building  the  Mission  Play  House  at  San  Gabriel. 
He  outlined  a  plan  of  subscription  memberships  that 
met  with  approval  and  Mrs.  Long  appointed  Mrs. 
Bartlett  chairman  of  a  committee  to  receive  these 
memberships  in  the  club  and  Ebell  went  on  record  as 
officially   sponsoring  the   movement.

THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Sarali  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


The  inestimable  boon  of  peace!  Than  which  noth- 
ing makes  so  immediate  and  sure  an  appeal  to  women; 
nothing  so  wins  their  whole  hearted  support,  their 
zealous  strivings!  In  war  women  play  a  proverb- 
ially passive  role  ;  in  the  interests  of  peace,  therefore, 
we  may  fairly  look  to  see  woman's  role  reversed, 
we  may  confidently  expect  to  witness  her  active  par- 
ticipation in  all  that  makes  for  world  peace.  Just 
now  opportunity  looms  large.  The  time  seems  ripe 
for  women  to  make  their  voices  heard.  The  bugle 
note  has  been  sounded  by  the  General  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs  and  the  club  women  of  America  will 
not  be  slow  to  answer  the  call  to  attention  (not  to 
arms.) 

On  January  17th,  the  Friday  Morning  Club  Board 
passed   the  following  resolution: 

Whereas — the  Executive  Board  of  the  General  Fed- 
eration of  Women's  Clubs  has  passed  a  resolution 
favoring  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the 
World  Court  as  a  step  toward  lasting  peace;   and 

Whereas — the  same  board  has  further  resolved  that 
an  earnest  appeal  be  made  to  every  club  and  each 
individual  of  these  clubs  to  make  articulate  to  the 
United  States  Senate  their  opinion  concerning  the 
World  Court,  Snd  to  petition  the  national  committees 
of  the  Republican  and  Democratic  parties  to  place  in 
their  platforms  a  plank  favoring  our  entrance  into 
the   World   Court: 

Be  it  further  resolved:  That  the  board  of  the  Fri- 
day Morning  Club  herewith  goes  on  record  as  heart- 
ily concurring  in  the  action  of  the  board  of  the  General 
Feder  tion  of  Women's  Clubs,  and  in  accordance  with 
such  action  hereby  instructs  its  Secretary  to  send  to 
the  two  Senators  from  California  copies  of  this  reso- 
lution; also  to  petition  the  national  Republican  and 
Democratic  parties  to  include  in  their  platforms 
articles  favoring  the  entrance  of  the  United  States 
into  the  World   Court. 

With  her  February  bulletin  every  member  of  the 
club  received  a  ballot  on  the  Bok  Peace  Plan  and 
was  urged  to  vote.  Thus  the  club  joined  with  hun- 
dreds of  other  organizations,  private  groups,  news- 
papers and  magazines  to  make  this  popular  referen- 
dum a  genuine  co-operative  effort  to  learn  what  is  the 
true  feeling  and  judgment  of  the  American  people 
concerning  a  practicable  plan  to  secure   world   peace. 

In  the  last  of  the  series  of  round  table  discussions 
on  the  World  Court  conducted  by  Mr.  Harley  for  the 


Public  Affairs  Committee  the  Bok  Prize  Plan  was 
taken  up.  Emphasis  was  laid  upon  the  character  of 
the  men  composing  the  jury  of  award,  and  the  win- 
ning plan  was  discussed  in  detail.  It  was  made  clear 
that  the  plan  advocates  the  setting  up  of  no  new  ma- 
chinery but  utilizes  the  means  already  at  hand,  viz: 
the  World  Court,  and  co-operation  with  the  League 
of  Nations  "as  a  body  of  mutual  counsel,"  under  cer- 
tain conditions.  One  of  our  periodicals  has  well 
summed  it  up:  "Devoid  of  new  ideas,  the  prize 
plan  presents  for  the  consideration  of  the  American 
people  an  almost  perfect  test  of  their  willingness  to 
play  an  active  role  in  international  co-operative  ef- 
forts for  the  maintenance  of  peace." 

And  now  Mr.  Bok  is  brought  before  a  senate  com- 
mittee answer  charges  of  progapanda.  What  ef- 
fect, if  any,  will  this  investigation  have  upon  the  in- 
tention of  Mr.  Edward  A.  Filene  of  Boston  to  shortly 
announce  a  series  of  European  Peace  Essay  com- 
petitions, similar  to  that  of  Mr.  Bok, — French,  Eng- 
lish and  Italian  writers  to  compete  for  the  best  prac- 
ticable plan  to  maintain  peace?  We  can  only  won- 
der and  wait.  While  we  are  waiting  we  can  register. 
The  assertion  that  only  about  20  per  cent  of  the  eli- 
gible voters  throughout  the  country  register  and  vote 
should  give  us  pause.  It  is  claimed  not  only  that 
apathy  exists  but  in  some  cases  definite  opposition  to 
voting  is  manifest.  In  the  cause  of  democracy  is 
there  not  need  of  a  strenuous  campaign,  and  cannot 
club  women  assist  in  this?  While  in  Washington  the 
game  of  politics  goes  merrily  on,  we  would  like  to 
believe  that  the  people  are  stirring  restlessly,  and  that 
public  opinion  will  still  be  the  court  of  last  appeal. 
To  this  end,  at  all  events,  club  women  should  bestir 
themselves. 

Dr.  Frederick  W.  Roman  whose  addresses  to  the 
teachers  of  Los  Angeles  made  such  a  profound  im- 
pression spoke  of  America's  lost  opportunity.  "Never 
in  the  next  two  hundred  years,"  he  said,  will  there 
be  a  chance  to  have  an  American  President  listened 
to  as  Europe  listened  to  President  Wilson."  And  then 
he  added.  ^^W e  isiere  on  the  brink  of  opportiniity." 
If  we  have  the  eyes  to  see,  if  we  are  modern  enough, 
and  really  know  what  is  going  on,"  to  quote  Dr.  Ro- 
man again,  "may  we  not  find  even  now  the  brink  of 
opportunity  stretching  before  us?  Is  there  not  still 
a  chance  that  America's  lost  leadership  may  in  part  be 
restored?  If  America  still  holds  back  what  chance  is 
there  for  the  peace  of  the  world?"

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HOLLYWOOD  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

BROWNING  DEPARTMENT 

By  Sara  B.  Curtis,  Chairman  of  Broiuning  Department 


The  Browning  Section  of  the  Woman's  Club  of 
Hollywood  is,  of  course,  a  section  devoted  to  the 
study  and  discussion  of  Robert  Browning  and  his 
poems.  This  year  the  program  is  a  particularly 
interesting  one,  the  subject  for  study  being  "The 
Portrayals  of  National  Life"  as  depicted  by  the 
works  of  Browning. 

Since  the  Brownings  were  great  travelers,  the  de- 
partment decided  that  nothing  would  be  more  enjoy- 
able than  just  following  in  their  footsteps.  During 
the  month  of  October,  these  footsteps  led  to  Spain. 
And  the  routes  of  travel  were:  "The  Soliloquy  of  the 
Spanish  Cloister,"  "The  Confessional,"  and  "How  it 
Strikes  a  Contemporary."  There  were  splendid  talks, 
illustrations,  and  discussions  of  these  poems.  There 
was  a  department  luncheon  during  this  month,  also, 
with  Mrs.  L.  B.  Curtis,  chairman,  presiding.  Bishop 
Irving  S.  Cooper  spoke  on  "The  Mysticism  of  Robert 
Browning"  and  Madame  Lillia  Snelling  Farquhar, 
accompanied  by  Dr.  Frank  Nagel,  offered  a  group  of 
Spanish  songs.  Lucy  Blake  Conklin  concluded  the 
program  with  a  reading  from  Browning. 

During  November,  the  section  traveled  in  Italy, 
listening  to  most  instructive  talks  and  readings;  as 
"Andrea  del  Sarto"  by  Miss  Katherine  Tilden;  "Old 
Pictures  in  Florence,"  by  Mrs.  Ingle  Carpenter;  "The 
Statue  and  the  Bust"  by  Miss  Jessica  Noble;  and  two 
splendid  illustrated  lectures  on  these  poems  by  Mrs. 
Porter  Fish.  The  November  meetings  were  held  at 
the  homes  of  Mrs.  Ingle  Carpenter  and  Mrs.  Lucy 
Blake  Conklin,  who  extended  their  gracious  hospi- 
tality to  the  department,  serving  tea  and  furnishing 
delightfully    social     as    well    as    cultural     afternoons. 


Mrs.  Carlton  Bainbridge,  soloist,  sang  a  group  of 
songs  in  the  Italian  language  which  seemed  most 
appropriate  for  the  occasion,  and  Miss  Katherine 
Heck  furnished  some  delightful  piano  numbers. 

The  month  of  December  was  spent  in  Greece  where 
Mrs.  E.  C.  Gates,  chairman  emeritus,  assisted  by 
Frank  Head,  Mrs.  Caroline  Owen  and  Mrs.  Charles 
Ruppersburg,  introduced  the  poem,  "Balaustian's  Ad- 
venture." 

England  furnished  the  January  setting.  Mrs.  Har- 
land  Kimball  gave  delightful  touches  of  English  na- 
tional life  as  seen  through  Browning's  poems  such 
as,  "The  Englishman  in  Italy,"  "Jubilee  Memorial 
Lines,"  "The  Lost  Leader,"  "Cavalier  Tunes,"  and 
"Clive."  On  the  25th  of  January,  the  second  luncheon 
of  the  department  was  held.  Mrs.  Molly  Bloom  Flagg 
gave  a  most  interesting  talk  on  Browning  and  "Aur- 
ora Leigh"  and  Margaret  C.  Stockwell,  soprano,  ac- 
companied by  Fae  La  Grange  Lyman,  sang  a  delight- 
ful selection  ofE  nglish  songs  such  as  "The  Songs  My 
Mother   Taught   Me." 

In  February,  the  section  will  re-visit  Greece;  in 
March  they  will  visit  Russia;  in  April  they  will  reach 
Germany.  Before  the  end  of  the  season  some  of 
Browning's  Jewish  poems  will  also  be  studied.  The 
program  is  truly  a  very  comprehensive  one  and  at 
the  close  of  the  club  year,  the  members  will  have  ac- 
complished something  very  worth  while  in  their 
studies. 

The  section  meets  in  the  club  house  on  the  second 
and  fourth  Fridays  of  each  month.  The  meetings  are 
always  well  attended  as  they  are  among  the  most 
popular  of  the  club  activities.

PPARENTLY  the  electric  lighting  rate 
fixed  by  the  Bureau  of  Power  and  Light, 
at  the  beginning  of  its  operations,  of  one- 
half  cent  per  kilowatt  hour  below  the 
rate  then  being  charged  by  the  corpora- 
tions, did  not  stand  the  test  of  an  ade- 
quate return,  for  on  October  11,  1920, 
after  some  enlightening  operating  experi- 
ence, the  Bureau  raised  its  rates  to  5.6 
cents  per  kilowatt  hour — one-tenth  of  a 
cent  higher  than  the  rates  in  effect  after 
July  1,  1914.  or  nearly  three  years  before 
the    Bureau    started    to    operate! 

The  householder  who  uses  20  kilowatt 
hours  per  month  today  pays  for  his  elec- 
tric service  $1.12.  In  July,  1914,  the

The  CLUBWOMAN 


TUESDAY  AFTERNOON   CLUB   OF   GLENDALE 


By  Miss  E-va  Daniels,  Press  Chairman 


The  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glendale  is  a  hum- 
ming, thriving  organization.  Busy  at  all  times  as  it 
has  been  to  put  over  its  clubhouse,  there  has  been  no 
let-up  now  that  this  realization  has  been  fulfilled 
in  a  building  even  more  beautiful  than  the  most  san- 
guine mind  could  picture;  furnished  vpith  exquisite 
taste,  really  a  symphony  of  art — a  monument  of 
womanhood  which   spells  co-operation. 

Its  presiding  officer,  Mrs.  Daniel  Campbell,  to- 
gether with  the  executive  board  are  of  necessity  busy, 
trying  to  solve  the  problems  of  finance,  which  in  an 
undertaking  of  this  magnitude  is  no  easy  task  but 
the  club  has  in  its  first  vice-chairman  and  chairman 
of  Ways  and  Means,  Mrs.  A.  H.  Montgomery,  a  "go- 
getter"  whose  relentless  money-making  schemes  have 
been  far-reaching  in  their  success. 

The  budget  for  the  year  amounts  to  the  goodly  sum 
of  $26,500  which  is  a  rather  startling  figure,  but 
with  the  leasing  of  the  auditorium,  banquet  room,  tea 
room,  etc.,  for  various  occasions  of  every  descrip- 
tion from  which  good  rentals  are  secured,  this  sum 
has  no  terrors,  although  it  cannot  be  minimized  that 
the  same  co-operation  by  its  members  is  necessary  in 
order  to  maintain  its  standard. 

A  reaction  to  laxity  of  purpose  is  guarded  against 
by  its  many  sections  where  individual  taste  may  be 
satisfied,  and  women  meet  in  the  closer  companion- 
ship of  a  smaller  group.  Each  section,  a  unit  of 
power  in  itself,  whether  it  be  in  Music,  Art,  Drama, 
Literature,  has  in  its  group  women  whose  abilities 
are  established,  who  give  freely  of  their  talents  for 
club  service. 

Sections  are  allowed  the  use  of  the  rooms  for  meet- 
ings, and  each  day  the  building  is  alive  with  hustling 
womanhood  as  section  meetings  are  held  twice  a  month 
while  the  club  convenes  every  Tuesday  alternately 
with  a  luncheon  at  which  prominent  speakers,  special- 
ists in  their  respective  lines,  talk  on  various  subjects 
of  world  wide  interest. 

Programs  of  the  best  are  provided  for  the  mem- 
bers, and  with  the  thought  of  instruction  rather  than 
entertainment  in  mand  many  of  them  have  been 
given  by  lecturers  of  note. 

The  establishment  of  a  Bible  Section,  with  Miss 
Winifred  Rouzee  as  its  instructor,  which  has  been 
thrown  open  to  the  entire  community  has  met  with 
success  so  great  that  even  men  of  the  city  take  advan- 
tageof   this   study   with   gratefulness. 

A  power  in  Glendale,  the  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club, 
in  order  to  serve  the  youth  of  the  city,  tenders  to 
community  service  the  use  of  its  banquet  hall  where 
the  young  folks  meet  once  or  twice  a  month  to  enjoy 
dancing  and  games  in  good  environment,  under  proper 
supervision.  Equally  is  this  friendship  reciprocated 
by  friends  of  the  community  who  have  presented  many 
splendid  gifts  which  adorn  the  clubhouse  and  include 
beautiful   paintings,   statuary,  pottery,   etc. 

The  club  has  been  fortunate  in  the  choice  of  a  Fine 
Arts  chairman,  Mrs.  Roy  Ballagh,  who  through  the 
courtesy  of  many  artists,  has  been  able  to  have  an 
exhibit  of  fine  paintings,  etchings,  and  water  colors 
on  disulay  in  the  banquet  hall  for  each  meeting. 

The  club  hostess,  Mrs.  A.  A.  Barton,  a  member  of 
the  executive  board  is  present  each  day  from  9  a.  m. 
to  4  p.  m.,  and  is  kepe  busy  greeting  visitors  from 
every  state  in  the  union,  who  express  admiration  and 
delight  in  the  wonderful  achievement. 

Mrs.  P.  S.  McNutt,  who  is  well  known  throughout 
the   district,   is   club   parliamentarian,   and   meets   with 


the  board  twice  a  month  as  well  as  with  the  Parlia- 
mentary Law  Section,  of  which  Mrs.  C.  A.  Brand- 
stater   is   curator. 

The  Drama  Section,  which  has  done  wonderful 
work  hertofore,  and  of  which  Mrs.  Max  Green  is 
curator,  is  rehearsing  a  play  to  be  presented  in  the 
near  future. 

The  Shakespeare  Section,  under  the  curatorship  of 
Mrs.  Walter  Jones;  the  Literature  Section,  of  which 
Mrs.  Harry  C.  Wilcox  is  curator;  and  the  Music 
Section,  with  Mrs.  Warren  Roberts  in  charge,  are 
also  preparing  programs  with  the  idea  of  financial 
support,  and  in  order  that  there  be  no  conflict  in  dates, 
each  section  has  chosen  a  certain  month  in  which  to 
carry  out  its  program. 

The  club  includes  in  its  membership  many  women 
who  have  held,  and  are  holding  prominent  positions 
in  clubdom.  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Toll,  Federation  Presi- 
dent of  the  District,  is  not  only  a  member  but  a  resi- 
dent of  Glendale,  greatly  beloved  in  her  community. 
Recently  a  pretty  compliment  was  paid  Mrs.  Toll, 
who  in  order  to  plan  arrangements  for  the  District 
Convention,  to  be  held  in  Glendale  on  April  8-9-10, 
had  written  a  letter  to  Mrs.  Campbell  requesting  that 
a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  to  meet  with  her  in 
the  clubhouse  on  a  certain  date.  Imagine  the  surprise 
of  Mrs.  Toll,  when  at  the  close  of  the  meeting  she 
was  ushered  into  the  banquet  room,  and  at  chairs 
beside  the  beautifully  appointed  tables,  stood  the  en- 
tire advisory  committee,  comprising  sixty  women, 
many  of  them  well  known  to  her  through  their  activ- 
ities in  Parent-Teacher  work  when  she  presided  over 
the  Glendale  Federation  P.  T.  A.  Mrs.  Toll,  in  her 
gracious  manner,  accepted  the  tribute  with  a  little 
less  composure  than  usual,  and  expressed  her  joy  at 
the  opportunity  of  being  with  her  neighbors  and 
friends  in  this  delightful  surprise.  She  was  seated 
at  a  table  exclusively  reserved  for  former  presidents 
of  the  club,  among  whom  were  Mrs.  C.  E.  Hutchin- 
son, Mrs.  Mattison  B.  Jones,  Mrs.  H.  E.  Bartlett,  and 
Mrs.  Robert  Blackburn. 

Each  was  called  upon  to  speak  by  Mrs.  Campbell 
after  Mrs.  Toll  had  inspired  the  guests  with  her  mes- 
sage of  hope  for  the  future. 

The  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glendale,  num- 
bering one  thousand  in  its  membership,  and  presided 
over  by  a  charming,  gracious  woman,  is  always  en- 
deavoring to  live  by  its  motto,  "In  Unity  There  Is 
Strength."

— that  is  the  basis  on  which  the  Starr 
Piano  has  been  built  for  over  50  years. 
"We  will  make  the  very  best  piano 
we  can — the  very  best  we  know  how — 
and  let  price  take  care  of  itself,"  said 
the  earnest  founders  of  The  Starr 
Piano   Company. 

And  that  has  been  the  guiding  prin- 
ciple of  Starr  construction  ever  since. 
Yet  the  price  of  the  Starr  is  even  less 
than  that  of  many  other  instruments. 
Being  made  in  the  world's  largest 
piano  factory,  with  the  greatest  facili- 
ties, minimum  cost  is  a  natural  result.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  PRESENT  CONDITION  OF  THE   MISSIONS 

By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  L.  A.  District  Chairman  California  F.   W .  C. 
(Continued  from  Last  Month) 


Mission  San  Fernando  Rev  de  Espana  needs  our 
help.  It  is  a  plain,  pathetic,  tumbled-down  ruin  that 
reminds  one  of  an  invalid  child  whose  parents,  either 
through  thoughtlessness,  ignorance  or  willful  neglect, 
hav  allowed  it  to  become  deformed.  One  wonders, 
oftentimes,  what  kind  of  reasoning  can  excuse  the 
neglect  of  a  place  once  consecrated  to  the  service  of 
God  Almighty,  Christ  and  Mary.  If  the  ground  is 
holy — keep  it  holy;  if  the  chapel  has  been  consecrated 
— keep  it  sacred  or  raze  it  completely,  for  the  present 
condition  of  the  church  building  is  a  disgrace  to  the 
community  and  it  has  continued  in  this  condition  so 
many  years  that  anyone  feels  free  to  protest — and 
everyone  visiting  the  place  does  protest,  and  that 
freely.  The  Mission  was  founded  by  Frs.  Francisco 
Fermin  Lasuen  and  Francisco  Duraetz  on  September 
8,  1797.  The  present  building  was  constructed  in  1818, 
over  a  hundred  years  ago,  and  is  a  sacred  landmark 
that  should  be  preserved.  The  monastic  rooms  that 
are   still   standing   are   in  fairly  good   repair. 

The  City  of  Los  Angeles  owns  and  maintains  a 
very  interesting  and  beautiful  park  opposite  the  for- 
lorn old  Mission  and  in  a  manner  offsets  the  bleak 
aspect  of  the  building.  Brand  Park  and  its  Memory 
Garden  is  a  brain-child  of  Mrs.  Martha  Nelson 
McCan  and  it  is  rapidly  developing  into  a  wonder- 
child. 

Mission  San  Buenaventura,  the  last  Mission  found- 
ed by  Fr.  Serra,  is  kept  in  excellent  condition.  It 
has  long  been  the  parish  church  of  Ventura.  The 
Mission  was  founded  in  1782  and  the  present  build- 
ing was  built  in   1809,  that  is  the  walls   and   the  two

storied  belfry  are  of  the  original  structure  but  the 
roof  and  many  of  the  windows  are  new.  In  1820 
the  Mexican  Government  owed  to  the  Mission  San 
Buenaventura  the  neat  sum  off  $35,170.  There  is  no 
record  it  was  ever  paid.  The  debt  was  contracted 
for  produce  and  for  a  cargo  of  hemp  and  general 
supplies  for  the  soldiers.  During  secularization  the 
Mission  was  sold  but  when  California  was  acquired 
by  the  United  States  the  title  was  not  recognized  as 
valid  and  the  property  was  returned  to  the  church. 

Mission  Santa  Barbara  was  founded  December  4, 
1786,  by  Father  Francisco  Fermin  Lasuen,  who  had 
been  appointed  president  of  all  of  the  Missions, — 
Father  Serra  having  died  in  1784. 

The  first  chapel  was  constructed  of  boughs.    Within 


a  year  a  church  building  of-  adobe  was  completed  and 
by  1789  it  had  become  necessary  to  enlarge  the  chapel 
in  order  to  accommodate  the  worshippers.  By  1793 
a  new  and  still  larger  building  was  constructed.  This 
one  sufficed  until  1815  when  the  present  beautiful 
edifice  was  begun.  It  took  five  years  to  complete  it. 
It  is  in  an  excellent  state  of  repair  and  is  inhabited 
by  a  company  of  friars.  Santa  Barbara  was  the  only 
Mission  wherein  the  Franciscans  at  no  time  surren- 
dered entire  control.  It  was  secularized  in  1834  but 
the  padres  steadfastly  kept  possesion  and  are  in  pos- 
session today.

THE  EBELL  CLUB  OF  LONG  BEACH 


The  Ebell  of  Long  Beach  is  haviDg  a  most  enjoy- 
able and  successful  year.  Plans  are  being  perfected 
for  a  new  club  home,  and  in  the  interim  the  meetings 
are  being  held  in  the  California  theater. 

Almost  two  hundred  new  members  have  entered 
during  this  club  year,  bringing  up  the  membership 
to  more  than  one  thousand.  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Van  de 
Water  is  president. 

Very  attractive  programs  are  being  presented  at 
the  regular  weekly  meetings  of  the  club.  On  the 
first  Monday  of  each  month,  the  particular  problems 
and  aspects,  social  and  political,  of  foreign  nations 
are  being  considered,  to  the  end  that  a  more  sympa- 
thetic understanding  of  them  may  be  had  by  the 
club  women.  The  series  will  be  concluded  bv  a  lec- 
ture on  "International  Relations."  These  are  real- 
ly study  programs,  and  have  in  view  the  building 
up  of  a  sentiment  for  better  international  relations 
which  shall  deepen  the  consciousness  of  the  neces- 
sity for   world   peace. 

The  other  weekly  programs  are  musical,  dramatic 
or  lectures  by  notables — Gloria  Wayne,  with  her 
Indian  entertainment;  Selma  Lenhart  in  "Erstwhile 
Susan";  Arthur  Kachei  in  "The  Fool";  Ethel  El- 
liott Swan  in  "Will  Shakespeare",  furnish  some  of 
the  dramatic  programs.  Edmund  Vance  Cook,  Ger- 
trude Rosa,  Dr.  Herbert  Willett,  Opie  Reed,  Frieda 
Peycke,  Grace  Sage  and  Anthony  Enwer  provide 
most  worth-while  entertainments,  and  various  musical 
organizations  are  being  heard.  The  Philharmonic 
Trio,  the  Cavan  Welsh  Singers,  the  Lyric  Club  and 
Woman's  Music  Study  Club,  and  Mrs.  Ada  Potter 
Wiseman,  with  Kittie  Richards  Foote  and  Ora  Keck, 
all    appear    during   the   year.      Such   ministers    as    Dr. 


Henry  Kendall  Booth  of  Long  Beach,  Dr.  Luther 
Freeman  of  Pomona,  Dr.  Herbert  Willett  of  Chicago 
— also  Dr.  B.  R.  Baumgardt,  Miss  Emily  Wheeler 
and  Mrs.  Oliver  Bainbridge  give  the  more  intensive 
lecture    programs. 

The  Ebell  has  many  interesting  departments,  such 
as  Art,  Bible  Literature,  Americanization,  Current 
Events  and  Books,  Drama,  Shakespeare,  Needlecraft, 
Home  Economics,  Indian  Welfare,  Parliamentary 
Law,  Social,  Solar  Magnetics,  Travel  and  the  Junior 
Auxiliary,  which  has  as  members  almost  one  hun- 
dred young  women.  In  addition  there  are,  of  course, 
many  committees  whose  work  is  quite  important.  It 
can  readily  be  seen  that  the  Ebell's  members  are  a 
busy  body  of  women,  who  are  doing  worth-while 
things. 

The  plans  for  a  new  club  home  provide  for  an 
auditorium  to  seat  at  least  one  thousand,  a  com- 
modius  dining  room,  club  rooms,  rest  rooms,  kitchen, 
a  roomy  stage  and  all  the  features  which  will  make 
it  a  pleasant  and  interesting  home  for  the  largest 
club  in  Long  Beach.  Upon  its  completion  it  is  prob- 
able that  a  much  larger  membership  will  gradually 
come  into  the  work  and  much  will  be  accomplished 
in  a  multitude  of  ways  for  the  civic  and  intellectual 
development    of    the    city. 

It  is  safe  to  say  that  no  body  of  women  has  a 
stronger  place  in  the  esteem  of  the  citizens,  and  the 
club  is  called  upon  many  times  to  wield  an  infiuence 
in  civic  and  moral  questions.  Such  a  club  has  a 
very  great  responsibility  and  it  is  the  earnest  hope 
of  the  Ebell  members  that  the  Ebell  shall  measure 
up  to  her  duties  in  every  way.

SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA   WOMAN'S    PRESS    CLUB 

By  Hazel  Ketcham  Gough,  First  Vice  President 


Across  plains  of'  progress,  through  fields  of  ac- 
tivity, up  trails  of  endeavor  to  lofty  peaks  of  achieve- 
ment is  the  itinerary  every  member  of  the  Southern 
California  Woman's  Press  Club  has  mapped  out  for 
herself  individually  and  the  club  collectively  for  the 
coming  year.  Inspired  by  the  zeal  and  enthusiasm 
of  the  president,  Blanche  Harriman  Verbeck,  who  is 
so  successfully  blazing  a  trail  of  advancement  ahead, 
and  spurred  on  by  the  innate  urge  for  creative  enter- 
prise along  literary,  musical  and  artistic  lines,  this 
club,  with  the  object  of  "advancing  the  professional 
interests  of  women  who  have  been,  or  are  actively 
connected  with  the  press,"  is  making  notable  head- 
way in  its  special  line  of  endeavor. 

Many  are  the  factors  which  contribute  to  this 
progress,  including  a  steadily  enlarging  membership, 
with  loyal  cooperation,  mutual  uplifting,  and  general 
good  fellowship  prevailing,  a  short  story  section  in 
flourishing  condition,  a  literary  marketing  bureau  con- 
ducing to  commercial  success,  and  several  other  ad- 
juncts of  activity.  But  chief  among  all  sources  of 
inspiration  are  the  semi-monthly  programs,  featuring 
writers,  composers  and  artists  of  international  re- 
nown, which  refresh  and  enthuse  the  membership 
on   their   aspiring  climb.     These  programs,  given   un- 


der the  direction  of  the  president,  are  presented  by 
Edna  Sterrett,  chairman  of  Open  Programs;  Hazel 
Ketcham  Gough,  chairman  of  Shop  Talk  Programs, 
and  Elizabeth  McCabe  Gilmore,  chairman  of  music. 
Guests  of  members  are  received  upon  Open  Program 
days,  but  the  Shop  Talk  programs — real  "family" 
assemblies — are  restricted  to  members  only.  In  the 
open  meetings  not  only  do  celebrities  appear  as  speak- 
ers and  entertainers  but  twenty  or  twenty-five  famed 
honor  guests  are  each  month  informally  introduced 
to    the    members    and    guests. 

Although  Mrs.  Sterrett,  as  Open  Program  chair- 
man last  year,  presented  to  her  audiences  a  long  list 
of  eminent  people,  distinguished  in  every  line  of  cre- 
ative endeavor,  she  is  already  verifying  her  prom- 
ise of  equally  notable  features  this  year  by  giving 
programs  of  superior  merit  in  October  and  Novem- 
ber. 

The  President's  Program,  given  by  Mrs.  Verbeck 
last  year  during  the  Christmas  season,  upon  the  sub- 
ject of  the  Bible,  was  so  inspiring  and  received  with 
such  great  appreciation  that  she  repeated  a  program 
upon  the  same  subject  December  18th  of  this  year, 
which  was  equally  impressive.  Idah  McGlone  Gib- 
son  spoke   on   "The  Ten   Commandments",   "The   Art

of  the  Bible"  was  enlarged  upon  by  F.  Carl  Smith, 
?nd  Judge  Benjamin  Bledsoe  gave  a  masterly  ex- 
position of  "The  Literature  of  the  Bible."  Biblical 
music  was  rendered  by  Alice  Forsyth  Mosher,  Frank 
Geiger   and   Mrs.   Carl   Arbenz. 

As  chairman  of  Shop  Talk  Programs  last  year 
Mrs.  Gough  featured  the  original  work  of  members 
at  the  closed  meetings,  but  this  year  acting  as  gen- 
eral Shop  Talk  Program  chairman,  she  has  appoint- 
ed special  chairmen  from  the  membership  to  give 
programs  on  assigned  subjects  for  the  different  months 
of  the  club  year.  The  first  of  these  programs,  given 
in  September,  was  on  the  subjects  of  "Lyrics"  and 
was  delightfully  presented  by  Mrs.  Allison  Gaw. 
"Drama"  was  ably  handled  in  November  by  Minnie 
Z.  Jaifa  with  an  excellent  program,  and  the  compre- 
hensive treatment  of  the  subject  "Fiction  and  Verse" 
in  the  December  program,  given  by  Rose  Ellerbe, 
was  most  distinctive  in  character.  As  the  January 
program  was  dated  for  New  Year's  Day  the  program 
to  have  been  given  by  Florence  Pierce  Reed  will  ap- 
pear as  part  of  an  evening  program  later.  In  Feb- 
ruary Mrs.  William  Kirtley  Chambers  will  present 
a  program  on  "Scenarios",  in  March   "Feature  Writ- 


ing" will  be  elaborated  upon  in  a  program  by  Kath- 
erine  Lipke,  "The  Short  Story"  will  receive  expert 
treatment  by  Nell  Alexander  Martin  in  April,  and 
in  May  "Newspaper  Articles  and  Editorials"  as  a 
subject  will  be  treated  under  the  capable  supervision 
of   Grace   Frye. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Verbeck  have  offered  several  prizes 
for  the  contests  during  the  year,  including  a  prize 
of  $10  for  the  best  Shop  Talk  program  given,  which 
will  be  decided  at  the  June  meeting  in  charge  of 
Mrs.    Gough. 

An  evening  vaudeville  program  featuring  the  work 
of  Press  Club  members  will  be  given  in  February, 
and  will  constitute  the  most  ambitious  enterprise  in 
the  way  of  the  Club's  entertainment  for  the  year. 
The  annual  banquet,  with  a  large  assemblage  of  cele- 
brated people,  always  comprises  the  most  brilliant 
social   event. 

With  the  splendid  source  of  inspiration  these  pro- 
grams offer,  supplemented  by  many  other  open  paths 
facilitating  travel,  the  outlook  for  the  year  promises 
that  the  members  may  not  only  scale  the  Heights  of 
Desire  but  shall  also  press  on  into  the  Land  of  Attain- 
ment  beyond.

and  the  working  together  for  the  mutual   benefit  and 
good  of  all. 

Numerous  groups  active  throughout  the  summer 
added  materially  to  the  building  fund,  while  a  rum- 
mage sale,  benefit  luncheon  and  a  bazaar  have  been 
successful   along  the  same  lines. 

Noted  speakers  heard  this  year  include  the  Baroness

Sooy  of  U.  S.  C.  on  art  in  stage  costuming  and  de-

things  for  the  Inglewood  Woman's  Club  including 
the  Christmas  pageant  put  on  by  the  Drama  Sec- 
tion. Mrs.  W.  C.  Stevens,  chairman.  This  consisted 
of  a  tableau  of  the  "Holy  Family"  and  an  original

introducing  a  number  of  well  known  characters  such 
as  Mistress  Mary,  Simple  Simon,  Peter  Pumpkin 
Eater,  Goldilocks,  and  others.  Parts  were  taken  by 
club  members  and  children.  Cooperating  with  other 
civic  organizations  seventy-five  Christmas  baskets 
were  filled  which  the  Salvation  Army  placed  in  homes

WEDNESDAY  PROGRESSIVE  CLUB 
OF  GARDENA 

By  E.  Marie  Sturzenacker,  Chairman  Press  Committee 

"To  our  club  loyalty,  to  our  community  wise  serv- 
ice." 

It  was  in  the  fall  of  1906  that  twelve  of  the  few 
women  of  our  then  small  community  came  to  the 
realization  that  the  women  in  other  communities  were 
organizing,  and  felt  that  we  should  do  the  same.  In 
our  constitution  and  by-laws  we  stated  the  purpose 
of  our  existence  to  be  for  the  "mutual  benefit  and 
service  to  our  community." 

Our  fame  grew  and  in  1907  we  were  invited  to 
join  the  District  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs.  We 
formed  ourselves  into  departments  on  the  general 
plan  of  the  Federation,  the  principal  ones  being 
philanthropy,  civics   and  home   economics. 

We  were  a  band  of  determined  women  and  by 
many  ways  and  means  raised  the  necessary  funds  for 
a  new  club  house.  Our  membership  grew  with  the 
community  and  we  added  to  our  various  departments 
until  we  now  have  Art,  Legislative,  Civics,  Social 
Service,  Music,  Drama,  Program,  Hospitality,  Mem- 
bership, Sick  and  Flower,  Press,  Ways  and  Means, 
Decoration,   Hostesses,   House   and   the   Social   Section,

and  we  feel  that  through  these  various  departments, 
our  club  is  benefiting  and  serving  our  comraunitj'.

ures of  importance  are  brought  before  us  and  dis- 
cussed by  this  committee,  and  are  therefore  more 
thoroughly    understood    by   the    women. 

The  Wednesday  Progressive  Club  of  Gardena  is 
now  a  member  of  the  National  Federation  of  Wom-

LOS  ANGELES  TRAVEL  CLUB 

By    Mrs.    S.    E.    Pettis,    Press    Chairman 
"The    world    is    advancing,    advance    with    it,"    is 
the   motto   of   the   Los   Angeles   Travel   Club    and    the

SAFEGUARD  YOUR 
HEALTH 

The  kind  of  mattress  }-ou  sleep  on  each  night 
is  an  all  important  factor  in  determining  the 
state  of  your  health.  In  order  to  secure  the 
kind  of  rest  essential  to  perfect  health,  your 
mattress  must  be  both  comfortable  and  sanitarv. 
Sanctuf  mattresses  successfully  meet  both  of 
these  requirements.  The  sanitary  eyelets  of  the 
Sanotuf  furnish  a  self  ventilating  system  that 
keeps  the  mattress   always   sweet  and   clean.

The  membership  is  steadily  increasing.  There  are 
now  seven  study  sections.  February  has  been  desig- 
nated as  home  building  month  and  various  ways 
and  means  have  been  devised  to  help  swell  the  build- 
ing fund.  A  series  of  "at  home"  days  have  been 
inaugurated  to  become  better  acquainted  with  the 
new  members,  and  welcome  presidents  of  other  clubs. 
The  Music  and  Drama  sections  are  working  hard 
to  prepare  an  elaborate  program  to  be  given  in  May. 
The  club  played  Santa  to  250  children  of  the  Los

AZUSA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

Ruby  Lal'erte  Thomson,  Press  Chairman 
A  real  "Auld  Lang  Syne"  celebration  was  held 
in  the  home  of  the  Azusa  Woman's  Club,  Tues- 
day, January  15,  in  honor  of  that  much-loved  little 
lady's  twenty-third  birthday.  She  received  the  con- 
gratulations of  all  her  dearest  friends,  among  them 
being  five  who  were  present  on  the  momentous  oc- 
casion of  her  birth,  and  eight  who,  at  various  times, 
have  had  her  under  their  care  and  supervision.  All 
expressed  themselves  as  proud  of  the  part  they, have 
had  in  her  early  education  and  development,  while 
many  interesting  and  amusing  tales  were  told  con- 
cerning  her    childhood    days. 

Mrs.  B.  F.  Spriggs,  president  of  the  club,  was 
charming  as  toastmistress  for  the  truly  delightful 
luncheon;  and,  as  we  listened  to  the  responses  from 
the  guests  of  honor,  those  women  who  founded  and 
fostered  the  organization  of  yesterday,  we  knew  that 
their  efforts  had  not  been  in  vain,  and,  silently,  we 
dedicated  our  club  anew  to  a  life  of  service  and 
genuine    accomplishment.

IRWINDALE  MISCELLANY  CLUB 

By   Mrs.    rirginia    Hosteller,  Press    Chairman 

Charitable  work  has  been  the  chief  interest  of 
the  Irwindale  Miscellany  Club  during  most  of  the 
years  since  the  club's  organization  twenty-five  years 
ago.  For  many  years  the  club's  interest  has  centered 
in  the  Los  Angeles  Maternity  Cottage  but  much 
practical  aid  has  also  been  given  to  the  Los  An- 
geles Children's  Hospital,  the  Lark  Ellen  Home  for 
Boys,  the  David  and  Margaret  Children's  Home  of 
Laverne  and  to  the  needy  of  the  community. 

The  organization  meets  tvrice  monthly  at  the  homes 
of  its  forty  members  and  six  meetings  of  the  club 
year  are  all-day  sewing  sessions  with  a  cooperative 
dinner  at  noon. 

Speakers  obtained  through  the  Federation  are  oc- 
casionally heard  at  the  afternoon  meetings.  The 
special  days  of  the  club  are  the  annual  picnic  for 
the  families  of  the  members  and  the  new  and  novel 
"Dress  Up  Party"  at  which  all  members  appear  in 
fancy  costume. 

The  club's  officers  are:  President,  Mrs.  E.  E. 
Harris;  vice-president,  Mrs.  T.  E.  Foster;  second 
vice-president,  Mrs.  F.  L.  Worley;  secretary,  Mrs. 
Elmer  King,  and  treasurer,  Mrs.  Neal  Morrow. 


MONDAY  AFTERNOON  CLUB 
j-  OF  COVINA 

By  Mrs.  Rosa  Clarke,  Press  Chairman 

The  Monday  Afternoon  Club  was  organized  in 
1898  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  F.  M.  Douglass, 
the  first  president.  For  the  first  few  years  the  meet- 
ings were  held  at  the  homes  of  the  different  mem- 
bers. The  club  was  federated  in  1900  and  incorpor- 
ated in  1903.  The  club  house,  a  brick  building  on 
the   Mission   style   of   architecture,   was   built   in    1908. 

The  regular  meetings  of  the  club  are  held  on  the 
second  and  fourth  Mondays  of  each  month,  the  pro- 
grams usually  consisting  of  lectures  on  topics  of  in- 
terest and  importance,  each  program  also  including 
some  form  of  music.  The  sections  are  numerous 
and  active  and  the  committees  are  efficient. 

The  Flower  Section,  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs. 
S.  Aschenbrenner,  studies  botany  and  the  problems 
of  the  garden.  This  section  also  gives  annual  flower 
shows  which  are  among  the  important  events  of  the 
community. 

The  Literary  Section,  Mrs.  G.  D.  Jennings,  cura- 
tor, is  this  year  making  a  study  of  the  American 
short  story,  discussing  its  development  and  comparing 
the  works  of  the  past  with  the  present  day  type  of 
story. 

The  Home  Economics  Section,  Miss  Lilian  Douglass, 
chairman,  gives  monthly  luncheons  followed  by  a  lec- 
ture  on    some   subject   relative   to   the   home. 

The  Needlework  Section,  Mrs.  E.  H.  McHann, 
chairman,  meets  with   simply  a   social   intent. 


The  Music  Study  Section,  Miss  Leora  Baxter,  cura- 
tor, is  new  this  year  and  hasn't  a  well  defined  pro- 
gram   as   yet. 

The  Drama  Production  Section,  Mrs.  J.  R.  LaFol- 
lette,    chairman,    produces    yearly    club    plays. 

Of  the  committees  the  Child  Welfare,  Civic,  Phil- 
anthropic, the  Americanization  are  perhaps  the  most 
active,  the  last  mentioned  having  established  a  neigh- 
borhood house  for  the  Mexicans  where  a  library  is 
maintained  for  them,  where  the  women  and  girls 
are  taught  cooking,  sewing,  nursing  and  housekeep- 
ing in  general.  The  children  are  taught  games  and 
the  house  even  boasts  a  piano.  Each  year  a  Christ- 
mas party  is  given  for  them.  They  are  brought  to 
the  club  house  where  there  is  a  tree  and  they  are 
all  given  some  little  toys  and  refreshments.  The 
Civic  committee,  Mrs.  E.  E.  Whitehead  chairman, 
this  year  managed  the  Red  Cross  drive  and  ob- 
tained   excellent    results. 

There  is  a  membership  numbering  between  300 
and  400.  A  new  ruling  has  been  made  whereby 
daughters  of  members  of  high  school  age  may  be- 
come junior  members  so  the  club  is  anticipating  a 
junior   membership   list. 

The  club  has  the  distinction  of  having  in  its  new 
president  the  youngest  president  in  the  district.  Miss 
Helen  Lea  Broadwell,  who  has  succeeded  Mrs. 
Charles   Paige.

ceived as  a  gift  from  Frank  Haddock,  of  Salisbury 
Manor,  a  lot  free  and  clear  of  all  encumbrances,

house  will  be  built  thereon  in  keeping  with  the  arch- 
itecture   of    the    school    building. 

A  drive  is  being  made  for  one  hundred  members

There  is  a  book  section  meeting  at  the  public 
library  twice  a  month,  an  art  section  and  a  class

Evans,  a  club  member.  Some  outside  speaker  is 
generally   engaged   for   the    afternoon. 

The  club  will  enjoy  a  Valentine  Party  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  J.  W.  Seright  on  February  14.  All

proceeds    to    go    tovjard   the    proposed   club   house. 

At  an  open  meeting  to  be  held  the  evening  of 
March  13  the  club  is  to  have  the  honor  of  receiving 
John    S.    McGroarty    as    guest    and    speaker.

CALIFORNIA  BADGER  CLUB 

By  Lillian  K.  Sessions 
The  California  Badger  Club  is  planning  an  exten-

cessful bazaar  has  just  been  held,  and  on  the  23rd

Enthusiastic  groups  are  attending  the  Federation 
President's  conferences,  and  many  interesting  bits 
of  information  gleaned  from  the  discussion  of  the 
Federation's  parliamentarian.  Interesting  programs 
are  presented  at  the  monthly  meetings  and  the  social 
hours  about  the  tea  table  gives  opportunity  of  re- 
nevfing  old  acquaintances  and  forming  new  ones  from 
their  "old   home  town."

breezy  style  and  one  by  the  president  of  Los  Angeles

Her  subject  was  "Old  Ideals  and  New"  and  all  who

the  club  by  her  high  talent  and  attractive  manner. 
Twenty-five  dollars  were  sent  to  Dr.  Maude  Wild

By  Vesta  Mason  Dolloff,  Press  Chairman 
The    Lamanda    Park   Woman's    Club    is    experienc- 
ing   a    wonderful    year    of    activity    and    prosperity, 
and    many    social    functions    are    being    held    in    the 


new  club  house.  Officers  and  members  are  work- 
ing, in  united  effort,  to  make  this  a  banner  year. 
One  hundred  and  thirty-two  active  members  were 
enrolled,  at  the  beginning  of  the  season  and  new  ones 
have  been  added  at  nearly  every  business  meeting. 

A  number  of  high-class  entertainments  have  been 
given  under  the  auspices  of  the  club  and  others  are 
being  arranged.  Convenience  in  location  and  other 
advantageous  features  make  the  club  house  an  ideal 
place  for  gatherings  and  organizations  are  eagerly 
availing  themselves  of  opportunities  to  secure  the  use 
of   the   same. 

Altogether  thus  far  the  season  has  proved  a  happy 
one  to  those  who  have  the  best  interest  of  the  club 
at  heart. 


PATHFINDER  CLUB  OF  COMPTON 

By  Mrs.  H.  E.  Reed,  Press  Chairman 

The  most  interesting  innovation  of  the  year  in 
the  Pathfinder  Club  of  Compton  is  the  organization 
of   a   Junior   Section. 

Already  this  fledgling  is  planning  to  entertain  its 
senior   associates. 

In  the  fall  we  held  a  bazaar  which  netted  us  near- 
ly five  hundred  dollars  and  entertained  a  Presidents' 
Council,  in  addition  to  holding  our  bi-monthly  meet- 
ings  and   serving   a  monthly  luncheon. 

We  have  just  closed  a  drive  for  new  members,  net- 
ting over  twenty.  Our  membership  is  less  than  one 
hundred,  so  our  accomplishment  must  be  measured 
accordingly.

By  Mrs.  Herman  G.  Bone,  Press  Chairman 

The  club  work  is  progressing  splendidly  under  the 
new   president,   Mary  Hall   Kerr. 

A  new  code  of  by-laws  has  just  been   adopted. 

California  history  is  being  studied  at  bi-monthly

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  COMPTON 

Miss   Carrie  Musselman,  Federation  Extension 
Secretary 

Reciprocity  day  was  red  letter  day  for  the  Woman's 
Club  of  Compton  on  January  15th  whenever  so  many 
of  the  presidents  of  other  clubs  nearby  and  from 
far  away  come  bringing  a  message.  The  first  vice- 
president  of  the  District,  Mrs.  Lorbeer  gave  a  splen- 
did luncheon  talk  on  Federation  and  the  Biennial 
which  is  coming  to  Los  AngeleS]  in  June. 

Mrs.  Toll  could  not  break  away  from  other  en- 
gagements at  this  time,  but  she  came  in  September 
bringing  her  usual  helpful  and   inspiring  talk. 

Other  district  officers  responding  were  Mrs.  Phelps 
and  Mrs.  Thayer.  Then  many  of  our  own  members 
came   bringing  one   guest  with   thera. 

Mrs.  Mab  Copeland  Lineman  was  the  speaker  of 
the  afternoon,  presenting  her  subject,  "The  Com- 
munity Property  Law,"   very  clearly. 

Our  Junior   Club  children   assisted  in  the   program. 

Many  willing  hands  had  made  the  newly-com- 
pleted   club   house    a    bower   of    greenery    and    bloom. 

The  ways  and  means  committee  are  raising  money 
in  the  usual  way,  by  giving  banquets   and   luncheons. 

Three  active  sections  are  at  work,  that  of  music, 
drama  and  travel,  the  latter  sponsored  by  Mrs.  W.  S. 
Stevens,  who  gave  the  first  talk  on  China  and  Japan. 

John  S.  McGroarty  has  said  he  will  come  down 
from  his  little  home  on  the  hill  and  talk  to  us  at  an 
open  meeting  some   time   soon.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HAND  MADE  FLOWERS 

Delle  M.  Phillips 
Author  of  FloiMer  Making 


For  years  the  average  woman  looked  longingly  at 
the  beautiful  French  flowers  and  bought  if  she  could, 
never  for  a  moment  thinking  that  it  was  within  her 
power  to  fashion  things  just  as  beautiful  and  as 
artistic,  that  she  herself  might  compete  with  the 
French  artists.  To  her  the  making  of  a  flower  was 
a  sealed  mystery.  It  was  something  beyond  the  lay- 
man. 

The  making  of  artificial  flowers  is  a  most  fas- 
cinating art.  There  is  no  limit  to  the  variety  of  flowers 
that  can  be  made  nor  to  the  uses  to  which  they  can 
be  put.  They  are  used  not  only  on  costumes  and 
hats  but  we  find  them  decorating  pillows  and  lamp- 
shades and  various  other  things  about  the  house.  Any 
woman  who  has  in  her  scrap-bag  bits  of  ribbon,  silk,

velvet,  etc.,  can  evolve  wonders  which  will  be  the 
envy  of  all  her  friends.  The  uninitiated  will  ex- 
claim: "How  did  you  do  it?"  The  artist  replies: 
"A  few  inches  of  silk,  a  bit  of  wire  and  a  few  sta- 
mens and  you  have  it,  if  you  know  how.  It's  all  in 
the  knowing  how."  And  yet  it  is  an  art  very  easily 
mastered. 

The  necessary  materials  such  as  wire,  cups,  sta- 
mens and  calyxes  can  be  purchased  at  almost  any  art 
store.  With  a  small  supply  of  these  on  hand,  try 
copying  a  natural  flower.  Cut  a  pattern  of  the  petals. 
Lay  this  on  the  silk  or  velvet  and  cut  carefully.  Stif- 
fen the  petals  and  then  assemble  to  look  like  the 
natural  flower.  The  first  attempt  may  be  a  little 
crude,  but  practice  will  give  artistic,  attractive  results. 
All  flowers  need  not  be  exact  reproductions.  Mix 
imagination  with  the  materials.  The  conventional- 
ized   groups    are    beautiful. 

The  American  woman  has  come  to  realize  the  need 
of  color.  Stitchery  and  ribbon  play  an  important 
part  in  satisfying  this  demand,  but  nothing  has  ever 
given  the  glow  that  the  artificial  flower  has.  Wom- 
an's head-gear  is  a  constant  proof  of  this.  The  gay 
little   flower-garden  hats   are   perennial. 

Every  woman  who  has  acquired  the  art  of  mak- 
ing flowers  can  have  an  almost  unlimited  supply  of 
beautiful  decorations  for  her  costumes,  but  she  must 
have  a  right  sense  of  color  combinations  for  an  ef- 
fective and  satisfying  use  of  them.  The  arrangement 
of  flowers  of  the  same  or  of  different  varieties,  in 
clusters,  calls  for  careful  discrimination  in  color  and 
form.  In  combining  colors  keep  the  same  funda- 
mental hue  throughout,  with  possibly  one  accent  of 
an  opposite  or   complimentary  color.

CITIZENSHIP  AND  GOVERNMENT 


The  Department  of  the  Interior,  through  the  Bureau 
of  Education,  announces  a  reading  course  on  Citi- 
zenship and  Government.  This  course,  which  has 
been  prepared  by  Dr.  George  F.  Zook,  is  one  of 
twenty-four  courses   now   available. 

"Citizenship  in  the  United  States  carries  with  it 
not  only  the  right  but  the  obligation  to  participate  as 
far  as  possible  in  helping  to  solve  the  many  complex 
political,  economic,  and  social  problems  which  con- 
stantly confront  the  country — a  democratic  form  of 
government  cannot  be  successful  unless  the  citizens 
have  an  intelligent  appreciation  of  the  problems  of 
the  Nation,  the  State,  and  locality  which  they  are 
expected  to  help  solve  through  their  choice  of  officials 
on    election     day,     and     the     contribution    they    make 


toward  the  formation  of  public  opinion.  In  a  democ- 
racy, therefore,  good  government  depends  on  wide- 
spread popular  citizenship  education  and  this  educa- 
tion is  a  continuous  process  which  ought  to  be  carried 
on  from  childhood  through  old  age.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  list  of  books  will  help  readers  to  appreciate  more 
fully  the  background  of  American  citizenship,  the 
methods  of  participating  in  American  citizenship,  and 
serve  as  an  introduction  to  the  types  of  problems 
confronting  our  country.  Finally,  as  a  result  of  the 
careful  study  of  these  books,  it  is  hoped  that  the 
reader  will  go  forth  not  only  with  more  information 
as  to  how  to  perform  his  citizenship  duties  more 
intelligently,  but  with  a  renewed  determination  to 
fulfill    his   citizenship   obligations   more   completely."

CHILD  WELFARE 


Results  of  an  extensive  investigation  into  infant 
mortality  and  its  causes  in  Baltimore  have  just  been 
made  public  by  the  Department  of  Labor  through 
the  Children's  Bureau.  In  many  respects  the  investi- 
gation is  regarded  as  the  most  important  of  the 
bureau's  infant  mortality  studies.  Previous  investi- 
gations vpere  made  in  Johnstown,  Pa.,  Manchester, 
N.  H.,  Waterbury,  Conn.,  Brockton,  Mass.,  Saginaw, 
Mich.,  New  Bedford,  Mass.,  Akron,  Ohio,  Pittsburgh, 
Pa.,   and   Gary,   Ind. 

Poverty,  employment  of  mothers  outside  the  home, 
housing  below  the  proper  standard,  short  intervals 
between  births,  and  the  death  of  mothers  at  or  soon 
after  childbirth  were  among  the  conditions  causing 
high  death  rates  among  certain  groups  of  babies 
under  one  year  of  age  in  Baltimore.  Similar  con- 
ditions were  found  responsible  for  high  infant  mor- 
tality rates  in  other  cities.  A  summary  of  the  Balti- 
more report  contains  the  following  observations: 

The  mortality  in  the  entire  group  of  10,797  legiti- 
mate births  studied  was  approximately  the  same  as 
the  infant  mortality  in  the  cities  of  the  United  States 
birth-registration  area  for  the  same  year.  Mortality 
rates    markedly    above    the    average    for    the    entire 


Baltimore  group  occurred  among  the  colored  families, 
foreign-born  Polish  families  and  the  very  poor  native 
white   families. 

Low  mortality  rates,  approximating  those  in  New 
Zealand,  which  has  the  lowest  in  the  world,  were 
found  among  the  babies  of  foreign-born  Jewish 
mothers  and  in  families  of  the  highest  earning  groups. 

Breast-fed  babies  in  every  group  of  the  population 
had  lower  mortality  than  artificially-fed  babies  in 
the  same  group.  In  the  poorest  families  studied, 
about  one  baby  in  six  died  within  the  year;  in  the 
most  prosperous  families,  about  one  baby  in  twenty- 
six   died   within  the  year. 

Employment  of  the  mother  away  from  home  during 
the  period  approaching  motherhood,  chiefly  in  factory 
work,  was  accompanied  by  a  high  percentage  of 
premature  births  and  high  infant  mortality.  Employ- 
ment of  mothers  away  from  home  during  the  first 
year  of  their  babies'  lives  also  markedly  increased 
the  hazard  to  the  baby.  Room  congestion  and  lack 
of  sanitary  equipment  in  the  house  were  accompanied 
by  death   rates   above  the   average. 

First-born  babies  had  a  mortality  slightly  higher 
than   second   or  third   babies. 


SAVING  THE  BABIES 


FORTY  states  are  now  co-operating  with  the 
Federal  government,  under  the  terms  of  the 
Sheppard-Towner  maternity  and  infancy  act, 
to  reduce  the  death  rate  among  mothers  and  babies 
throughout  the  United  States. 

The  first  official  report  of  activities  under  this 
act,  through  which  Congress  is  permitted  to  appropri- 
ate $1,240,000  annually  for  the  welfare  of  maternity 
and  infancy,  is  made  public  as  part  of  the  annual 
report  of  Grace  Abbott,  Chief  of  the  Children's 
Bureau  of  the  Department  of  Labor.  Miss  Abbott 
is  also  chairman  of  the  Federal  Board  of  Maternity 
and  Infant  Hygiene.  The  national  administration  of 
the  maternity  and  infancy  act  is  lodged  in  the  Chil- 
dren's  Bureau. 

The  only   states   which   have  not   accepted   the   pro- 


visions of  the  Maternity  and  Infancy  Act  are:  Ver- 
mont, Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Maine,  where 
the  legislature  passed  an  acceptance  act  which  was 
vetoed  by  the  governor;  Louisiana  and  Illinois,  where 
the  act  received  a  substantial  majority  in  the  senate 
but  failed  of  passage  in  the  house;  Kansas  where  the 
act  passed  the  senate  unanimously,  but  did  not  come

to  a  vote  in  the  house ;  and  Connecticut,  where  the 
1923  legislature  instructed  the  health  department  not 
to   accept   the   funds    available   under   the   act. 

Extension  of  the  Act  to  benefit  the  mothers  and 
babies  of  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Poroto  Rico  and  the  Philip- 
pines is  recommended  by  Miss  Abbott's  report. 

Appalling  infant  death  rates  in  the  island  pos- 
sessions of  the  United  States  "make  indifference  on 
the  part  of  the  United  States  impossible,"  Miss  Ab- 
bott states.  Reports  of  the  governors  of  Porto  Rico 
and  Hawaii  show  that  in  Porto  Rico  153  babies,  and 
in  Hawaii,  120  die  during  the  first  year  of  life,  out  of 
every  1,000  born  alive.  In  the  Philippine  Islands  the 
last  census  showed  the  rate  to  be  358.  In  contrast  to 
these  high  rates  is  the  rate  of  76  for  the  birth  regis- 
tration  area  of  the   United    States. 

The  United  States  has  "a  national  obligation  to 
render  (these  communities)  at  least  the  same  assist- 
ance being  given  the  States,"  Miss  Abbott  points  out. 

Important  investigations  in  child  hygiene,  child 
labor,  and  the  care  of  dependent  and  delinquent 
children  have  been  made  by  the  Children's  Bureau 
during  the  last  year.  The  results  of  some  of  these 
investigations  are  summarized  in  Miss  Abbott's  report. 

During  the  year  the  Children's  Bureau  co-operated 
with  the  Community  Health  Service  of  Boston  in 
the  demonstration  of  a  habit-clinic  for  pre-school  chil- 
dren. Dr.  D.  A.  Thorn  of  the  Boston  Psychopathic 
Hospital  has  been  in  charge  of  the  clinic,  and  has 
prepared  an  analysis  of  the  results  of  the  experiment, 
which  will  be  published  by  the  Children's  Bureau. 

A  survey  of  nutrition  work  being  done  for  children 
of  pre-school  age  in  nine  eastern  and  mid-western 
cities,  and  three  rural  communities  have  been  made. 
The  report  of  this  study  is  being  prepared. 

An  intensive  study  of  the  growth  of  young  chil- 
dren, with  special  reference  to  rickets,  to  the  influ- 
ence of  the  children's  diets,  of  the  diets  of  nursing 
mothers,  and  of  housing  and  sunlight,  has  been  made 
in  the   District  of  Columbia,  with  the  co-operation  of

the  Child  Welfare  Society  of  the  District.  With  the 
object  of  discovering  methods  of  preventing  rickets, 
a  study  in  New  Haven  in  co-operation  with  the  medi- 
cal school  of  Yale   University  is  under  consideration. 

Investigations  of  rural  child  labor  and  its  rela- 
tions to  school  attendance  have  been  made  by  the 
industrial  division  of  the  bureau  in  Colorado,  Con- 
necticut, Illinois,  Kentucky,  Maryland,  Massachu- 
setts, Michigan,  New  Jersey,  North  Dakota,  South 
Carolina,  Texas  and  Virginia.  These  surveys  have 
given  detailed  information  about  11,000  rural  child 
laborers  under  16  years  of  age,.  Surveys  have  also 
been  made  of  children  in  street  trades  in  Wilkes- 
Barre,  Pennsylvania;  Columbus,  Ohio;  Atlanta, 
Georgia;  and  Omaha,  Nebraska.  Child  labor  inspec- 
tions were  also  made  in  a  number  of  textile  mills  in 
Georgia.  These  inspections  show  a  large  number  of 
violations  of  the  standards  of  employment  of  chil- 
dren laid  down  in  the  two  Federal  laws  declared  un- 
constitutional, and  also  a  number  of  violations  of  the 
State  child  labor  laws,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  State 
standards  were  considerably  lower  than  the  Federal 
standards. 

The  work  of  the  social  service  division  of  the  bu- 
reau included  investigation  of  mothers'  pension  laws, 
of  foster-home  care  for  dependent  children,  and  a 
study  of  juvenile  courts  in  ten  cities. 

Thirty-four  new  publications,  charts,  and  leaflets 
were  issued  by  the  bureau  during  the  fiscal  year  1922- 
23.  Twenty-five  publications  are  now  in  press,  and 
24  in  preparation;  821,735  bureau  publications  were 
distributed,  an  increase  of  195,985  over  the  number 
distributed  in  the  previous  year,  but  400,000  less  than 
the  number  distributed  in  1919,  when  the  bureau'? 
printing  fund  was  much  larger  than  it  has  been  since 
tha  ttime;  98,533  letters  were  received  by  the  Chil- 
dren's Bureau  during  the  year.  These  letters  were 
mostly  from  parents  and  other  individuals  who  wished 
information  from  the  Children's  Bureau  about  some 
phase   of   child   care.

PURE  MILK 

EYE  DISEASE  CAUSED  BY  LACK  OF  BUTTER 


New  information  has  just  been  received  by  Califor- 
nia Dairy  Council  from  Denmark,  indicating  that  a 
very  serious  eye  disease  is  caused  by  the  lack  ot  but- 
ter   in    the    human    diet. 

The  information  has  been  received  in  a  letter  from 
Copenhagen  to  Sam  H.  Greene,  Secretary-Manager 
of  California  Dairy  Council.  It  was  written  by  John 
Christensen,  of  Ferndale,  Cal.,  for  years  a  dairyman 
and  dairy  manufacturer  of  California  and  an  ardent 
worker  in  California  Dairy  Council.  Christensen  re- 
cently went  to  Denmark  for  a  visit  to  his  old  home, 
and  was  commissioner  by  California  Dairy  Council 
to  investigate  thoroughly  the  eye  disease,  xeropthal- 
mia. 

While  Mr.  Christensen's  letter  does  not  convey  the 
full  import  of  all  the  information  he  has  gathered, 
still  it  points  very  definitely  to  the  fact  that  when 
children  eat  butter  substitutes  they  are  liable  to  a 
serious   affliction  of   the   eye. 

Some  pertinent  paragraphs  of  Christensen's  letter 
follow: 

"Just  a  line  to  let  you  know  that  I  have  been  work- 
ing hard.  It  cost  me  considerable  time  and  effort  to 
get  a  line  on  what  you  wanted  to  know  in  regard  to 
xeropthalmia,  as  I  could  find  no  one  who  knew  any- 
thing about  it  until  I  conferred  with  the  doctors  of 
the  eye  department  at  the  Government  Hospital,  where 
I  was  advised  to  go  to  the  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture. I  was  advised  where  to  purchase  all  informa- 
tion in  book  form  (in  Danish,  of  course).  The  facts 
are  guaranteed  by  the  Dean  of  the  Faculty  to  be 
absolutel}'  correct. 

"There  are  a  wonderful  lot  of  facts  about  milk 
as  well  as  other  food  products.  Of  course  all  we 
want  are  facts  about  miik  and  its  products  (espe- 
cially butter).  This  book  is  not  an  advertisement  for 
or  against  anything,  just  simply  facts  found  by  ex- 
perienced doctors  in  different  places  and  countries. 
It  is  mentioned  in  one  place,  however,  that  it  is  to 
be   hoped   that  the   common   people   may  be   made   ac- 


quainted with  the  value  of  milk  and  butter,  as  a  pre- 
ventative against  xeropthalmia,  on  account  of  its 
richness  in  vitamine  fat  soluble  "A". 

"I  am  sorry  to  say  that  nothing  is  being  done  along 
that  line  at  the  present  time.  I  had  an  opportunity 
to  distribute  some  of  the  literature  you  gave  me 
among  the  Mothers'  Club  members  of  Copenhagen, 
who  happened  to  be  visiting,  at  the  same  time  as  I 
did,  the  new  Government  Experiment  Station  at  Hil- 
lerod. 

"No  regulations  were  made  during  wartime  in  re- 
gard to  feeding  children;  as  a  decrease  in  xeropthal- 
mia during  the  period  of  1918  and  1919  was  noticed. 
This  is  claimed  to  be  due  to  the  fact  that  no  cocoa  oil 
or  soya  beans  could  be  imported  to  manufacture 
oleomargarine,  and  the  children  were  naturally  given 
butter   on   their   bread    in   place   of  oleo. 

"In  Germany  the  same  seemed  to  hold  true,  as 
what  milk  and  butter  they  had  (this  is  speaking  of 
cities)  was  given  to  nursing  mothers  and  children, 
while  tuberculosis  increased  in  older  children  and

"Tax  Eating" 


M 


UNICIPALLY-owned  and  politically- 
operated  utilities  such  as  the  Los 
Angeles  Bureau  of  Power  and  Light 
pay  no  taxes.  In  contrast,  the  tax 
bill  of  Los  Angeles  Gas  and  Electric 
Corporation  for  1923  totals  $1,198,- 
798.74.  The  Califofnia  state  gov- 
ernment is  supported  entirely  by 
taxes  collected  from  corporations 
such  as  Los  Angeles  Gas  and  Elec- 
tric   Corporation. 

The  electric  rates  of  the  Bureau 
and  the  Corporation  are  the  same; 
therefore  the  patrons  of  the  Bureau 
gain  nothing  because  of  the  freedom 
of  the  Bureau  from  taxation. 

But  the  people,  who  ultimately  pay 
all  taxes,  have  to  pay  in  other  w^ays 
the  taxes  eaten  up  by  the  system  of 
political  operation  under  which  the 
Bureau   is    conducted. 

If  the  Bureau  should  be  permitted 
by  condemnation  to  force  the  elec- 
tric system  of  Los  Angeles  Gas  and 
Electric  Corporation  under  its  ow^n 
control,  the  loss  to  the  public  would 
be  tw^o-fold: — 

First :  Through  the  higher  serv- 
ice rates  naturally  to  be  expected 
by  reason  of  the  absence  of  either 
Railroad  Commission  control  or 
competition,   and 

Second:  The  immense  sums  now 
paid  into  the  public  treasury  as 
taxes  on  the  electrical  business  of 
the    Corporation. 

This  is  "a  condition — not  a  theory." 


This  is  one  of  a  series  of  adver- 
tisements now  appearing  in  the 
daily  newspapers  under  the  gen- 
eral caption  "Clearing  the  Atmos- 
phere" and  giving  a  temperate 
statement  of  the  issues  involved 
in  the  attempt  of  the  Bureau  of 
Power  and  Light  to  force  the  con- 
demnation of  the  electric  proper- 
ties of   this  Corporation.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE    EBELL   CLUB   OF   LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


In  appreciation  of  the  life  and  work  of  Woodrow 
Wilson,  Mrs.  Grantland  S.  Long,  President  of  Ebell, 
spoke  at  the  regular  meeting,  Monday,  February  11. 
Her   words   were    so   well   chosen   that   I    quote   them. 

"Members  of  Ebell:  At  our  meeting  last  Monday, 
the  death  of  Mr.  Wilson  was  so  recent  that  we  could 
do  no  more  than  voice  the  spontaneous  emotions  of 
reverence  and  respect  that  came  to  us  at  the  loss  of 
this  great  and  good  man;  but  today  we  wish  to  do 
more  than  that;  since  we  know  that  such  a  club  as 
Ebell  should  carry  in  its  vaults  a  written  record  of 
this  event  which   is   of  world-wide   importance. 

"We  are  sensible  that  the  life  and  death  of  Wood- 
row  Wilson  mark  an  era  in  American  history  that 
will  flame  into  a  glory  as  the  years  go  by;  that  aside 
from  the  tribute  due  to  his  own  integrity  and  nobility 
of  character,  we  are  to  remember  that  it  was  through 
his  high  ideals  and  his  counsel  that  America  was  led 
to  make  her  unselfish  entry  into  the  war,  a  movement 
that  saved  France  from  annihilation,  and  that  will 
command    the   admiration   of  future   generations. 

"For  this,  and  for  his  many  other  achievements,  we 
feel  that  we  can  not  allow  this  solemn  event  to  pass 
into  memory  without  a  definite  and  written  expression 
on  the  part  of  our  club,  as  to  our  appreciation  of  its 
significance.  So  we  have  prepared  these  resolutions, 
and  we  ask  you  to  endorse  them." 

Resolutions  of  Respect  to  the  Memory  of 

ff^oodrovi  Wilson 

Passed  by  The  Ebell  of  Los  Angeles 

February  11,  1924 

Whereas,  in  the  long  illness  and  recent  death  of 
our  former  President,  Woodrow  Wilson,  The  Ebell 
of  Los  Angeles  recognizes  that  a  great  loss  has  been 
sustained   by  the  American  people. 

Whereas,  we  believe  that  his  high  idealism,  his 
superior  counsel,  and  his  leadership  have  been  of  in- 
calculable benefit  to  our  own  people  and  to  the  peo- 
ple of  Europe   as  well. 

Whereas,  we  further  believe  that  his  fearless  pro- 
mulgation of  a  World  Federation — ^an  ordered  meth- 
od of  arbitration, — and  his  high  principles  of  inter- 
national cooperation,  held  against  all  opposition,  have 
furnished  a  long  step  toward  the  abolition  of  war, 
and, 

Whereas,  we  have  confidence  that  in  the  years  to 
come,  when  the  difficult  problems  that  now  confront 
us  have  been  solved,  his  name  will  shine  across  the 
firmament  of  history  as  of  one  who  stood  as  a  great 
Light,  showing  the  way  to  a  better  understanding 
among  nations,   and 

Whereas,  we  regard  Woodrow  Wilson  as  one  of 
the  truly  great  men  of  all  time,  now  therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  we  the  members  of  The  Ebell  of 
Los  Angeles,  in  regular  meeting  assembled,  this 
eleventh  day  of  February,  nineteen  hundred  and  twen- 
ty-four, do  hereby  express  our  appreciation  of  the 
life  and  character  of  Woodrow  Wilson  and  our  deep 
respect  and  reverence  for  his  ideals  and  his  service 
to  humanity. 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  sent 
to  his  daughter,  our  fellow  townswoman,  and  a  copy 
be  preserved   in  the  archives  of  our  club. 

Signed, 
Mrs.  Grantl.^nd  S.  Long,  President, 
Ellen  Andrews,  Secretary. 


The  Mission    Theatre   Foundation 

"To  be  enrolled  on  the  Golden  Scroll  of  the  Mission 
Play,  and  of  California !"  This  is  the  slogan  John 
McGroarty  has  proposed  to  the  members  of  The  Ebell 
of  Los  Angeles  and  this  the  fulfillment  of  his  dream 
to  perpetuate  as  a  gift  to  the  people  of  the  State  he 
loves  so  well,  the  Mission  Play,  suitably  housed  in  a 
theatre  built  by  the  subscribers  to  the  Mission  Play 
Foundation. 

This  is  surely  a  generous  thing  for  John  McGroaryt 
to  do  and  it  is  a  gift  that  the  people  should  and  will 
cherish.  It  is  the  plan,  grown  out  of  the  struggle  of 
fifteen  years,  that  when  John  McGroarty  has  jour- 
neyed to  that  Other  Land,  the  Mission  Play,  as  well 
as  the  new  play  house  and  beautiful  grounds,  the  In- 
dian Village,  the  historic  grape  vine  and  everything 
connected  with  it  shall  be  held  in  trust  and  the  pro- 
ceeds used  for  the  purpose  of  preserving  the  old  Mis- 
sions and  other  landmarks  of  historic  value  from  utter 
ruin  and  decay. 

Whoever  takes  one  or  more  of  the  memberships  in 
this  foundation,  will  have  his  name  written  with  im- 
perishable ink  on  the  Golden  Scroll,  a  parchment  of 
finest  texture  and  manufacture,  which  will  be  encased 
in  glass  and  placed  in  the  wall  of  the  play  house, 
there  to  remain  while  time  shall  last,  and  over  the 
niche  shall  be  written, 

"This  is  the  Golden  Scroll  of  the  Mission  Play  and 
California.  The  Name  upon  it  are  Immortal  and 
will  never  pass  away  from  the  Knowledge  of  Men." 

Mr.  McGroarty's  appeal  to  Ebell  to  sponsor  this 
movement  has  met  with  ready  appreciation  and  re- 
sponse. Members  have  subscribed  not  only  for  them- 
selves, but  also  in  the  names  of  loved  ones  who  have 
passed  away,  whose  names  will  be  engraved  on  a 
suitable  memorial  tablet  and  placed  on  the  wall  of 
the    theatre. 

Mrs.  W.  S.  Bartlett  is  the  chairman  in  charge  of 
subscriptions.  No  one  else  could  present  the  matter 
so  well — for  she  loves  California  as  does  John  Mc- 
Groarty, and  believes  with  him  the  old  adage,  "Where 
there  is  no  vision,  the  people  perish." 

City    Parks 

A  sudden  wave  of  park  appreciation  has  s%vept 
over  the  city.  It  is  time  we  should  awaken  to  our 
needs  in  this  respect.  Of  all  the  prominent  cities  in 
the  United  States.  Los  Angeles  has  the  least  to  boast 
of  in   breathing  spots  for  recreation  and   health. 

The  Ebell  Club  has  always  been  foremost  in 
advocating  the  creation  of  parks.  It  has  a  committee, 
whose  duty  it  is  to  keep  alive  as  far  as  it  is  possible, 
the  interest  in  Park  Development.  Recently  the  re- 
vival of  the  schedule  for  making  a  park  in  the  Bimini 
Ravine  has  been  hailed  with  great  enthusiasm.  This 
ravine  is  a  natural  site  for  a  park,  both  because  of 
its  location  in  the  Wilshire  District  and  because  of  its 
configuration.  Resolutions  were  passed  recently  by 
the  Executive  Board  of  the  Ebell  Club  recommeding 
the  acquisition  of  this  land  for  park  purposes. 

Los  Angeles  has  striven  to  achieve  beauty  in  the 
architecture  of  its  homes,  and  it  is  important  that 
it  should  not  be  behind  in  its  program  for  beautifying 
the   boulevards   and   parks.

FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Sarah  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


Charter  Day.  April  16,  is  the  date  set  for  the  open- 
ing of  the  new  clubhouse,  and  with  the  knowledge  of 
the  definite  limit  of  time  left  to  them  all  committees 
are  working  with  increased  assiduity  upon  details  of 
finishing  and  furnishing.  Stage  equipment  that  must 
be  ordered  from  the  east,  and  many  other  items  that 
require  a  month  or  more  for  execution  must  now  be 
finally  decided  upon.  The  auditorium  chairs  are  on 
hand,  chairs  for  the  dining  room  have  been  shipped. 
To  be  sure,  rumor  has  it  that  our  linens  are  still  in 
Ireland,  but  that  is  a  minor  delay  that  can  be  faced 
with  equinimity.  The  whole  building  must  be  open 
to  members  and  their  friends  on  April  16th,  the  fiat 
has  gone  forth, — and  what  must  be  done  can  be 
done;   where  there's  a  will  there's   a  way! 

On  April  18th  the  new  auditorium  will  be  used 
for  the  first  time,  and  this  date  coincides  with  the 
appearance  before  the  club  of  the  gifted  young  novel- 
ist, Rebecca  West.  We  may  well  believe  that  a  capa- 
city house  will  greet  Miss  West,  and  that  she  will 
always  be  associated  with  the  memorable  opening  of 
the  new  auditorium.  It  is  a  common  occurrence  to 
have  distinguished  Englishmen  speak  before  the  Fri- 
day Morning  Club  but  it  is  somewhat  rarer  an  event 
when  we  welcome  an  Englishwoman  to  our  platform, 
therefore  the  coming  of  Rebecca  West  and  the  return 
of  Helen  Eraser  to  us  this  season  is  matter  worthy  of 
note.  Over  and  above  what  these  speakers  may  bring 
us  of  intellectual  moment,  we  are  impressed  by  their 
sincere  desire  to  make  themselves  one  with  American 
women  in  their  attitude  toward  world  problems;  the 
feeling  that  the  women  of  the  two  great  English 
speaking  countries  have  a  common  interest  and  pur- 
pose in  the  maintenance  of  a  worthy  civilization.  This 
was  the  dominant  note  of  Helen  Eraser's  talk  on  the 
morning  of  February  22nd,  when  she  dwelt  upon 
comparisons  and  contrasts  between  English  and  Amer- 
ican women  for  the  sake  of  bringing  about  a  better 
understanding  between  the  two,  an  understanding 
which  is  possible  only  through  knowledge  and  mutual 
trust.  American  women  have  never  sympathized  with 
Englishwomen  in  their  manner  of  obtaining  suffrage 
because  they  have  never  really  understood  the  con- 
ditions of  the  contest  in  England.  They  never  appre- 
ciated the  fact  that  women  %vere  there  struggling  for 
a  recognition  of  equality  in  other  than  a  mere  politi- 
cal sense,  an  equality  that  American  women  enjoyed 
long  before  they  obtained  suffrage.  It  still  is  a  sur- 
prise to  us  that  Englishwomen  with  partial  suffrage 
only  are  so  much  more  active  in  politics  than  we  are, 
that  already  eight  women  have  been  returned  for 
parliament,  and  that  Lady  Astor,  the  woman  who  first 


took  a  seat  in  the  House  of  Commons,  has  been  re- 
turned for  the  third  time.  The  reasons  for  this,  the 
longer  experience  Englishwomen  have  had  in  poli- 
tics through  membership  in  the  Primrose  League  and 
similar  organizations,  the  simpler  methods  obtaining 
in  their  elections,  and  many  other  things  were  told 
us  most  entertainingly.  The  club  life  of  English- 
women has  been  so  different  from  ours,  in  the  main 
serving  purely  social  ends,  that  it  is  only  since  the 
war  that  organizations  that  can  in  any  way  be  com- 
pared to  our  Federation  of-  Women's  Clubs,  formed 
for  educational  and  civic  purposes  have  come  into 
being.  The  organization  of  American  women  into 
our  great  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  is,  I  be- 
lieve, an  awe  inspiring  spectacle  to  an  Englishwoman 
and  one  that  cannot  fail  to  impress  her  with  its 
democratic  significance. 

Accustomed  as  we  are  to  the  activities  of  club- 
women, their  large  gatherings  and  concerted  action, 
we  shall  not,  I  am  sure,  fail  to  be  stirred  afresh  by 
the  great  Biennial  Convention  meeting  here  in  June. 
Coming  events  cast  their  shadows  before,  and  such 
a  forceast  was  the  meeting  of  the  California  Local 
Biennial  Board,  with  all  the  chairmen,  vice-chairmen 
and  members  of  committees  held  at  the  Alexandria, 
February  7th.  Those  present  could  not  fail  to  re- 
ceive an  ineffaceable  impression  of  the  growing  prom- 
ises of  the  great  convention  for  which  they  were  pre- 
paring. The  elaborate  campaign  outlined  at  that 
meeting  is  worthy  of  nothing  less  than  this  splendid 
gathering  of  clubwomen  from  every  state  in  the  un- 
ion. Thirty  committees,  some  of  them  with  a  mem- 
bership of  fifty  each,  cover  the  scope  of  work  neces- 
sary for  the  efficient  and  comfortable  conduct  of  the 
convention  from  a  local  standpoint.  Not  only  must 
hotels,  halls,  automobiles,  decorations,  information  and 
hospitality  be  provided  for  our  guests,  but  innumer- 
able details  for  their  comfort  and  convenience  must 
be  thought  out  and  planned  for  months  in  advance. 
Very  soon  a  bulletin  will  be  issued  by  the  Publicity 
Committee  giving  full  information  concerning  the  ex- 
cursions planned  for  Saturday,  the  "Play  Day"  of  the 
convention.  Thus  has  opportunity  come  to  the  club- 
women of  California.  In  their  role  of  hostess  to  a 
great  national  convention  it  is  theirs  to  prove  their 
ability  to  organize,  to  execute,  to  express  the  best 
traditions  of  club  life.  And  who  can  doubt  their  im- 
measurable gain  from  this  experience!  Shall  we  not 
have  the  right  to  look  for  increased  expansion  in  all 
lines  of  thought  and  work,  an  expansion  that  may, 
perhaps,  bring  us  to  a  new  conception  of  the  meaning 
of  club  life  for  women,  and  the  part  women  should 
take  in  the  life  of  the  world? 


CONCERNING  A  NATIONAL  GALLERY  OF  ART 

By  Helen  M.  Hutchinson 


A  National  Gallery  of  Art,  housed  in  an  adequate 
building  in  Washington,  the  seat  of  the  United  States 
government,  is  the  objective  of  a  nationwide  campaign 
launched  by  the  American  Federation  of  Arts,  with 
350  chapters  located  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  The 
Friday  Morning  Club  of  Los  Angeles  is  numbered 
among  these  chapters. 

Unlike  London,  Paris  and  the  capitals  of  many 
other  nations,  Washington  today  possesses  no  great 
art  gallery  building.  Nor  has  the  merican  Congress 
ever  appropriated  for  the  erection  of  such  a  building 
or  for  the  acquisition  of  paintings,  sculpture  and 
other  objects  of  art. 


There  is  a  nucleus  of  a  national  gallery,  owned  and 
possessed  by  the  government  in  Washington.  It  is 
the  collection,  the  growth  of  many  years,  that  came 
into  the  possession  of  the  government  through  the 
donations  of  private  American  citizens.  It  is  valued 
today  at  $5,000,000.  Part  of  this  collection  is  in  the 
Smithsonian  Institute,  but  the  greater  part  is  packed 
away,  because  of   lack   of  space   for   exhibition. 

It  is  inconceivable  that  the  government  of  the  great- 
est and  wealthiest  nation  in  the  world  should  go  with 
its  hand  outstretched,  seeking  funds  from  the  private 
citizens  to  erect  a  suitable  building  to  house  its  art

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  TEACHER-CITIZEN    FRIENDSHIP    LEAGUE 

By  Jeannette  Jacobson,  President 


Peace  is  but  another  name  for  co-operation.  World 
peace  means  world  co-operation.  World  co-operation 
is  the  combined  result  of  community  co-operation, 
which  means  unity  among  individuals.  World  peace 
then    rests    on    the    individual. 

The  need  is  practical  support  of  the  program  of  the 
World  Federation  of  Education  Associations;  hence 
this  project  for  a  model  plan  in  Los  Angeles,  to  serve 
as  a  parent  organization  for  branches  throughout  the 
globe. 

The  Los  Angeles  City  Teachers'  Club,  at  its  Peace 
Luncheon  at  the  Biltmore  Hotel  on  December  18,  1923, 
took  steps  toward  the  launching  of  a  Teacher-Citizen 
Friendship  League.  This  movement  is  enthusiastically 
endorsed  by  the  speaker  of  the  occasion,  Dr.  Augustus 
O.  Thomas,  president  of  the  World  Federation  of 
Education  Associations,  organized  in  San  Francisco 
last  July,  for  the  purpose  of  securing  national  peace 
through    education. 

The  following  representatives  of  organizations  ac- 
cepted the  invitation,  and,  in  most  instances,  were 
present: 

Mrs.  Susan  M.  Dorsey,  Superintendent,  City 
Schools;  Robert  A.  Odell,  President,  Board  of  Edu- 
cation; Mrs.  Charles  H.  Toll,  Los  Angeles  District 
President,  California  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs; 
A.  S.  Bent,  Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Commerce;  C.  A. 
Fultz,  Merchants'  and  Manufacturers'  Association; 
Dr.  E.  C.  Moore,  Director,  University  of  California, 
Southern  Branch;  Mrs.  Myrtle  Matters,  Parent- 
Teacher  Association;  Ray  Nimrao,  Advertising  Club; 
J.  B.  Dale,  Federation  of  Labor;  Alexander  Stewart, 
Executive  Director,  Civic,  Music  and  Art  Associa- 
tion; Oscar  Lawler,  President,  Bar  Association;  Miss 
Lloy  Galpin,  President,  Business  and  Professional 
Women's  Club;  Mr.  Carl  Bush,  Hollywood  Chamber 
of  Commerce;  Mrs.  Doris  L.  Eastman,  Hollywood 
Women's  Club;  E.  A.  Dickson,  Presidentj,  Men's  Uni- 
versity Club,  and  Editor,  Evening  Express;  Miss  Ida 
C.  Iversen,  President,  Classroom  Department,  Na- 
tional Education  Association;  Mrs.  Turner,  President, 
Women's  University  Club;  Mrs.  Grantland  S.  Long, 
President,  Ebell  Club;  Mr.  Kelso,  Men's  City  Club; 
J.  B.  Monlux,  Deputy  Superintendent,  City  Schools; 
Walter  B.  Crane,  President,  California  Teachers'  As- 
sociation, Southern  Section;  Miss  Ruth  Sterry,  Wom- 
en's City  Club;  Representative  of  the  American 
Legion;  Irving  Raybold,  President,  High  School  As- 
sociation; Charles  J.  Fox,  President,  Principals'  Club; 
Mr.  Irving  Way,  Los  Angeles   Saturday  Night. 

These  resolutions,  unanimously  adopted,  explain  the 
nature   of  the   organization: 

We,  the  representatives  of  non-sectarian,  non- 
political  organizations  and  interests  of  the  city  of  Los 
Angeles,  do  hereby  endorse  the  formation  of  a 
Teacher-Citizen  Friendship  League  for  the  purpose 
of  mutual  understanding  and  co-operation  between 
the  educational  and  citizen  groups  of  the  city;  this 
League  to  be  composed  of  all  non-sectarian,  non- 
political  organizations  of  the  city  and  of  individual 
citizens,  at  a  membership  fee  of  twenty-five  cents  per 
year. 

All  world  progress  has  been  through  education.  We 
believe  it  to  be  in  the  power  of  this  organization, 
properly  functioning,  to  establish  the  teacher-citizen 
contact  that  will  ultimately  make  of  the  community  a 
working  unit  for  national  and  then  international  peace 
through  education. 

The  representatives  of  the  aforesaid  organizations 
and  interests,  present  at  this  meeting,  agree  to  sub- 
mit to  their  several  organizations  these  resolutions 
for   acceptance. 


Reports  were  made  at  a  meeting  at  Trinity  Audi- 
torium, Monday,  February  11,  1924,  at  4  p.  m.,  at 
which  time  the  representatives  of  these  organizations 
came  instructed  to  take  steps  for  the  formation  of  a 
constitution  and  by-laws  for  the  Teacher-Citizen 
Friendship   League   of   Los   Angeles. 

The  President  of  the  Los  Angeles  City  Teachers' 
Club  is  in  receipt  of  the  following  letter: 

The  White   House, 
Washington. 

December   6,   1923. 
My  dear  Miss  Jacobson: 

Your  telegram  advising  me  of  the  plans  for  the 
luncheon  which  the  Los  Angeles  City  Teachers'  Club 
is  giving  on  December  18th  has  been  received  with 
much  satisfaction.  As  you  state  the  aims  and  ultimate 
purposes  which  you  have  in  mind,  they  have  greatly 
appealed  to  me,  and  I  wish  to  express  the  hope  that 
the  movement  you  are  inaugurating  may  achieve  the 
fullest  measure   of  success. 

Most   sincerely  yours, 

Calvin  Coolidge. 

At  its  business  meeting  at  Trinity  Auditorium  on 
December  20,  the  California  Teachers'  Association, 
Southern  Section,  adopted  a  resolution  urging  the  dif- 
ferent educational  communities,  therein  represented, 
to  take  active  steps  for  the  immediate  formation  of 
branch  organizations  of  the  Teacher-Citizen  Friend- 
ship League.

torium, Miss  Jeannette  Jacobson,  president  of  the  Los

The  CLUBPFOMAN 


SANTA    MONICA    BAY  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  E.  R.  Maule,  Press  C liairman 


Friendliness  has  been  more  apparent  than  ever  at 
Santa  Monica  Bay  Club  this  year  since  Mrs.  Joseph 
G.  Braun,  the  president,  has  made  it  a  custom  to  ask 
each  club  member  at  the  opening  of  the  regular  Mon- 
day afternoon  program  to  first  turn  and  speak  to  the 
neighbors  on  either  side  of  her.  Since  this  club  has 
nearly  three  hundred  new  members  this  season  some 
of  them  may  have  felt  a  little  strange  until  this  pretty 
cordiality  became  customary. 

The  two  new  sections  recently  added  to  this  club, 
the  Junior  Auxiliary  and  the  study  section  for  a 
greater  knowledge  of  Child  Psychology,  complete  a 
system  that  cares  for  the  needs  of  all  ages,  wee  babies 
being  weighed,  measured  and  charted  each  week  by 
the  Child  Welfare  section,  larger  children  receiving 
choral  instruction  each  Saturday  morning,  High  School 
lads  and  lassies  having  a  dance  in  their  honor  once 
a  month  and  the  regular  adult  classes  in  arts  and 
crafts,  music,  literature,  travel,  parliamentary  law, 
drama,  aesthetic  dancing  and  a  woman's  chorus  sup- 
plementing in  splendid  fashion  the  cultural  effect  of 
the   regular  Monday  programs. 

A  library  specializing  in  current  fiction,  maintained 
by  gifts  and  by  trifling  fines,  has  been  further  aug- 
mented this  year  by  delightful  card  parties  whose 
proceeds  go  to  buy  the  newest  books,  for  which  there 
is  always  so  much  more  demand  than  the  regular 
library  can   possibly  fulfil. 

With  the  pledge  to  turn  all  profits  into  a  fund  for 
future  musical  events  of  a  similar  nature  the  Santa 
Monica   Bay   Woman's   Club    has   sponsored    a   course 


of  four  Philharmonic  Artist  concerts,  the  last  of  which 
occurs  March  18  when  Mario  Chamlee,  famed  Metro- 
politan Grand  Opera  tenor,  will  sing.  Two  of  the 
concerts  were  by  the  Philharmonic  Orchestra  of  Los 
Angeles  and  the  third  by  Barbara  Maurel,  the  most 
beautiful  young  woman  on  the  concert  stage,  it  is  said. 
An  innovation  this  year  was  the  holding  of  most  of 
the  sections  on  Monday  mornings,  two  each  Monday, 
then  luncheon  under  the  sponsorship  of  some  section 
not  meeting  that  day  and  afterward  the  regular  Mon- 
day afternoon  program  for  the  club  at  large,  result- 
ing in  a  full  day  once  a  week  rather  than  several  days 
half-full.  Regular  board  meetings  the  first  Tuesday 
of  each  month  and  a  meeting  of  the  board  and  the 
chairmen  of  departments  the  third  Tuesday  and  Arts 
and  Crafts  meetings  every  Tuesday  afternoon  make 
that  a  second-best  busy  day,  while  Wednesday  is  de- 
voted to  the  noisy  sections.  Aesthetic  Dancing,  Wom- 
en's Chorus  and  Child  Welfare.  Alternate  Friday 
afternoons  are  given  to  study  of  Child  Psychology 
and  every  Saturday  morning  the  Children's  Chorus 
practices.  Thus  really  no  day  is  entirely  lacking  in 
club  activity  except  Thursday  and  that  has  been 
chosen  for  the  occasional  card  party  sponsored  by 
some  section  for  the  benefit  of  its  especial  fund.  The 
Art  Section  has  two  funds  it  is  working  to  augment, 
one  for  the  purchase  of  additional  paintings  to  adorn 
the  club  walls  and  another  to  complete  its  pledge  of 
$100  to  the  building  fund  of  the  club.  Many  individ- 
uals have  also  pledged  like  amounts  to  the  building 
fund  and  novel  methods  are  being  employed  to  fulfil 
the   obligation.

BOY  SCOUT  BIRD  HOUSE   CONTEST 

Mrs.  F.  T.  Buknell,  State  Chairman  Bird  and  Natural  Life,  C.  F.  W.  C. 


The  Los  Angeles  Audubon  and  California  Audubon 
Societies  and  Cooper  Ornithological  Club  will  sponsor 
a  Bird  House  Contest  of  the  Local  Council  of  the  Boy 
Scouts  of  America  at  the  Los  Angeles  Public  Library 
from  March  31  to  April  5.  One  scout  of  each  Scout 
Troop  will  build  a  bird  house  using  his  own  initia- 
tive in  determining  the  architecture  and  size  of  the 
house  and  its  decoration.  Five  judges  chosen  from 
the  above  named  societies,  will  select  the  five  most 
practical  houses  in  the  order  of  their  excellence  and 
will  commend  the  winning  boys  for  approval,  no 
prizes  being  allowed.  At  the  close  of  the  contest,  all 
worth-while  bird  houses  will  be  presented  to  the  city 
parks  and  placed  in  suitable  locations  by  the  Boy 
Scouts,  each  house  bearing  the  name  and  troop  as  a 
mark  of  credit  for  good  work.  The  Merit  Badge 
Scouts  in  Bird  Study  will  observe  and  report  regular- 
ly upon   nesting   results. 

A  two-fold  object  is  the  scheme:  To  arouse  the  in- 
terest of  the  Boy  Scouts  in  our  birds  through  the  de- 
velopment of  their  creative  genius,  and  for  a  stronger 
co-operative  nature-lore  interest  between  the  Audubon 
workers  and  the  Boy  Scouts.  There  is  also  a  spirit 
of  adventure  in  the  movement.  Thus  far  birds  in 
Southern  California  have  never  taken  kindly  to  hand- 
made homes  in  which  to  set  up  housekeeping  and  rear 
their  families :  but  it  has  never  been  put  to  a  sys- 
tematic test.  The  experiment  will  be  eagerly  watched 
by  ornithologists  and  the  result  broadcast  among  na- 
ture students.  Thus  the  bungalow  courts  with  open 
doorways,  nestled  among  the  blossoming  shrubs  in 
Spider-web  Castle  and  Grasshopper  Playground,  vvill 
vie  in  beauty  and  attraction  with  the  rustic  cabins 
along  Water-Beetle  Pool  and  Butterfly  Row  as  the 
choicest  feeding  grounds  for  the  feathered  tourists 
who  will  arrive  over  the  air  line  routes  early  in 
April.      Where    the    largest    assortment    of    juicy    bugs 


and  fat  vforms  can  be  found  for  their  daily  consump- 
tion and  suitable  nest-building  material  obtained  and 
water  for  drinking  and  bathing,  there  you  may  look 
for  bird  life,  as  these  are  the  requisites  for  their  ex- 
istence. Parents,  relatives  and  friends,  come  to  this 
first  Bird  House  Contest  of  the  California  Boy  Scout-^, 
and  encourage  their  interest  and  efforts  with  your 
approval.  All  are  more  than  welcome.  We  will 
look  for  you ! 


THE   GALPIN  SHAKESPEARE 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.   Caroline  S.  Bradley,  Press  Chairman 

Mrs.  Theresa  Z.  Bailey,  who  had  charge  of  the  pro- 
gram of  the  Galpin  Shakespeare  Club  at  its  regular 
meeting  on  Wednesday  morning,  February  13,  read 
a  paper  entitled,  "Windows  in  Your  Prison  Tower." 
Illustrative  of  her  theme,  Mrs.  Bailey  read  Edwin 
Markham's  quaint  poem,  "Shoes  of  Happiness." 
Mr.  Frayne  Williams,  the  instructor  of  the  Galpin 
Shakespeare  Class,  began  the  new  semester  on  Febru- 
ary 13,  with  the  study  of  "Hamlet."  The  day  of  the 
meeting  of  the  class  has  been  changed  from  Tuesday 
to  Wednesday  afternoon  of  each  week.  As  noted  be- 
fore in  the  "Clubwoman,"  this  class  is  open  to  the 
public  and  anyone  who  wishes  to  study  Shakespearean 
drama  is  invited  to  attend. 

On  Thursday  afternoon,  February  28,  at  two  o'clock, 
a  card  party  was  given  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  James 
Tabor  Fitzgerald,  2445  South  Western  avenue,  for 
the  benefit  of  the  class,  which  the  club  maintains. 
Members  of  the  club  and  their  friends  attended  in 
numbers  and  the  event  was  a  financial  as  well  as  a 
social   success.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


WOMEN'S  UNIVERSITY  CLUB 

Bi)  Maude    Tannehill,  Press   Chairman 


Friday  afternoon,  February  15,  was  for  the  Women's 
University  Club  a  day  of  fulfilment.  The  club  form- 
ally entered  its  new  home,  lighted  the  hearth  fire, 
drank  a  cup  of  tea  together,  and  pledged  itself  to 
make  this  house  an  instrument  of  its  spirit.  The  sig- 
nificance of  the  occasion  seemed  to  lie  in  the  evalua- 
tion of  the  home,  the  woman,  the  hearth  fire,  ever 
radiating  and  attracting  the  things  that  are  good,  the 
things  that  endure.  These  were  college  women  but 
the  talk  was  not  of  intellectual  distinction,  but  rather 
the  spirit  found  utterance  in  song,  voiced  in  lovely 
tones  first  by  Mrs.  I.  J.  Muma,  then  by  Miss  Ruth 
Hutchinson.  The  keynotes  of  the  afternoon  was  in 
the  Samurai  Prayer  from  an  old  Japanese  theme 
arranged    by    Gertrude    Ross: 

"May  the  springs  purely  flow  and  sickness  cease. 
May  victory  crown  our  house  and  treasure  stores 

increase. 
Evil    no    longer   grow    and    all    the    world    know 
peace." 

Mrs.  Roger  Sterrett  gave  reminiscent  glimpses  of 
the  struggles  to  attain  the  present  successful  achieve- 
ment of  club  property.  She  reviewed  the  purchase 
of  the  grand  piano  and  the  Turkish  rugs  and  brought 
forth  many  a  smile  about  former  seeming  insurmount- 
able   difficulties. 

The  ceremony  of  the  lighting  of  the  hearth  fire  was 
a  beautiful  symbolism,  original  and  impressive.  Miss 
Adele  Humphrey  presented  her  own  interpretation, 
assisted  by  Miss  Caroline  Wood,  who  used  an  historic 
Cape  Cod  lighter.  The  house  itself  with  its  real 
hearthstone,  the  spacious  rooms,  the  wide  outlook  gave 
promise   of   a   rich   life  within   its  walls. 

Miss  Humphrey's  poem  follows: 

Lighting  the  Hearth  Fire  .'^t  WoMEbf's 
University  Club 

943    South   Hoover,    February    15,    1924 
For  Woman — the  Home! 
A   fire   in  the  clearing — 
By  day  in  the  sunshine 
At  night  'neath   the   starlight 
Was   home  to  the  nomad. 

Then    caves    and    the   tepee, 

A  roof  and  a  side  wall — 

But  ever  the  fire. 

And  ever  the  woman 

With   thought  for  the  comfort 

Of   husband   and  children. 

As  wife,   the   man's   helpmeet, 

As   mother   of   children 

She   drew   round   the    hearth   fire 

The  ones  near  her  heart. 

And    thus   through   the    ages 

Until,   from   the   fire 

She   drew   the   deep   lesson 

Of  use  universal. 

Does   fire   on   the   hearthstone 

Grudge  comfort  or   beauty? 

No  more  does  the  woman 

Grudge   gifts    of    her   bounty 

Wherever  the  need  is. 

But   now,   in   our    epoch 
The    hearth   fire   no   longer 
Includes   but  the   one  group. 
It  reaches   to  others 
Beside  the  near  loved  ones. 
Now    women    are    banded 
To   move   the   world    forward. 


As   symbol   of  oneness 

in   love   and   devotion 

We    light   this    our    hearth    fire 

And    gather    around    it. 

Light,  warmth   and   beauty, 

A  drawing  together  within  the  charmed  circle 

Of   most   helpful   friendship, 

A  deep  consecration 

To   worth    while    endeavor 

Let   these    be   the    radiance 

That  comes  from  our  hearth   fire. 

This   log  from   the  woodland 

Is   touched    into    flaming. 

The  lighter  that  lights  it 

Comes    down    through    the    decades. 

Those  brave  pioneers,  the  Puritan  women 

Thus    lighted   their   hearth   fires. 

And   as   our   log  crackles 

And    sends    forth    its    heat    waves 

Let  each  of  us  kindle 

Within   her   own   being 

A   love  for  this   hearthstone 

And    all   that   it   stands   for — 

Friendship,   the   warmest, 

Trueness   of   purpose, 

A   wide    radiation   of   comfort    and    beauty. 

Our   fire!     Our   hearthstone — 

Our  clubhouse — our  home! 

— Adele  Humphrey. 
Already  the  clubhouse  has  proven  its  value  in  the 
community  as  a  rendezvous  for  college  and  club  life. 
The  twenty  sororities  and  college  clubs  now  affiliated 
with  the  Women's  University  Club  are  privileged  to 
meet  twice  in  regular  session  each  year  in  the  club- 
house and  reduced  rates  are  granted  for  benefits. 
Milwaukee  Downer  and  Vassar  are  both  planning 
affairs   to   occur   soon. 

The  evening  of  February  29  was  an  occasion  when 
members  and  friends  met  in  dancing,  bridge  and 
Mah  Jongg,  the  proceeds  to  go  into  furnishings.  The 
committee  in  charge  were:  Mrs.  E.  C.  Pyle,  general 
chairman;  Mrs.  John  V.  Barrow,  Mrs.  George  C. 
De  Garmo,  Mrs.  F.  F.  Prendergast,  Mrs.  A.  M.  Marsh 
and    Mrs.   Frank   Ferguson. 

March  1  the  club  will  have  as  guest  of  honor  Dr. 
Aurelia  Reinhardt,  National  President  of  the  Ameri- 
can Federation  of  University  Women  and  president  of 
Mills  College.  She  will  speak  on  the  subject  "A 
Retrospect    and    a   Prospect." 

The  new  office  duties  arising  from  expanded  club 
activities  have  necessitated  the  engaging  of  an  execu- 
tive secretary.  Miss  Jane  Spalding  has  accepted  the 
position  and  will  reside  at  the  clubhouse  to  answer 
inquiries  of  members  and  to  arrange  rentals  for  those 
who  wish  to  live  at  the  clubhouse  and  for  those  who 
desire  to  hold  teas,  luncheons,  business  meetings  or 
benefits.  Miss  Spalding  is  a  charter  member  of  the 
club,  a  Stanford  graduate,  and  is  well  acquainted 
with  the  personnel  of  the  club.  Those  who  are  inter- 
ested in  rentals  are  advised  to  make  application  early. 
Mrs.  Birney  Donnell,  the  chairman  of  the  building 
and  lot  committee,  reports  that  the  life  memberships 
have  reached  104  and  will  continue  until  150  are 
reached,  when  the  campaign  will  cease  for  the  present 
club  year.  It  has  been  a  matter  of  considerable  club 
pride  that  so  many  life  memberships  have  been  sold 
in  ten  weeks,  which  bespeaks  the  popularity  of  this 
plan  of  financing  the  club  property.  The  goal  is  200, 
at  which  time  no  more  life  memberships  will  be  sold, 
and  these  will  be  regarded  as  the  charter  life  members.

THE  CALIFORNIA  MISSIONS  AND  THEIR  PRESENT 

CONDITION 

By  Mrs.  A.  C.  S.  Forbes,  L.  A.  District  Chairman  California  F.  H'.  C. 
(Continued  from  last  month) 


Mission  Santa  Ines  was  the  nineteenth  mission  to 
be  established  in  California.  It  was  founded  Septem- 
ber 17,  1804,  by  Fr.  Estevan  Tapis,  and  is  located  in 
a  beautiful  fertile  valley  that  lies  between  the  Santa 
Ines  and  the  San  Rafael  mountains.  Substantial 
buildings  were  constructed  and  the  mission  soon  be- 
came an  important  station.  The  present  structure 
was  dedicated  July  4,  1817.  Santa  Ines  was  secular- 
ized in  1836,  but  the  devotion  of  the  Indians  and 
few  remaining  Spaniards  and  Mexicans  saved  the 
chapel  from  total  destruction  and  utter  desecration. 
From  1850  to  1879  the  mission  was  abandoned,  but 
the  vestments  and  precious  objects  were  cared  for 
by  Rafael  Vasquez,  a  Spaniard.  In  1883  the  family  of 
Donahue's  came  there  to  reside.  They  cleaned  up 
the  place  and  made  it  habitable.  Later  Rev.  Alex- 
ander Buckler  was  assigned  to  the  parish  and  he 
began  a  systematic  restoration  of  the  remaining 
buildings,  beginning  with  the  chapel,  which  is  in  a 
most  attractive  and  splendid  condition.  Every  thing 
is  kept  immaculately  clean  and  orderly  and  is  in- 
tensely interesting.  One  longs  to  have  money  to 
help  restore  so  beautiful  and  worthy  a  landmark 
and  house  of  worship.  The  mission  lies  two  and 
one-half  miles  from  Buellton,  a  small  town  at  the  top 
of  the  grade  of  Gaviota  Pass.  Mission  Santa  Ines 
and   Fr.   Buckler   are   well   worth   a   visit. 

Mission    La    Purisima    Concepcion,    founded    by    Fr. 


Lasuen  December  8,  1787,  is  a  total  ruin,  as  is  Nuestra 
Senora  de  la  Soledad  which  Fr.  Lasuen  founded 
October  9,  1791.  Others  that  are  totally  gone  are 
Mission   Santa  Cruz   and   Mission   San  Rafael. 

Mission  San  Luis  Obispo  de  Tolosa  stands  in  the 
business  center  of  the  thriving  town  of  San  Luis 
Obispo.  The  mission  was  founded  by  Fr.  Serra  Sep- 
tember 1,  1772,  and  is  therefore  one  of  the  oldest  of 
the  missions.  In  1836  the  total  valuation  of  the 
mission  and  lands  belonging  to  it  was  placed  at 
$70,779.     On  September  10,  1842,  Governor  Alvarado

ordered  the  lands  divided  among  the  neophyte  In- 
dians and  two  years  later  the  mission  establishment 
was  formed  into  a  puebla.  The  chapel  was  sold  to 
Scott,  Wilson  and  McKierey  for  $510,  but  the  title 
was  not  confirmed  by  Governor  Mason,  who  ordered 
the  property  returned  to  the  Catholic  Church.  When 
Lieut.-Col.  John  C.  Fremont  and  his  command  of 
450  men  marched  south  from  Monterey  in  1846  to 
assist  in  the  recapture  of  Los  Angeles  he  and  his 
men  camped  in  the  vacant  mission.  Today  it  is 
the  parish  church  of  San  Luis  Obispo  and  well  pro- 
vided for.  It  is  in  very  good  repair,  but  needs  more. 
Mission  San  Miguel  Arcangel  is  located  in  the 
extreme  northern  part  of  the  county  of  San  Luis 
Obispo.     It  was  founded   in  1797  by  Fr.  Lasuen.     He 


standpoint.  The  customary  entrance  fee  paid  by  the 
public  assists  in  the  upkeep,  but  is  not  sufficient  for 
proper   restoration  work. 

Mission  San  Antonio  de  Padua  lies  miles  off  the 
beaten  path,  visitors  are  few  and  not  altogether  wel- 
come. The  property  is  now  included  in  a  private 
ranch,  but  the  title  still  remains  in  the  Catholic 
Church.  Vandals  have  so  desecrated  the  beautiful 
old  ruin  in  the  past  that  those  in  charge  care  little 
about  having  people  come  to  look  at  the  remains  of 
one  of  the  most  pathetic  and  forlorn  charges  of  the 
church,  for  no  one  offers  any  help  toward  bettering 
the  condition.  The  mission  was  founded  by  Fr.  Serra 
July    14,    1771.      It   became   noted   for   its   piety,   pros-

perity  and  its  superb  horses.  At  one  time  it  rivaled 
San  Luis  Rey  and  Santa  Barbara.  The  buildings 
were  extensive  and  most  artistic  in  design.  Today 
they  are  in  ruins.  It  is  the  design  of  this  mission 
that  John  S.  McGroarty  has  taken  and  enlarged 
twice  over  for  the  plans  for  his  new  Mission  Play 
House  that  he  is  building  at  San  Gabriel  and  that 
we  must  all  help  him  to  build,  for  he  has  promised 
that  in  the  future  he  will  leave  to  the  people  of 
California  not  only  his  Mission  Play  but  this  grand 
new  playhouse  that  is  being  built,  the  revenues  from 
which  will  be  devoted  to  the  restoration  of  the  mis- 
sions  and   other   landmarks   of   California. 


says  that  the  ceremonies  were  held  under  the  wide 
spreading  branches  of  an  old  oak  tree,  that  many 
Indians  were  present,  bells  were  rung,  water  blessed, 
a  great  cross  and  made  and  erected  and  that  fifteen 
Indians  were  baptised  the  first  day.  A  wooden  church 
with  mud  roof  was  soon  built.  It  was  replaced  by  the 
present  structure  in  1800.  The  interior  decorations 
were  done  by  a  Spanish  artist  and  are  splendid  in 
design  and  coloring.  They  have  been  preserved  in 
their  original  beauty.  Mission  San  Miguel  is  safe 
from  destruction  by  the  elements  and  vandals  but 
should  be  further  protected  as  it  is  of  peculiar  value 
from    the    artistic    as    well    as    historic    and    religious

TO  THE  EDITOR  OF  THE  CLUBWOMAN— Dear  Madam:  Permit  us  to  express  our 
pleasure  over  your  interest  and  that  of  the  Clubwoman  in  the  development  of  business  for  our 
Southern  California  manufacturers.     The  responsibilities  of  Los  Angeles  are  great  in  this  matter. 

It  is  inevitable  that  the  thousands  of  new  comers  each  year  brings  to  this  great  land  of  ours 
will  leap  to  tens  of  thousands  annually  in  the  not  far  distant  future. 

While  our  producing  industries  have  increased  almost  beyond  belief  within  the  past  few 
years ;  they  must  continue  to  increase  for,  as  you  have  clearly  said,  there  are  thousands  of  our 
new  Southern  Californians,  come  to  us  with  their  families,  who  must  have  immediate  work.  I 
know  of  no  better  method  of  providing  this  work  than  that  which  you  have  suggested — the  sup- 
port of  our  home  retail  market  of  our  home  manufacturing  interests — making  it  possible  for  increased 
production  to  give  opportunity  to  increased  number  of  employees. 

It  has  been  not  only  our  policy  but  also  our  practice  to  place  as  many  of  our  orders  as 
possible  with  our  home  manufacturers.  This  goes  on  from  month  to  month  to  the  extent  that  in 
our  fiscal  year  just  closed  we  find  that  the  amount  of  our  local  purchases,  of  merchandise  alone, 
amounted  to  $2,522,381. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  a  sum  of  $3,514,746  was  expended  in  Los  Angeles  for  salaries, 
supplies,  advertising,  printing  and  other  maintenance  costs ;  making  the  grand  total  of  local  expendi- 
tures of  $6,037,127. 

It  may  be  possible  that  these  figures  will  give  you  a  graphic  idea  of  just  how  sincerely  Bullock's 
is  back  of  this  movement  of  supporting  our  Southern  California  manufacturing  interests. 

With  best  wishes  for  the  utmost  success  of  you  endeavor,   I  am 

Sincerelv,

JOBS  FOR  A  MILLION 

Reprinted  by  Request 

This  question  is  often  asken  in  connection  with  the  Home  Products  campaign  now  being  made 
by  the  clubwomen  of  California : 

"Just  what  difference  would  it  make  in  the  number  of  persons  actually  employed  in  this  state  if 
all  Californians  would  buy  California-made  goods  instead  of  goods  brought  in  from  the  outside, 
always  assuming  that  quality  and  price  are  the  same  or  are  in  favor  of  the  California  article?" 

In  other  words,  what  is  the  statistical  justification  for  the  claim  that  a  general  observance 
of  this  policy  will  wipe  out  unemployment  in  the  state,  thereby  greatly  lessening  crime  and  adding  to 
the  prosperity  of  every  one  of  the  state's  individual  citizens  through  keeping  in  circulation  here  money 
which  now  flows  in  vast  annual  volume  to  eastern  markets,  never  to  return  ? 

It  is  a  question  which  it  is  possible  to  answer  only  by  approximations,  for  the  reason  that  it 
is  impossible  to  estimate  with  any  degree  of  certainty  just  what  percentage  of  the  business  which 
should  be  California's  goes  to  other  manufacturing  centers.  However,  some  data  are  available 
which  make  apparent  how  great  is  this  loss  to  the  industries  of  the  state. 

The  business  of  making  furniture  is  one  of  the  most  important  in  California's  long  list  of 
manufacturing  industries.  One  city  alone — Los  Angeles — in  1922  manufactured  furniture  to  a 
total  value  of  $21,919,630,  giving  employment  to  something  like  4000  workers  and  producing  every 
variety  of  furniture  from  the  rough  pine  table  to  the  finest  specimen  of  the  cabinet-maker's  art. 

It  has  been  estimated  that  about  one-fourth  of  all  the  furniture  bought  in  California  has  its 
origin  in  this  state.  Three-fourths  is  shipped  in,  adding  freight  costs  to  the  price  to  the  consumer 
as  well  as  the  profits  of  additional  handlers.  It  has  already  been  stated  that  it  is  actually 
unnecessary  to  go  outside  of  California  for  any  kind  of  furniture,  however  costly  and  ornate.  It  bus 
becomes  apparent  that,  did  Californians  patronize  home  manufacturers  in  the  one  item  of  furniture 
alone,  the  output  of  the  single  city  of  Los  Angeles  would  have  to  be  quadrupled  to  meet  the 
demand,  assuming  that  the  Los  Angeles  furniture  factories  got  their  share  of  the  business.  This 
would  make  an  annual  production  for  Los  Angeles  alone  of  close  to  $88,000,000  a  year.  It  would 
increase  the  weekly  payroll  of  employees  of  the  furniture  factories  from  $144,243  (1921  figures)  to 
$456,972.  It  would  multiply  by  four  the  number  of  these  employees — in  other  words,  would  make 
jobs  for  about  12,000  more  skilled  workmen. 

Bear  in  mind  that  this  is  for  one  industry  and  in  one  city  alone. 


MARCH.  1924  Page  19 

Using  this  as  a  yardstick,  though  with  proper  allowances  for  industries  in  which  the  increase 
would  probably  not  be  as  great,  a  very  conservative  estimate  places  at  nearly  1,000,000  the  number 
of  additional  factory  workers  who  would  be  immediately  required  in  California  manufacturing 
plants  if  there  should  come  to  pass  a  general  patronage  by  Californians  of  their  home  industries. 
In  addition  to  adding  roughly  $20,000,000  weekly  to  California  payrolls,  the  value  of  the  goods 
manufactured  would  be  increased  by  approximately  $600,000,000  annually.  Inasmuch  as  this 
staggering  sum  represents  goods  manufactured  in  response  to  demands  arising  in  California  it  is 
fair  to  assume  that  the  bulk  of  this  money  would  remain  here  instead  of  leaving  the  state  for  good. 

Thus  figures  are  admittedly  hypothetical  and  necessarily  general.  That  they  have  a  very  real 
basis  in  fact,  however,  is  made  plain  by  even  a  cursory  examination  of  the  production  sheets  of 
any  California  industry  in  comparison  with  the  total  value  of  the  product  of  that  industry  consumed 
within  the  limits  of  the  state.  There  are  some  industries,  such  as  the  manufacture  of  certain 
food  products,  in  which  the  ratio  of  goods  used  in  California  to  goods  made  in  California  is  consider- 
ably less  than  three  to  one.  There  are  others,  such  as  the  manufacture  of  clothing,  in  which  the 
ratio  is  even  greater.     It  is  reasonable  to  assume  that  it  represent  a  rough  and  ready  average. 

Taking  this  as  a  basis  for  general  deductions,  it  means  that  of  every  four  articles  of  commerce 
used  in  California,  one  is  made  here  and  the  other  three  are  brought  in  from  distant  points — this 
despite  the  fact  that  all  four  could  be  supplied  from  California  factories  at  prices  which  would  be 
generally  lower,  quality  the  same,  than  those  paid  for  the  imported  goods. 

The  effect  on  the  business  of  the  state  as  a  whole  and  on  its  individual  citizens  of  retaining  at 
home  the  immense  sums  now  expended  for  Eastern  goods  and  of  creating  work  for  a  million  more 
workers  in  California  is  almost  past  computation.  One  thing,  however,  is  beyond  dispute — that  the 
prospective  advantage  to  every  resident  of  California,  irrespective  of  his  or  her  vocation,  is  so 
great  as  to  make  it  an  object  of  the  first  importance  for  every  such  individual  to  personally  carry 
out  his  or  her  part  of  the  bargain  and  to  see  that  all  within  his  or  her  sphere  of  influence  does  the 
same.     The  matter  is,  in  the  end,  in  the  hands  of  the  individual  consumer. 

It  cannot  be  too  often  repeated  that  this  movement,  now  well  under  way  and  with  thousands 
of  earnest  women  actively  behind  it,  is  in  no  sense  a  policy  of  "splendid  isolation"  for  California, 
Under  no  circumstances  can  the  state  itself  produce  everything  its  people  need.  It  would  be 
chimerical  and  un-American  to  attempt  it.  It  would  be  apt  to  result  in  retributive  measures 
against  California  products,  those  produced  in  greater  volume  than  can  be  used  here,  which  would 
offset  much  of  the  financial  advantage  gained.  Every  section  of  the  country  has  products  which, 
for  many  reasons,  it  can  supply  to  greater  advantage  than  any  other.  For  such  products  the  whole 
nation  is  its  customer.  It  is  only  in  those  manufactures  where  all  sections  are  approximately  equal 
in  facilities  that  becomes  efiective  this  elementary  principle  of  good  business — that  it  is  better  for 
everybody  to  buy  at  home. 


CHAMBER    OF   COMMERCE  ON  HOME  PRODUCTS 

By  A.  G.  ARNOLL 
Assistant  Secretary  and  Manager  of  Industrial   Department,   Los   Angeles   Chamber   of    Commerce

The  CLUBWOMAN 


of  Mr.  H  .H.  Crites  as  Retail  Research  Engineer, 
who  already  has  begun  a  close  study  of  the  Furni- 
ture Industry.  Through  Mr.  Crites  we  will  have 
detailed  and  comprehensive  reports  from  both  the 
manufacturer  and  retailer  and  from  these  augmented 
by  other  statistics  being  gathered  we  will  be  enabled 
to  furnish  to  both  branches  of  this  industry  an 
analysis  of  the  true  situation,  and  the  picture  will 
show  what  steps  it  will  require  on  the  part  of  each 
to  bring  about  a  close  bond  of  harmony  and  good 
feeling. 

This  work  now  being  undertaken  is  made  possible 
by  reason  of  the  "Balanced  Prosperity  Fund,"  so  we 
should  mention  this  also.  We  realize  that  Los 
Angeles  has  enjoyed  a  wonderful  era  of  prosperity 
and  to  the  end  that  this  condition  should  continue  it 
was  deemed  advisable  to  raise  a  special  fund  de- 
voted to  promoting  industries  and  thus  keep  pace 
with  the  huge  building  program  being  carried   out. 

We  are  pledged  not  only  to  stimulate  home  manu- 
factures, but  to  assist  in  securing  a  market  for  our 
products.  One  of  the  best  stimulants  to  the  manu- 
facturers is  to  stimulate  home  consumption  and 
this  can  be  brought  about  by  educating  the  buying 
public  that  to  invest  in  "home  goods"  means  more 
factories,  more  stores,  more  employees  and  workers, 
larger  payrolls,  more  homes,  and  more  money  to  be 
distributed  locally,  which  after  all,  means  a  continued 
growing  and  prosperous  city  and   community. 


Also  in  connection  with  this  it  would  be  a  splendid 
idea  for  the  women  to  assist  in  creating  a  demand  for 
the  Los  Angeles  made  goods.  They  should  ask  for 
them,  insist  upon  seeing  them,  and  BUY  them  when- 
ever possible.  This  attitude  on  their  part  will  impress 
upon  the  merchant  the  demand  for  home  products, 
and  the  necessity  for  keeping  them  in  his  stocks.  The 
club  women  are  doing  a  splendid  work  along  this  line, 
but  their  work  is  only  just  begun.  We  hear  much  in 
these  days  about  the  conscious  and  subconscious  mind, 
the  power  of  suggestion,  etc.  Surely  here  is  a  won- 
derful opportunity  for  suggestion.  After  the  purchase 
has  been  made,  the  women  should  make  it  known  at 
least  to  their  particular  circle  of  friends  that  the  very 
fine  article  has  been  made  in  their  home  town,  and  so 
indelibly  impress  the  fact  that  in  a  very  short  time 
other  women  will  naturally  ask  first  for  Los  Angeles 
made  goods. 

Los  Angeles  manufacturers  need  no  charity;  all  they 
need  is  for  the  buying  public  to  be  educated  to  the 
point  of  knowing  that  Los  Angeles  has  the  best  of 
faciliites  for  manufacturing  industries,  and  that  every 
line  of  business  and  industry  will  profit  by  their  de- 
velopment. We  all  realize  that  our  future  growth  and 
our  present  need  is  based  on  industrial  expansion,  and 
while  we  urge  new  industries  to  join  us,  we  must  sup- 
port by  thought,  action,  and  deed  the  very  fine  manu- 
facturing concerns  which  are  already  here.  Be  a 
Booster  for  home  products,  and  a  Buyer  as  well.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  GREAT  COMMANDMENT: 
'THOU  SHALT    LOVE    THY  NEIGHBOR  AS   THYSELF' 


Lack  of  sustained  and  clear  thinking  is  at  the  root 
of  much  of  the  present  trouble  in  our  national  life. 
Its  absence  in  religion  and  morals  is  even  more  dis- 
astrous. We  must  snatch  sufficient  time  for  thought 
of  what  is  beyond  time.  We  must  use  in  meditation 
enough  of  life  to  make  life  worth  living,  and  that  can 
be  done  only  by  shutting  out  for  a  space  the  glamour 
and  distractions  of  business  and  pleasure,  the  demands 
of  our  families,  the  cares  of  our  own  hearts,  to  place 
ourselves  before  God,  not  so  much  that  we  may  speak 
to  Him,  but  that  in  the  silence  He  may  speak  to  us. 
So  faith  comes  to  its  own  and  knowledge  is  satisfied, 
curing  us  of  supineness  or  distraction  produced  by  lack 
of  thought,  and  giving  us  that  moral  and  spiritual 
enthusiasm,  at  once  so  prudent  and  so  bold,  by  which 
we  become  not  the  victims  of  the  world  but  its  mas- 
ters, not  the  sport  of  chance  but  the  joyous  artificers 
of  destiny  shaped  by  divine  Love. — London  Times. 
*     *     *     * 

Rev.  Samuel  Holden,  pastor  of  the  First  Congrega- 
tional Church,  recently  said  that  in  Christianity  all  the 
vexing  problems  affecting  life  can  find  a  true  and 
lasting  solution.  .  .  .  The  loftiest  ideals,  the  pur- 
est precepts,  and  the  noblest  example  are  expressed  in 
the  Mind  of  Christ.  All  who  have  taken  upon  them- 
selves the  name  of  Christian  discipleship  will  endeavor 
to  exemplify  and  manifest  the  Mind  of  Christ.  .  .  . 
Reverence  is  the  very  opposite  to  profanity  and  all  the 
many  superficialities  which  are  so  prevalent  in  our 
worship  and  make  it  vain.  Reverence  is  the  spiritual 
basis  of  all  courtesies  and  kindnesses  even  in  our  re- 
lation one  with  another,  and  the  whole  life  and  Mind 
of  Christ  is  an  illustration  of  it.  .  .  .  While  there 
is  deception,  we  rejoice  to  believe  that  there  is  more 
sincerity  than  insincerity  in  the  world  and  more  un- 
questioned loyalty  to  that  which  is  true  and  good. — 
Daily  Journal,  Beaumont,   Texas. 


Christianity  is  the  greatest  leavening  force  in  the 
world  today.  Any  movement  looking  toward  its 
spread  is  a  movement  in  behalf  of  humanity.  When 
all  the  world  catches  the  spirit  of  true  Christianity, 
then  we  shall  have  universal  peace  upon  the  earth. 
That  day,  pessimists  tell  you,  will  never  come.  Per- 
haps not,  but  the  irfeal  is  worth  striving  for.  High 
ideals  even  though  they  be  unattainable — and  in  this 
case  we  are  unwilling  to  concede  that  they  are  not 
ultimately  attainable— make  peoples  better  through 
the   striving   for   them. — Record,  Stockton. 

What's  wrong  with  the  world  is  not  money  or  prop- 
erty at  all.  What's  wrong  with  the  world  is  a  defi- 
ciency of  justice,  mercy,  and  courage.  There  has  been 
so  much  whining  over  poverty  in  terms  of  money  that 
we  have  forgotten  the  only  horrible  and  distressing 
poverty,  which  is  poverty  of  spirit.  Inequality  founded 
upon  unjust  privilege  and  not  upon  worth  is  un- 
doubtedly wrong.  But  the  first  truth  about  the  uni- 
verse that  every  man  ought  to  learn  is  "nhat  in  the

Full  use  of  their  gifts  of  sound  minds  to  overcome 
the  weaknesses  and  fear  of  the  world  and  to  induce 
a  nw  spirit  of  cooperation  and  brotherhood  was  urged 
upon  the  members  of  the  graduating  class  at  Columbia 
University  by  Chaplain  Raymond  C.  Knox  in  the  an- 
nual baccalaureate  sermon.  .  .  .  Chaplain  Knox 
declared  that  the  gift  of  power  which  was  possessed' 
by  the  graduating  students  was  "in  the  last  analysis 
and  in  the  true  meaning  of  the  word  of  the  essence 
of  faith."  This  gift  he  traced  back  to  the  "Father  of 
lights,"  the  author  of  every  good  and  perfect  gift; 
and  in  its  nature  and  character  the  gift  is  like  that 
of  the  early  followers  of  Christ.     It  is  never  opposed

to  knowledge  and  inquiry,  and  it  is  the  opposite  of 
fear,  which  it  must  dispel.  "As  we  look  out  on  the 
world  in  which  you  are  now  to  have  your  part,"  said 
the  chaplain,  "how  evident  it  is  that  men  are  handi- 
capped and  suffering  because  of  fear.  Most  con- 
spicuously we  see  the  prevalence  of  fear  in  the  atti- 
tude of  nations  toward  one  another.  In  some  in- 
stances it  seems  to  be  the  controlling  motive  of  na- 
tional policy,  and  to  a  more  or  less  degree  it  enters 
into  the  acts  and  plans  of  every  country.  It  is  fear 
that  is  responsible  for  the  enormous  armaments — that 
distressing  spectacle  of  peoples  still  bleeding  and  ex- 
hausted from  a  terrible  war,  requiring  all  their  re- 
sources and  strength  for  recovery  and  peace,  yet  tak- 
ing upon  themselves  the  crushing  burden  of  our  mod- 
ern, costly,  destructive  weapons,  to  be  ready  if  need 
be  for  another  conflict.  The  remedy  is  not  for  us 
who  are  more  securely  situated  to  censure  and  con- 
demn those  less  fortunate  than  ourselves — that  is  only 
an  aggravation.  But  it  is  for  us  to  join  with  them 
in  the  common  talk  of  removing  fear.  .  .  .  Love 
also  will  be  of  value  in  solving  the  social  problems, 
because  it  will  bring  understanding." — Tribune,  New

The  Rev.  Stanley  G.  Russell  said  recently  that  soon 
the  lesson  would  be  entirely  learned  that  the  earth 
belongs  to  every  one,  and  that  the  maximum  rate  of 
progress  could  only  be  attained  when  the  entire  forces 
of  the  world  were  concentrated  in  cooperation  with 
the  object  of  progress  and  when  forces  of  destruc- 
tion were  no  longer  built  up.  .  .  .  The  only  solu- 
tion to  the  task  of  overcoming  the  inherited  evils  of 
past  generations,  was  the  application  of  Christianity 
to  the  problem,  Christianity  which  works  through 
men,  from  Christ. — Mail  and  Empire,  Canada.

LOS    ANGELES    AUDUBON 
SOCIETY 

One  of  the  most  delightful  meetings  of  the  season 
was  the  reciprocity  program  given  recently  by  the 
Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society  at  Exposition  park. 
Two  hundred  seventy-five  representative  club  women 
and  friends  responded  to  the  invitation  issued.  Very 
noticeable  among  the  audience  was  the  generous  num- 
ber of  men  who  honored  us  by  their  attendance. 
They  were  members  of  the  Cooper  Club,  of  the  Audu- 
bon societies,  and  writers  of  nature  books.  The  lec- 
ture hall  was  a  miniature  woodland  with  tall,  grace- 
ful eucalyptus  boughs  lining  its  walls,  potted  plants 
and  baskets  of  cut  flowers.  The  friends  were  most 
cordiallj'  received  by  officers  of  the  society  and  con- 
ducted by  ushers  to  the  bower  of  greenery  which  half 
concealed  and  half  revealed  an  attractive  table  pre- 
sided over  by  our  prettiest  ladies,  who  dispensed 
refreshing  and  delicious  fruit  punch.  In  other  parts 
of  the  hall  were  arranged  exhibits  demonstrating 
Audubon  work;  a  collection  of  photographs  of  gulls 
mounted  in  groups,  presented  to  the  society  by  W.  E. 
Wyman,  curator  of  the  Museum  of  History,  Science 
and  Art;  a  variety  of  bird  nests,  also  of  bird  skins. 
The  emblems  of  the  society,  the  western  Tanager,  the 
Mariposa  lily,  and  the  California  live  oak  were  in 
evidence.  On  still  another  table  were  books  from  the 
library  of  the  organization  and  leaflets  for  distribu- 
tion,  making   altogether   a   very  satisfactory   showing. 

The  meeting  was  called   to  order  by  the   president,

The  CLUBWOMAN 


Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  who  announced  the  regular  order 
of  business,  wishing  to  give  our  guests  a  typical  pro- 
gram. Minutes  were  read  by  Mrs.  L.  H.  Hall,  record- 
ing secretary.  A  report  of  the  last  field-day  in  Syca- 
more park  was  given  by  Mrs.  Z.  D.  Root  in  her  fluent, 
breezy  style.  Mrs.  G.  H.  Schneider  told  some  interest- 
ing stories  of  birds  seen  during  the  past  month.  The 
usual  announcements,  for  meetings  in  February,  were 
given  by  the  program  chairman,  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo, 
including  an  invitation  to  all  to  attend  any  and  all 
meetings  of  the  society.  Through  this  inclusive  sys- 
tem many  winter  tourists  became  interested,  and  in 
two  instances,  on  their  return  home,  have  organized 
auxiliary  Audubon  societies. 

In  a  most  gracious  and  friendly  manner,  Mrs.  Bick- 
nell spoke  some  words  of  welcome  and  of  gratifica- 
tion in  having  our  friends  with  us.  She  developed 
the  thought  that  all  of  the  departments  of  Federation 
work  may  be  interpreted  through  bird  study,  giving 
as  an  instance  the  California  ]2iy  as  press  reporter, 
ever  ready  with  announcements  to  all  birds  within 
the  sound  of  his  voice.  She  then  introduced  the  lec- 
turer of  the  afternoon,  Clinton  G.  Abbott,  director 
of  the  Natural  History  Museum,  Balboa  park,  San 
Diego.  Mr.  Abbott  expressed  himself  much  pleased 
to  come  before  such  an  audience;  that  he  was  greatly 
impressed  by  the  federation  idea  as  being  something 
new  among  Audubon  societies,  but  "without  federation 
there  could   be   no   reciprocity  days." 

The  field-day  report  appealed  to  him  as  something 
original  and  worth  while.  He  also  noticed  the  badges 
worn  by  the  officers,  rosettes  of  ribbons  combining  the 
colors  of  the  Western  Tanager,  the  society's  emblem. 
The  subject  of  Mr.  Abbott's  lecture  was  "How  Birds 
Show  Their  Feelings."  This  was  illustrated  by  beauti- 
ful slides  from  pictures  taken  by  the  lecturer,  of  the 
birds  in  their  natural  environment,  and  proved  beyond 
contention   that   birds   do   feci   and   that   a   careful   ob- 


server may  easily  interpret  their  manners  and  antics. 
Mr.  Abbott  is  a  delightful  speaker  and  pleased  all 
with    his    instructive   and    entertaining   talk.

The  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Los  Angeles  met 
at  the  home  of  Mrs.  M.  A.  Snyder  on  Tuesday, 
February  19.  There  was  a  good  attendance  and  a 
very  interesting  program.  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes  was 
the  speaker,  her  subject  being  "The  Missions  of  Cali- 
fornia and  Work  Being  Done  to  Restore  Historic 
Landmarks."  The  club  is  noted  for  its  social  and 
philanthropic  work. 


WOMAN'S  IMPROVEMENT 

CLUB,  HUNTINGTON 

PARK,  CALIF. 

By  Adelaide  P.  Day,  Press  Correspondent 
The  first  anniversary  of  the  opening  of  our  new 
clubhouse  has  recently  passed.  Our  work  for  the  year 
has  not  been  altogether  satisfactory,  owing  to  the 
continued  illness  of  our  most  prominent  officials.  We 
have  also  deeply  regretted  the  loss  by  death  of  one  of 
our  most  beloved  members.  Now  things  have  been 
reconstructed  and  we  are  looking  forward  to  a  more 
satisfactory  future,  with  much  better  results.  We 
employ  the  same  method  as  when  in  our  first 
clubhouse,  that  of  helping  those  who  are  unable  to 
help  themselves.  We  give  free  rental  to  the  Welfare 
Society,  also  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  of  the  American 
Legion. 

A  card  party  was  given  on  Thursday,  February  28, 
for  the  benefit  of  disabled  veterans. 
We  are  for  the  Federation.

NEWHALL   WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Nina  B.   IVright,  President 

While  the  Newhall  Woman's  Club  has  but  just  cele- 
brated its  second  birthday,  it  is  nowise  the  less  ac- 
tive. Its  membership  being  in  the  neighborhood  of 
fifty,  makes  its  members  doubly  active,  to  accomplish 
all  the  things  the  club  has  outlined  to  do.  Club  meets 
the  second  Wednesday  in  each  month,  and  various 
entertainments  are  given  to  raise  funds  with  which 
to  build  a  club  house.  It  has  just  received  its  certifi- 
cate of  membership  in  the  General  Federation  of 
Woman's  Clubs.  The  Study  Section,  under  the 
leadership  of  Mrs.  Walton  Young,  is  doing  interesting 
work.  Mrs.  Mabel  Swall,  chairman  of  Civics,  is 
working  in  conjunction  with  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. 


HIGHLAND   PARK  EBELL 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.   George  F.  Cook,  Press  Chairman 

As  a  bright  and  sparkling  prelude  to  the  dominant 
note  of  patriotism  in  February's  program  at  Highland 
Park  Ebeil  Club,  was  the  appearance  of  Miss  Frieda 
Pycke,  composer,   in   musically   interpreted    readings. 

On  Lincoln's  Birthday,  Mrs.  Edwin  Markham,  wife 
of  the  eminent  poet,  was  present  and  read  her  hus- 
band's prize  poem  which  had  been  submitted  with 
280  other  offerings  at  the  time  of  the  Lincoln  Mem- 
orial in  Washington,  D.  C.  Mrs.  Markham  is  also 
a  writer  and  was  on  her  way  to  a  convention  in  San 
Francisco. 

The  patriotic  spirit  was  further  expressed  in  the 
thoughtful  address  of  Capt.  Paul  Perigord  on  "Inter- 
nationalism   and    Civilization." 

"The  spirit  of  internationalism  is  dominant  today. 
The  League  of  Nations  is  a  success  and  the  World 
Court  is  a  step  in  advance.  There  will  not  be  a 
United  States  of  Europe,"  said  he,  "until  there  is  a 
united    state   of   heart  co-operation." 

Public  Affairs  Day  was  of  special  help  to  club 
women,  owing  to  the  enlightening  talk  of  State  Sena- 
tor A.  Burlingame  Johnson  on  "The  Legislative  De- 
partment of  Our  Government."  The  five  measures 
which  the  General  Federation  urges  club  women  to 
study  were  discussed,  (1)  The  Child  Labor  Amend- 
ment, (2)  The  Marriage  and  Divorce  Amendment, 
(3)  The  Education  Bill,  (4)  Restricted  Immigration, 
and    (5)    Federal   Prison   for  Women. 

Club  singing  is  always  heartily  enjoyed  on  Public 
Affairs  Day  when  led  by  Mr.  J.  A.  Lewis,  with  Mrs.

"Minor  Notes  and  Major"  was  the  subject  of  an 
address  by  Miss  M.  Winifred  Rouzee  on  Bible  Sec- 
tion Day. 

A  most  attractive  hour  was  spent  at  the  literature 
luncheon  when  Mrs.  John  Stearns  Thayer  reviewed 
"Life  and  Letters  of  Walter  Page"  by  Hendricks  and 
"Damaged   Souls"  by  Gamaliel  Bradford. 

The  Art  Section  has  approved  the  plan  of  the  dis- 
trict chairman,  Mrs.  E.  E.  Leighton,  that  the  clubs 
each  give  ten  dollars  as  an  apportionment  toward  buy- 
ing a  selected  picture  for  circulation  and  the  section 
voted  to  pay  the  amount. 

Historic  places  visited  in  the  Holy  Land  were  de- 
scribed by  Miss  Winifred  Rouzee  at  a  meeting  of  the 
Bible  Section. 

Mrs.  George  W.  Schneider  gave  a  charming  talk 
on  robins,  bluebirds,  and  thrushes  before  the  bird  and 
flower  section.  Her  talk  was  illustrated  with  skins 
of  the  birds. 

The  Drama  Section  was  favored  in  having  Mrs. 
Charles  A.  Christmas  read   Galsworthy's  "Windows." 

Shakespeare  Section  completed  the  reading  of 
Othello. 

Miss  Neeta  Marquis,  recognized  writer  of  beautiful 
poetry  and  author  of  a  new  book,  was  a  guest  ofi  the 
History  and  Landmarks  Section,  contributing  to  the 
program  by  reading  Mrs.  Laura  King's  paper, 
"Reminiscences  of  San  Gabriel."  Mrs.  King  was  also 
present. 

A  day  in  Eaton  Canyon  was  greatly  enjoyed  by  the 
Ramblers. 

The  social  feature  of  the  month  was  a  card  party 
on  Friday  afternoon,  February  15.  The  valentine 
motif  was  used  and  auction  bridge  and  "500"  were 
enjoyed.     Light   refreshments   were   served. 


GLEASON 


PARLIAMENTARY 
CLUB 


By  Mrs.  F.   T.  Bicknell,  Press  Chairman 

Rules  of  procedure  are  as  necessary  in  conducting 
meetings  as  rules  of  grammar  are  in  speaking  and 
writing. 

Those  familiar  with  parliamentary  law  possess  a 
gold  mine  of  inestimable  value.  They  are  million- 
aires of  law  and  order ;  wherever  responsibility  rests 
upon  them,  courtesy  and  justice  will  prevail. 

A  well  organized  body  of  individuals  versed  in 
parliamentary  usage,  is  a  controlling  unit.  The  Glea- 
son  Parliamentary  Club,  first  parliamentary  club  to 
be  federated  in  the  great  organization  of  women's 
clubs,  was  the  first  club  to  broadcast  its  study  of  law 
and  order  in  a  constructive  way;  the  first  in  the  fed- 
eration to  blaze  the  trail  to  the  gold  mine  of  parlia- 
mentary knowledge,  to  take  up  its  pick  and  shovel 
and  hew  out  the  gold  nuggets  and  distribute  their 
wealth  over  Clubland,  and  to  make  its  work  appeal- 
ing and  attractive  to  the  novice  and  essential  to 
progress. 

It  was  the  first  club  in  the  Los  Angeles  District  to 
send  in  its  endowment  quota  and  it  has  gone  "over 
the  top"  with  its  biennial  contribution.  Its  object  is 
efficiency  in  parliamentary  law  and  training  of  leaders. 
Its  programs  consist  of  parliamentary  practice,  cur- 
rent events,  studies  in  government  and  debates  of 
popular  issues. 

Its  meetings  are  held  on  the  last  Saturday  of  the 
month  at  941  South  Hoover  street  and  consist  of  an 
executive  board  meeting  at  eleven  o'clock,  a  parlia- 
mentary study  class  at  one  o'clock  and  the  regular 
session  at  two  o'clock.  On  the  Wednesdays  previous 
to    the    meetings,    an    examination    of    candidates   for 


SAFEGUARD  YOUR 
HEALTH 

The  kind  of  mattress  you  sleep  on  each  night 
is  an  all  important  factor  in  determining  the 
state  of  your  health.  In  order  to  secure  the 
kind  of  rest  essential  to  perfect  health,  your 
mattress  must  be  both  comfortable  and  sanitary. 
Sanctuf  mattresses  successfully  meet  both  of 
these  requirements.  The  sanitary  eyelets  of  the 
Sanotuf  furnish  a  self  ventilating  system  that 
keeps  the  mattress  always  sweet  and  clean.

membership  is  held  at  the  home  of  the  chairman,  Mrs. 
W.  W.  Kribbs,  1744  West  Twenty-third  street,  at 
two  o'clock.  The  Gleason  Parliamentary  Digest  is  in 
perfect  accord  with  Robert's  Revised  Rules  of  Order; 
but  is  easier  to  comprehend  and  may  be  used  as  a 
study  course  in  anj'  organization  even  where  their 
parliamentary    authority    is   Robert's   Rules    of    Order. 

The  club  belongs  to  the  State,  District  and  General 
Federation  and  is  in  fact  and  intention,  a  part  of  the 
great  whole   in  women's   work. 

It  elects  new  officers  annually  that  its  members  may 
put  into  practice  that  which  they  have  studied  dur- 
ing the  year.  Already  gentle  whisperin<Ts  are  flitting 
about  as  to   the  probable  candidates  next  year. 

At  its  January  meeting  the  chairman  of  Political 
Science,  Mrs.  Margaret  D.  Yale,  of  the  Los  Angeles 
District,  C.  F.  W.  C,  gave  such  an  interesting  talk 
that  the  club  decided  to  appoint  a  chairman  of  Politi- 
cal Science. 

The  February  meeting  was  a  "red  letter"  day  for 
the  club,  as  three  distinguished  and  well  beloved  club 
women  w^re  its  honor  guests,  Mrs.  J.  S.  Osgood,  first 
parliamentarian  of  the  Friday  Morning  Club;  Mrs.  D 
G.  Stephens,  president  emeritus  of  Santa  Monica  Bay 
Woman's  Club,  and  Mrs.  Charles  S.  McKelvey,  State 
and    Los    Angeles    District    parliamentarian. 

The  March  meeting  will  also  be  a  gala  day  as  the 
club  will  entertain  its  district  president,  Mrs.  Charles 
H.  Toll. 

Other  pleasing  events  were  the  luncheon  given  the 
president,  Mrs.  T.  G.  Lewis,  by  Mrs.  Mae  Armstrong, 
when  Mrs.  Lewis  gave  a  toast  to  the  club's  President 
Emeritus,  Mrs.  L  W.  Gleason,  founder  of  the  club, 
who  responded  with  a  "toasted  set'  of  beautiful  New 
Year  Resolutions  which  %vere  unanimously  adopted, 
each  declaring  the  "Mother  Lode"  had  surel}'  been 
discovered. 


WOiMAN'S  CLUB  OF  NEEDLES 

By  Madge  S.  Haynes,  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Needles  enjoyed  a  rare  treat 
on  January  29,  when  Mrs.  Henry  Goodcell,  State 
Chairman  of  Literature,  gave  an  inspiring  and  in- 
structive address  on,  "Books  and  Reading."  Over 
fifty  members  were  present  at  this  meeting,  which  was 
preceded  by  a  luncheon  at  the  El  Garces  Hotel,  given 
in  honor  of  Mrs.   Goodcell. 

The  regular  meeting  held  on  February  4  was  in 
charge  of  the  Civics  Department.  The  subject,  "Cali- 
fornia Laws  for  Women  and  Children,"  was  presented 
by  Mrs.  J.  B.  Claypool. 

The  Home  Economics  Department  of  the  club  gave 
a  luncheon   on   February  19. 

The  programs  at  the  regular  bi-monthly  meetings 
are   excellent   and    are   well    attended. 

At  the  close  of  each  regular  meeting  a  very  en- 
joyable social  hour  is  held,  refreshments  being  served 
by  the   hostesses   of  the   day. 

The    following   officers    are    active    workers: 

President,  Mrs.   C.  C.  Morse. 

Vice-President,   Mrs.   J.   M.   Foster. 

Secretary,   Mrs.   B.   M.   Sharp.

CALIFORNIA     HISTORY    AND 
LANDMARKS  CLUB 

At  a  business  meeting  of  the  California  History 
and  Landmarks  Club  it  was  unanimously  voted  to 
take  a  membership  in  Mr.  McGroarty's  Mission  Play 
Foundation.  The  price  is  $5.00,  but  that  looked  so 
small  that  those  sitting  about  the  table  one  and  all 
each  took  a  membership  and  thereby  sent  Mr.  Mc- 
Groarty  $50  toward  the  building  fund  of  his  grand 
new  Mission  playhouse.  By  this  time  we  all  know 
that  the  Foundation  Fund  is  to  complete  the  play- 
house that  will  in  due  time  furnish  the  revenue 
whereby  all  the  missions  and  landmarks  in  California 
shall    be    restored. 


ESCHSCHOLTZIA       CHAPTER 
DAUGHTERS  OF  THE  AMER- 
ICAN REVOLUTION 

Eschscholtzia  Chapter  is  not  a  club  member,  but  it 
is  a  very  strong  organization  for  patriotic  work.  At 
the  last  board  meeting  the  members  voted  unanimously 
to  recommend  the  chapter  (which  it  did  at  the  next 
meeting)  to  spend  $300  for  two  seals  and  two  tablets 
to  be  placed  over  the  entrance  arches  at  Brand  park. 
The  two  seals  are  to  be  made  of  terra  cotta,  colored 
to  represent  the  seals  of  the  United  States  and  of 
Spain.  Under  the  one  will  be  placed  a  bronze  tablet 
with  the  legend  "The  Great  Seal  of  the  United  States, 
presented  1924  by  Eschscholtzia  Chapter,  D.  A.  R., 
in  memory  of  Lieut.-Col.  John  C.  Fremont  and  his 
command,  who  camped  here  January  13,  1847."  The 
other  is  given  in  memory  of  General  Andres  Pico, 
whose  home  was  at  Mission   San  Fernando. 


ARBOR  DAY  AT  BRAND  PARK 

Arbor  Day  has  become  an  institution  in  our  land 
and  when  a  thing  becomes  an  institution  it  must  be 
attended  to.  On  Saturday,  March  8  (the  day  after 
Arbor  Day),  forty  olive  trees  will  be  planted  in 
Brand  park  in  memory  of  the  officers  of  the  Army 
and  Navy  who  took  part  in  the  American  occupation 
of  California.  Organizations  taking  part  in  this  cele-

THE   MARY  WILLIAMS   CLUB 
OF  AVALON 

By  Mrs.  S.  J.  Goulding,  Secretary 

Our  program  as  outlined  by  the  program  committee 
early  in  the  year  is  being  carried  out  almost  to  the 
letter.  Time  and  space  prevent  our  mentioning  each 
subject  as  presented  to  the  club,  but  Native  Daugh- 
ters' Day,  at  vphich  time  a  paper,  "Early  History  of 
California,"  was  presented,  and  "Alaska"  are  both 
worthy  of   special  mention. 

We  started  the  year  with  about  forty  active  mem- 
bers. Since  then  several  more  names  have  been  added 
to  the  membership  roll.  At  present  we  are  hoping  for 
a  visit  from  the  district  president,  Mrs.  Toll,  to 
which  event  we  are  looking  forward  with  great  en- 
thusiasm. 

We  are  also  hoping  the  coming  biennial  will  bring 
many  of  the  club  women  to  our  island,  when  we  may 
have  the  pleasure  of  meeting  and  becoming  acquainted 
with  them.  We  extend  a  cordial  invitation  to  any  of 
the  ladies  who  belong  to  the  various  clubs  in  our  dis- 
trict to  visit  us  at  any  time  they  may  come  to  the 
island.  Our  club  membership  is  much  less  than  100, 
so  our  efforts  must  be  measured  accordingly.

CHILD  LABOR  ON  THE  FARM 


Child  workers  on  Maryland  truck  farms  are  studied 
in  a  report  issued  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Labor 
through  the  Children's  Bureau. 

This  report  is  the  second  of  a  series  on  rural  child 
labor  being  carried  on  by  the  Bureau  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Ellen  Nathalie  Matthews,  director  of  its  indus- 
trial  division. 

Four  Marylapd  counties  are  included  in  the  study, 
Anne  Arundel  (near  Baltimore),  Wicomico,  Somerset, 
and  Worcester  on  the  Eastern  Shore.  Eight  hundred 
and  eight  white  and  negro  children  in  Anne  Arundel 
county  who  had  done  farm  work  during  the  year  pre- 
ceding the  study  and  838  children  on  the  Eastern  Shore 
were  interviewed. 

The  chief  findings  of  the  report  are: 

Over  90  per  cent  of  the  children  enrolled  in  the 
schools  in  the  truck  farming  areas  of  the  Eastern  Shore 
had  worked  on  the  truck  farms  within  the  year  pre- 
ceding the  inquiry.  A  large  proportion  of  these  chil- 
dren in  Anne  Arundel  county  work  on  the  farms.  In 
the  Eastern  Shore  localities  the  workers  are  chiefly 
farmers'  children,  some  of  them  white  children  who 
migrate  from  Baltimore  for  seasonal  farm  work. 

Most  children  under  10  years  of  age  work  a  short 
day  at  simple  kinds  of  work,  and  for  only  a  few  days 
or  weeks  during  the  year.  Most  white  girls  do  little 
more  work  than  the  young  children,  but  some  of  the 
older  negro  girls  and  a  large  proportion  of  white 
and  negro  boys  12  years  of  age  or  over  do  a  great 
variety  of  work  and  many  work  nine  or  ten  hours  a 
day.     A   working  day  of  nine   or  more   hours   on   the

last  day  worked  was  reported  by  one-half  the  boys 
studied   in  both   regions. 

The  work  of  these  children  included  not  only  pick- 
ing berries  and  hoeing  vegetables  but  also  plowing, 
harrowing,  machine  cultivating  and  some  kinds  of 
machine  transplanting.  Such  work  in  conjunction 
with  long  hours  was  reported  by  many  of  the  boys  12 
years  or  over. 

Loss  of  schooling  on  account  of  farm  work  was  suf- 
fered by  a  majority  of  the  children  in  both  areas 
according  to  reports  made  by  their  parents.  Nearly 
one-fifth  of  the  white  children  had  been  absent  for 
farm  work  six  or  more  school  weeks  during  the  pre- 
ceding school  year. 

Serious  problems  both  in  lack  of  schooling  and  in 
undesirable  living  conditions  were  presented  in  the 
cases  of  migratory  child  workers  in  Anne  Arundel 
county.  The  majority  of  these  children  lose  from  four 
to  six  weeks  at  the  end  of  the  school  term  in  order 
to  go  out  to  the  truck  farms.  Over  two-thirds  of  those 
included  in  the  study  were  retarded  in  school,  about 
twice  the  average  rate  for  city  children  of  their  ages. 

According  to  the  report, 

"The  housing  provided  for  migratory  truck-farm 
workers  in  these  localities  is  so  unsatisfactory  that  it 
appears  to  call  for  some  public  supervision." 

In  describing  these  housing  conditions,  the  report 
states: 

"Seasonal  workers  are  housed  by  the  farm  owners 
on  their  own  land   in  what  are   referred  to  locally  as

camps.     .     .  Most  of  the  camps  contained  but  one 

building,  known  as  a  'shanty,'  which  served  as  sleep- 
ing quarters  for  the  workers.  ...  In  most  camps 
it  was  weatherbeaten  or  unpainted  and  the  windows 
usually  lacked  either  glass  or  shutters  or  both.  As 
a  rule  there  was  but  one  room  on  each  floor,  with 
stairs  on  the  outside  leading  to  the  upper  room.  In 
some  a  partition  divided  the  lower  floor,  which  was 
about  25  by  30  feet,  into  two  rooms.  On  each  side 
of  a  narrow  aisle  down  the  center  of  the  room  the 
floor  was  divided  into  sections  or  pens  by  boards 
10  or  12  inches  in  height.  Each  pen  was  about  6 
feet  long  and  from  4  to  6  feet  wide  and  covered 
with  straw  for  a  mattress.  Each  f.^mily  was  allotted 
one  of  these  pens,  the  larger  families  sometimes  secur- 
ing those  6  feet  in  width.  .  .  .  Many  of  the 
shanties  containing  two  such  rooms  used  for  sleeping 
purposes  were  often  occupied  by  from  30  to  50  persons 
of  both  sexes  and  all  ages.  .  .  ."  Little  attention 
was  given  to  sanitation  and  in  a  number  of  cases  the 
danger    of    pollution    of   the    water   supply   was    great 


THE  FARMER'S  WIFE 

By  Mary  Ann  Gray 
Eeney,  meeney,  miney  mo 
Catch  a  thin  boy  by  the  toe ; 
Put  him  on  the  scales  to  see 
If  he's  healthy's  he  should  be. 
If  he's  not  what   he    should    weigh 
Give   him   a   quart  of  milk   a   day. 
Milk  a  Perfect  Food — Every  boy  and  girl  ought  to 
have   one   quart   of   milk   a   day,   because   this   food   is 
so   easily    built    up    into    body   tissues.      Every   boy   or 
girl  must  have  at  least  a  pint  of  milk  a  day  to  make 
sure  that   all   the   necessary   lime   is   being  supplied   to 
build  good  teeth  and  bones.     Children  should  not  drink 
coffee    or    tea,    for    they   take    away    the    appetite    for 
foods  which  make  for  growth  and  they  have  no  food 
value  at  all. 

For  adults,  milk  could  to  good  advantage  be  used 
much  more  extensively  in  the  diet.  At  least  a  cup  of 
milk  should  be  taken  by  the  grown  person  as  a  bever- 
age or  food. 

Most  housewives  have  soup  figuring  in  the  menu 
often  during  the  winter  months.  Cream  soups  are 
most  palatable  and  furnish  an  easy  way  of  working 
milk  into  the  menu  in  a  way  which  is  not  objection- 
able to  those  who  may  not  like  to  drink  milk. 


CONCERNING   A   NATIONAL  ART    GALLERY 

(Continued  From  Page  7) 
treasures.     Yet  this  is  the   position  in  which  the  gov- 
ernment at  this  time  finds  itself. 

Without  a  National  Gallery  of  Art,  Washington  is 
incomplete.  .A  gallery,  such  as  the  National  Gallery 
in  London,  the  Louvre  in  Paris,  is  the  demand,  and  a 


demand  that  Congress  will  accede  to  when  it  is  made 
to  understand  that  millions  of  Americans  are  inter- 
ested in  such  an  institution  for  their  National  Capital. 

At  the  last  convention  (1923)  of  the  American  Fed- 
eration of  Arts,  the  following  resolution  was  unani- 
mously passed: 

"Whereas,  the  United  States  is  the  only  civilized 
nation  which  has  no  National  Gallery  of  Art,  and 
whereas,  there  is  great  need  for  a  building  to  house 
our  national  art  collection  which  in  the  past  few- 
years  has  greatly  increased  in  size  and  value  through 
gifts  and  bequests  of  public-spirited  collectors  and 
individuals;  and  whereas,  on  account  of  the  lack  of 
space  in  which  to  exhibit  such  gifts,  this  channel  of 
beneficence  is  now  checked  ;  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  the  American  Federation  of  Arts 
undertake  a  campaign  of  education  and  promotion 
throughout  the  United  States,  in  order  to  acquaint  the 
people  of  existing  conditions,  in  the  hope  that  it  may 
be  their  will,  when  the  facts  are  known,  that  a  suffi- 
cient sum  be  appropriated  by  Congress  to  erect  a 
suitable  building  at  the  national  capital,  to  house  the 
national  collections  and  to  evidence  to  the  world  that 
we,  as  a  people,  recognize  art  to  be  a  factor  in  our 
national   life." 

Believing  that  this  long  neglected  side  of  national 
growth  should  be  given  some  attention,  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Friday  Morning  Club,  af  its  meeting 
of  February  the  20th,  passed  unanimously,  a  resolution 
endorsing  the  action  of  the  American  Federation  of 
Arts. 

It  is  urgently  requested  that  all  art  lovers,  all  club 
women  in  the  State  of  California  give  this  matter 
their  personal  attention  and  write  to  our  senators  and 
representatives  in  Congress  urging  upon  them  the  im- 
portance of   an   appropriation   for   this   purpose.

WHY  "A  QUART  OF  MILK  A  DAY" 


The  slogan  "A  quart  of  milk  a  day"  is  used  in  con- 
junction with  every  Dairy  Products  for  Health  Cam- 
paign in  America. 

The  slogan  is  not  merely  a  saying  to  boost  milk. 
Such  is  the  statement  made  by  authorities  of  Cali- 
fornia Dairy  Council,  who  are  vitally  interested  in 
seeing  that  the  local  campaign  is   a  big  success. 

The  basis  of  this  slogan  is  experimental  work  car- 
ried out  by  Dr.  Henry  C.  Sherman,  ;of  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, one  of  the  three  famous  American  scientists 
who  have  done  so  much  splendid  work  for  the  length- 
ening of  human  life,  and  incidentally  for  the  benefit 
of  the  dairy  industry. 

Dr.  Sherman  is  primarily  a  scientific  man  whose  de- 
sire is  to  better  the  condition  of  humanity.  His  sci- 
entific discoveries  have  proved  to  him  that  one  way 
to  better  the  condition  of  humanity  is  to  induce  people 
to  use  dairy  products  more  liberally  in  their  diet.  He 
is  professor  of  Food  Chemistry  at  Columbia  Univer- 
sity, was  a  member  of  the  Red  Cross  mission  to  Rus- 
sia in  1917,  and  is  prominently  connected  with  the 
National  Research  Council  and  American  Public 
Health   Association. 

Dr.  Sherman,  in  speaking  before  the  World's  Dairy 
Congress  recently,  explained  the  scientific  basis  of 
the  slogan,  "A  quart  of  milk  a  day."  The  following 
excerpt  from  his  speech  presents  the  subject  fully,  and 
indicates  very  clearly  that  "A  quart  of  milk  a  day" 
is  more  than  a  mere  slogan. 

"In  view  of  the  fact  that  some  advocate  a  quart 
of  milk  per  day  for  every  child  while  others  believe 
that  a  smaller  amount  may  do  as  well,  the  New  York 
Association  for  Improving  the  Condition  of  the  Poor, 
with  the  co-operation  of  the  Department  of  Chemistry 
of  Columbia  University,  undertook  an  extended  series 
of  experiments  upon  children  from  three  to  over  thir- 
teen years  of  age,  to  determine  what  quantity  of  milk 
per  day,  taken  as  a  part  of  a  normal  diet,  would  in- 
duce the  best  storage  of  calcium  and  phosphorous  in 
the  body  of  the  growing  child  and  hence,  presumably, 
the  best  development  of  bones  and  teeth.  The  in- 
vestigation was  made  possible  by  a  grant  from  the 
research  fund   established  by  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Milbank 


Anderson.  The  experiments  were  conducted  by  Miss 
Edith  Hawley  under  the  general  direction  of  the 
writer. 

"Groups  of  average  children  were  taken  from  city 
homes  to  the  suburban  house  maintained  by  the  As- 
sociation where  they  lived  normally  for  periods  of 
from  ten  to  fifty  days  under  the  constant  personal 
supervision  and  control  of  the  research  worker  (Miss 
Hawley)  who  slept  in  the  room  with  the  children,  pre- 
pared their  food,  and  recorded  and  analyzed  the  com- 
plete food  intake  and  excretory  output  of  each  child 
separately   throughout   its   experimental   period. 

"The  investigation  was  divided  into  four  progres- 
sive series  of  experiments,  including  in  all  21  children 
between  the  ages  of  3  and  14  years  and  covering  a 
total  of  417  experimental  days. 

"In  the  first  series  of  experiments  the  children  re- 
ceived an  ordinary  mixed  diet  containing  750  grams 
(about  three-fourths  of  a  quart)  of  milk  for  each 
child  daily,  this  being  about  the  amount  they  were 
supposed  to  have  had  at  home.  This  diet  resulted 
in  their  storing  calcium  in  small  quantities  approxi- 
mately proportioned  to  their  body  weights.  In  the 
second  series  when  the  amount  of  milk  was  increased 
to  1,000  grams  (one  quart)  of  milk  per  child  per 
day,  the  storage  of  colcium  was  materially  improved. 
Very  careful  studies  with  systematic  increases  and 
decreases  in  the  daily  allowance  of  milk  led  to  the 
conclusion  that  a  quart  of  milk  per  day  must  be  fed 
to  insure  the  optimum  storage  of  calcium  and  phos- 
phorous and  the  best  development  of  bones  and  teeth. 
The  third  and  fourth  series  of  experiments  showed 
the  superiority  of  milk  over  vegetables  as  a  source 
of  calcium  for  growing  children. 

"As  pointed  out  editorially  in  the  Journal  of  the 
American  Medical  Association  in  the  discussion  of 
these  results  :"The  dietary  rule  of  a  quart  of  milk 
each  day  for  every  child  is  much  more  than  a  precept 
based  on  individual  opinions  or  drawn  by  analogy 
from  the  results  of  feeding  experiments  with  lower 
animals;  it  now  rests  on  scientific  evidence  obtained 
by  extensive  and  intensive  experiments  directly  on 
the  children   themselves."

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB  OF  LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mrs.  Sarah  H.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


To  be  reminded  that  art  is  long, — in  this  time  of 
hurry  and  unrest  to  be  carried,  for  a  time,  quite 
away  from  insistent  thoughts  of  clubhouse,  biennial, 
nominating  petitions, — this  was  the  soul-refreshing 
experience  of  those  who  listened  recently  to  Miss 
Elizabeth  Drew's  illuminating  presentation  of  Jane 
Austen.  Doubtless,  interest  in  Jane  Austen  has  of 
late  been  quickened  by  the  fine  new  edition  of  her 
novels  published  by  the  Clarendon  Press  at  Oxford 
which  far  surpasses  all  previous  editions.  Her  readers, 
we  believe,  are  still  numerous  on  both  sides  of  the 
Atlantic;  and  that  America  continues  to  have  its  "fer- 
vent Austenites"  was  evidenced  by  the  enthusiasm  of 
Miss  Drew's  audience  at  this  time  when  leisure  to 
enjoy  an  English  classic  is  almost  a  thing  unknown. 
We  are  told  that  it  was  Chief  Justice  Marshall  and 
his  associate,  Mr.  Story,  who  introduced  the  novels  of 
Jane  Austen  to  American  readers.  In  a  letter  written 
by  Miss  Quincy  in  1852  she  says:  "The  influence  of 
her  genius  is  extensively  recognized  in  the  American 
Republic,  even  by  the  highest  authorities.  For  many 
years  her  talents  have  brightened  our  daily  path, 
and  her  name  and  those  of  her  characters  are  familiar 
to  us   as  household  words." 

Who  can  analyze  charm?  Like  personality  it  ever 
defies  analysis,  even  definition.  Charm  is  immediately 
perceived  by  us,  and  enjoyed  not  because  we  under- 
stand it,  but  possibly  the  more  because  we  do  not.  Only 
an  artist,  I  believe,  can  revive  for  us  the  charm  of 
another  literary  artist;  and  perhaps  only  a  sympa- 
thetic Englishwoman  as  well  as  artist  could  portray 
with  such  skill  and  so  vividly  that  environment  of 
English  country  life  in  which  Jane  Austen  lived  and 
moved,  and  which  is  so  faithfully  reproduced  in  her 
novels  in  all  its  narrowness,  its  pettiness,  and  withal, 
its  intriguing  human  interests. 

The  world  of  art  is  one;  ho%v  otherwise  can  we  ex- 
plain the  fact  that  this  most  insular  of  English  novel- 
ists should  have  found  and  kept  her  American  audi- 
ence? Art  is  one  and  timeless;  which  also  explains 
the  fact  that  Miss  Austen's  instinctive  naturalistic 
style  bears  a  surprising  resemblance  to  what  we  are 
pleased  to  call  modern  literary  form.  That  with  her 
it  was  quite  instinctive  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  it  was 
a  departure  from  the  prevalent  highly  romantic  style 
of  her  day;  and  because  she  had  made  no  study  of 
literary  forms,  disclaiming  the  possession  of  erudition 
of  any  sort.  Her  naturalness  seems  to  be  the.  pe- 
culiar quality  of  her  genius, — that  naturalness  which 
gives  us  a  heightened  sense  of  actuality,  like  the  stories 
of  Checkhov  and  Katherine  Mansfield.  In  these  mod- 
ern writers,  on  the  contrary,  we  are  led  to  believe  that 
far  from  being  illustrations  of  naturalness  in  fiction, 
their  style  furnishes  us  with  examples  of  minute,  pains- 
taking craftsmanship.  It  is  said  that  "the  convinced 
modern    demands    as    large    a    proportion    of    nature 


in  his  art  is  largely  a  new  conception  of  plot.  Plot 
with  them  is  indeterminate,  inconclusive,  and  this 
gives  the  reader  not  only  a  sense  of  life,  but  the  sense 
of  living,  of  being  immersed  in  the  flowing  stream  of 
experience.  Something  similar  to  this  conception  of 
plot  Jane  Austen  had  also.  She  writes  to  a  niece 
essaying  a  novel:  "Three  or  four  families  in  a  coun- 
try village  is  the  very  thing  to  work  on."  Re-reading 
Miss  Austen  with  a  comparison  between  her  and  our 
modern  realists  in  mind,  I  believe  we  cannot  fail  to 
class  her  with  the  best,  with  those  writers  who,  as 
Checkhov  has  said  "are  realistic  and  paint  life  as  it  is 
*****  but,  you  feel,  besides  life  as  it  is  life  as  it 
ought  to  be,  and  that  captivates  you."  Her  humor  and 
her  lively  ironic  spirit  makes  the  dull  stupidity  and 
futility  of  the  life  she  depicts  glaringly  evident,  but 
there  is  always  the  something  more  by  sheer  con- 
trast. One  cannot  but  feel  that  for  Miss  Austen  her- 
self the  gift  of  the  creative  artist  must  have  provided 
a  way  of  happy  escape  from  a  narrow  and  stifling 
world. 

And  our  own  world  with  its  wide  interests,  its  un- 
limited possibilities,  is  it  then  so  far  removed  that  the 
inanities  of  the  evening  parties  Miss  Austen  gives 
us  have  no  meaning  for  us?  Do  we  never  need  to 
find  a  way  of  escape?  Let  me  suggest  that  when  the 
walls  seem  to  be  closing  in  upon  us,  when  our  life  is 
threatened  with  narrow  bounds,  although  the  escape 
through  the  creative  gift  may  be  closed  to  us  there  is 
always  a  way  through  literature  and  its  appreciation, 
and  this  way  is  open  to  all.  From  the  experience  we 
know  we  may  through  literature  reach  out  to  the 
experience  we  aspire  to.

HOME  PRODUCTS  AND   INDUSTRY 


California,  and  particularly  Southern  California,  is 
at  present  engaged  in  a  campaign  to  bring  new  indus- 
tries here  as  a  means  to  provide  for  her  rapidly-grow- 
ing population. 

This  campaign  recognizes  the  principle  that  pro- 
ductive labor  is  the  backbone  of  stable  progress;  that 
the  members  of  a  community  cannot  support  them- 
selves solely  by  taking  in  each  other's  washing.  To 
a  considerable  extejit  the  employment  requirements  of 
a  large  part  of  the  present  artisan  population  have  so 
far  been  met  by  the  demands  of  the  later  comers  for 
housing  facilities.  At  best  this  can  be  no  more  than  a 
temporary  expedient,  for  the  population  is  already  far 
oustripping  the  need  for  skilled  and  unskilled  labor 
in  the  building  trades.  The  situation  calls  for  a  swift 
and  certain  means  for  restoring  a  balance  in  develop- 
ment by  bringing  manufacturing  industries  abreast 
with  the  population  needing  the  products  of  those 
industries. 

California  is  singularly  blessed  with  manufacturing 
facilities  in  the  raw,  so  to  speak.  The  Southwest  is 
the  home  of  five  principal  raw  materials  of  commerce 
— iron,  wool,  cotton,  copper  and  hides — and  the  chief 
importing  points  of  two  others — silk  and  lumber. 
Added  to  these  assets  are  abundant  and  cheap  hydro- 
electric power  and  water,  excellent  shipping  facilities 
by  rail  and  water,  low  building  costs  due  to  free  and 
efficient  labor,  a  year-around  open-air  climate  and 
cheap  factory  sites,  cheap  gas  and  fuel  oil  in  unlimited 
quantities   and   a  large  home  market. 

Factor  for  factor,  there  is  no  other  one  section  in  the 
world  so  well  qualified  by  nature  to  make  possible  the 
manufacture  of  nearly  every  article  of  commerce  at 
bed-rock  costs  as  is  California. 

Curiously  enough,  one  of  the  chief  things  that  is 
standing  in  the  way  of  the  logical  result — a  swift  and 
tremendous  industrial  growth — is  an  absolutely  illogi- 
cal one.  For  want  of  a  better  term,  it  may  be  ex- 
pressed as  the  "eastern  buying  habit" — a  sort  of-  in- 
herited tradition  to  the  effect  that  hats  have  to  come 
from  Danbury,  clothes  from  New  England,  agricul- 
tural implements  from  Illinois,  furniture  from  Michi- 
gan and  so  on.  No  one  can  explain  why,  for  example, 
one-half  of  all  the  gloves  used  in  the  United  States  are 
made  in  Fulton  County,  New  York,  notwithstanding 
that  they  can  obviously  be  made  more  cheaply  at  a 
point  nearer  the  source  of  the  raw  materials.  Cali- 
fornia is  daily  treated  to  the  edifying  spectacle  of  her- 
self in  the  act  of  shipping  her  vast  stores  of  raw  ma- 
terials three  thousand  miles  to  eastern  manufacturing 
centers  and  promptly  buying  them  back  in  the  form 
of  fabricated  goods  at  a  hundred  or  more  times  the 
value  of  the  raw  materials,  plus  freights  both  ways 
and  a  string  of  handlers'  profits  thrown  in  for  good 
measure. 

Consider  the  matter  of  leather,  for  example.  Cali- 
fornia is  the  fourth  cattle-producing  state  in  the  union. 
Her  cities  are  gathering  points  for  500,000  hides  a 
year.  She  has  every  facility  in  the  world  for  the 
cheap  manufacture  of  leather  and  leather  goods  of 
every  description.  Southern  California  alone  buys 
$50,000,000  worth  of  boots  and  shoes  a  year.  A  few 
scattering  California  tanneries  and  leather-fabricating 
plants  handle  a  pitiful  fragment  of  this  huge  business 
and  get  the  profits  from  it.  The  rest  goes  to  Pennsyl- 
vania  and   Massachusetts. 

Why? 

Nobody   knows    the    answer.     The    nearest   one    can 


come  to  it  is  that  Massachusetts  has  always  made  our 
boots  and  shoes  and,  unless  something  is  done  about  it, 
presumably  always  will  make  them,  in  defiance  of 
every  known  law  of  manufacturing  economy  and  com- 
mon sense. 

A  good  beef  hide,  properly  skinned  and  dressed  is 
now  worth  five  dollars  f.o.b.  Los  Angeles.  That  is 
what  the  grower  gets  for  it.  This  hide  travels,  along 
with  450,000  yearly  just  like  it,  clear  across  the  conti- 
nent. It  stops  over  in  Pennsylvania  long  enough  to  be 
tanned  into  shoe  leather  and  then  resumes  its  journey 
to  Massachusetts.  There  this  hide  becomes  twenty 
pairs  of  shoes,  sometimes  more,  worth  at  an  average 
$7.50  per  pair.  The  $5  hide  is  now  worth  $150.  Cali- 
fornia gets  the  $5  and  the  east  gets  the  $145,  a  good 
share  of  which  is  California  money — for  we  buy  the 
hide  back  in  shoes  and  pay  the  3000  per  cent  incre- 
ment without  a  murmur.  Not  only  that,  but  we  rob 
California  of  50,000  highly-paid  jobs  and  of  a  busi- 
ness worth  at  least  $100,000,000  a  year — -not  a  trifling 
contribution  to  the  prosperity  of  any  state. 

This  brilliant  economic  feat  is  by  no  means  con- 
fined to  the  leather  industry.  It  is  repeated,  with 
suitable  variations,  in  the  cotton  industry,  the  copper 
industry,  the  wool  industry,  the  silk  industry.  In  all 
of  these  we  behold  ourselves  developing  or  importing 
these  basic  raw  materials  in  vast  quantities,  shipping 
them  east  to  points  not  half  so  well  equipped  for 
fabricating  purposes  as  we  are  and  later  buying  them 
back  at  staggering  increases  with  money  which  forth- 
with leaves  California  and  never  comes  back. 

It  is  not  that  California  has  no  factories  but  rather 
that,  up  to  recently,  California  has  acted  as  though 
she  had  none.  It  is  one  of  our  crowning  pieces  of 
absurdity  that  towels  made  in  a  California  mill  are 
sold  to  a  big  eastern  wholesaler  and  are  bought  back 
from  him  by  big  California  hotels — as  eastern  towels, 
the  best  to  be  had. 

Thanks  to  the  earnest  and  energetic  campaign  of  the 
club  women  of  California  to  bring  about  the  patronage 
by  Californians  of  California  manufactures,  the  era 
of  this  economic  paranoia  is  drawing  to  a  close.  It 
has  begun  to  dawn  on  the  wholesale  and  retail  pur- 
veyors of  commercial  articles  that  California  makes 
all  the  things  they  want  and  makes  them  cheaper, 
quality  for  quality,  that  do  the  eastern  manufacturers 
because  of  this  state's  excellent  facilities.  It  has  been 
brought  home  to  the  realization  of  the  bankers  and 
business  men  of  the  state  that  the  millions  spent  in 
eastern  markets  are  a  direct  and  crushing  tax  on 
California  prosperity.  The  retail  buyer — in  most  cases 
the  clubwoman  and  the  housewife — knows  that  buying 
home  products  not  only  saves  her  money  but  makes 
her  money  and  makes  money  for  everybody  else  at  the 
same   time. 

It  is  an  excellent  and  praiseworthy  move  to  bring 
to  the  attention  of  potential  manufacturers  the  extra- 
ordinary facilities  California  has  to  offer.  But  at  the 
same  time  it  should  never  be  forgotten  that  the  first 
requiste  to  successful  manufacturing  is  a  good  market, 
close  by — the  kind  of  a  market  that  is  coming  into 
being  through  the  growing  patronage  by  Californians 
of  the  products  of  the  factories  California  already  has. 
When  that  demand  has  grown  to  where  it  should  be 
there  will  be  no  difficulty  about  getting  manufacturers 
to  establish  factories  in  California.  They  will  be 
standing  in  line  waiting  for  the  chance.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE   EBELL  OF  LOS  ANGELES 


THE  SCHOLARSHIP  FUND  OF  EBELL 


Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


I 


The  Ebell  Club,  whose  avowed  purpose  is  advance- 
ment in  all  lines  of  general  culture  and  the  pursuit 
of  educational  and  philanthropic  work,  established  four 
years  ago  a  scholarship  fund  which  has  been  used  to 
assist  girls  of  high  school  and  college  age  to  finish 
their  education.  These  girls  win  their  scholarship 
through  virtue  of  their  own  ability  for  the  by-laws 
state,  "Each  beneficiary  must  at  least  be  in  high  school 
and  must  be  vouched  for  by  her  class  teacher  and  the 
vice-principal  of  the  school  as  to  her  high  mentality, 
integrity,  energy  and  good  health." 

The  amount  of  each  scholarship  is  fifteen  dollars  a 
month  and,  of  course,  is  not  all  supporting,  for  it  is 
the  aim  of  Ebell  "to  help  those  who  help  themselves." 
Sometimes  the  money  is  paid  in  a  lump  sum  for  tui- 
tion; a  family  can  often  take  care  of  the  daily  needs 
but  have  no  way  to  meet  so  large  an  expenditure  as 
tuition  which  must  be  paid  in  advance.  Sometimes  the 
monthly  payments  are  sufficient  for  the  mother  to 
keep  her  daughter  in  school;  just  the  little  more  that 
makes   living  possible. 

These  scholarships  are  gifts,  not  loans.  However, 
one  of  the  girls  who  is  now  a  successful  teacher  is 
repaying  the  amount  she  received  from  Ebell  and  is 
happy  in  the  knowledge  that  she  too  is  doing  a  part 
in  this  educational  work.  Twelve  girls  are  receiving 
scholarships  this  year,  and  the  committee  in  charge  of 
this  branch  of  Ebell's  philanthropy  takes  a  keen  per- 
sonal interest  in  the  progress  being  made  by  each  one. 
Every  once  in  a  while,  the  chairman  of  scholarships, 
Mrs.  Samuel  Carey  Dunlap,  entertains  the  girls  and 
the  members  of  her  committee  when  a  cozy  time  over 
the  tea  cups  brings  two  groups  into  closCi  understand- 
ing and   fellowship. 

From  one  of  the  college  girls  come  these  words  of 
appreciation  of  this  personal  interest:  "I  doubt  if  a 
letter  of  the  nature  of  yours  ever  meant  more  to  the 
receiver,  not  only  because  of  the  help  offered,  but  the 
feeling  that  some  one  had  a  real  interest  in  me.  I 
have  never  had,  and  always  wanted,  an  older  sister, 
and  the  picture  of  Ebell  playing  the  part  of  an  older 
sister  to  me  sent  a  thrill  of  pleasure  all  through  me. 
It  is  another  incentive  to  make  the  most  of  myself  and 
I  count  it  an  honor  to  be  considered  worthy  of  such 
regard." 

The  money  to  carry  on  this  work  has  been  sup- 
plied from  the  Ebell  treasury,  averaging  five  hundred 
dollars  per  year,  from  donations  from  individual  mem- 
bers and  from  the  successful  efforts  of  the  benefits 
and  entertainments  committee,  of  which  Mrs.  Will- 
iam Warmington  has  been  chairman  for  the  past  two 
years.  The  French  and  Spanish  departments  have 
each  given  a  benefit  for  this  work  each  year.  Just 
before  Christmas,  the  Spanish  department  under  the 
leadership  of  the  curator,  Mrs.  A.  B.  Griffith,  gave  a 
beautiful  Spanish  dance  which  resulted  in  three  schol- 
arships. The  French  department,  under  Mrs.  Charles 
D.  Burt,  will  have  a  luncheon  later  in  the  year. 

Early  in  May,  Mrs.  Dunlap  is  planning  for  a  "ten 
dollar  a  plate"   luncheon  at  the  Biltmore,  which  is  to 


be  the  crowning  event  of  the  year  for  it  will  mark  the 
completion  of  the  $30,000  endowment  fund.  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Charles  N.  Flint  have  supported  a  yearly  schol- 
arship since  the  fund  was  first  started,  and  in  1923 
it  was  their  pleasure  to  start  the  endowment  fund  of 
$30,000  of  which  Ebell  was  to  raise  ten  thousand. 
This  sum  is  now  pledged,  which  puts  the  fund  on  a 
solid  financial  basis  and  insures  the  education  of  twelve 
girls  a  year. 

The  success  of  this  endowment  plan  in  so  short  a 
time  is  due  to  untiring  efforts  of  the  committee  which 
includes: 

Mrs.  Samuel  Cary  Dunlap, 
Mrs.   A.   L.   Bagnall, 
Mrs.  Illot  Johnson, 
Mrs.    Charles    N.    Flint, 
Mrs.   Sumner  P.   Hunt, 
Mrs.   Sidney  L.   Parsons, 
Mrs.  Ralph  Hardacre, 
Mrs.    John    L.   Knorpp, 
Mrs.  J.  E.  MacMorries, 
Mrs.  Lewis  C.  Carlisle, 
Mrs.  John  B.  Long.

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 

PUBLIC  AFFAIRS  DEPARTMENT 
By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  Chairman 


Mrs.  George  L.  Eastman  is  the  chairman  of  the  Pub- 
lic Affairs  Department  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Holly- 
wood. The  department  is  subdivided  into  six  sections, 
namely:  International  Relations  and  Legislation,  Edu- 
cation, Philanthropy,  Child  Welfare,  Films,  and  Home 
Economies.  "Better  Citizenship"  is  the  slogan  of  the 
department  and  after  a  brief  review  of  the  activities 
of  the  various  sections,  it  will  be  seen  how  much  has 
been  accomplished  in  furthering  this  ideal.  Each  sec- 
tion has  its  own  chairman  and  operates  independently, 
working  out  its  own  plans  and  programs  for  the  year. 

On  the  second  Wednesday  of  each  month  the  depart- 
ment luncheon  is  held.  There  are  always  representa- 
tive speakers  present  at  this  time  to  discuss  questions 
of  the  day  to  to  present  social  or  civic  matters.  Some 
of  the  prominent  speakers  who  have  appeared  this 
year  are:  August  Vollmer,  Chief  of  Police;  Rex  B. 
Goodcell,  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue;  Miss  Ethel 
Richardson,  Secretary  of  Adult  Education  of  the  State 
of  California ;  Mrs.  Katherine  Van  Wyck,  Secretary 
of  the  Coramunit}'  Chest  Committee  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Chamber  of  Commerce;  Judge  James  H.  Pope,  of  the 
Court  of  Domestic  Relations;  and  Will  C.  Wood, 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction.  Section 
chairmen  are  always  at  liberty  to  report  at  these  lun- 
cheons and  on  this  occasion,  Mrs.  H.  G.  Redwine, 
chairman  of  International  Affairs,  always  reports. 

Mrs.  Redwine  has  been  chairman  of  her  section  for 
the  past  two  years.  She  has  that  rare  gift  of  being 
able  to  condense  her  reading  into  a  report  that  is 
short  and  yet  an  intelligible  array  of  solid  facts  on 
current  events.  Her  reports  always  contain  some  pa- 
triotic message,  some  emphasis  on  the  duties  and  privi- 
leges of  citizenship.  Recently  she  has  been  stressing 
the  importance  of  registering  and  voting,  the  advan- 
tages of  party  affiliation;  and,  through  her  efforts, 
deputies  have  been  present  at  the  club  house  to  facili- 
tate registration. 

Miss  Bertha  Green,  vice-principal  of  Hollywood 
High  School,  is  chairman  of  the  Education  Section. 
The  club  is  particularly  fortunate  in  having  Miss 
Green,  as  most  of  its  educational  work  has  been  done 
in  cooperation  with  the  high  school.  The  club  has 
been  an  active  worker  in  every  school  bond  issue  that 
the  city  has  called  for;  it  has  worked  with  the  high 
school  in  establishing  an  artists'  course,  whereby  the 
community  is  enabled  to  hear  the  finest  artists  at 
nominal  prices;  it  has  loaned  its  auditorium  for  the 
school  dances;  and  it  has  given  scholarships  to  help 
high  school  students  to  go  to  college.  This  year  the 
club  has  offered  a  prize  to  the  Pen  Pointers  for  the 
best   literary   product  of   the  season. 

The  Philanthropy  Section  is  under  the  very  capable 
management  of  Mrs.  Frank  Barrow.  Last  year  over 
one  thousand  dollars  was  distributed  to  various  char- 
ities and  this  season  over  fifteen  hundred  dollars 
will  be  given.  Individual  appeals  are  met  as  thev 
arise.  The  use  of  the  club  dining  room  and  audi- 
torium is  given  for  such  organizations  as  the  Post 
War  Service  League,  U.  S.  C.  Woman's  Dormitory, 
Western  Rangers,  Pilgrimage  Play  luncheon,  etc.  This 
section  is  in  charge  of  the  annual  drives  of  the  Red 
Cross,  Salvation  Army,  Needle  Work  Guild,  or  any 
emergency  drives  that  may  arise,  as  the  Japanese  Re- 
lief Fund  for  the  earthquake  sufferers.  Recently  an- 
other club  appealed  to  the  Hollywood  Club  to  aid  in 
securing  a  home  and  medical  treatment  for  a  four- 
teen-year  old    crippled    boy.      Through    the    efforts    of 


Mrs.  Borrow,  a  fund  was  secured  for  this  purpose  and 
the  little  fellow  is  to  have  the  attention  he  needs. 

Mrs.  Arthur  E.  Huntington  is  in  charge  of  the  Film 
Section.  This  is  a  comparatively  new  section  and  the 
thing  they  have  undertaken  to  do  is  a  thing  of  vast 
importance.  They  do  not  censor  improper  films  but 
they  recommend  only  the  best  ones.  Out  of  the  ninety 
pictures  previewed  this  season,  all  but  twenty  were 
recommended.  The  one  big  thing  they  are  striving 
to  accomplish  is  the  securing  of  wholesome  films  for 
the  Saturday  matinees  that  are  so  well  attended  by 
children.  This  section  works  in  conjunction  with  the 
picture   producers   and    exhibitors. 

The  Child  Welfare  Section,  with  Mrs.  Charles  Won- 
dries  as  chairman,  works  with  the  Mothers'  Educa- 
tional Center  of  Los  Angeles.  Dr.  Maud  Wlide  is 
in  charge.  The  section  is  in  session  at  the  club  house 
every  Thursday  morning  from  10  to  12.  All  children 
from  birth  to  six  years  of  age  are  eligible  and  it  is  not 
necessary  for  the  mothers  to  be  club  members.  The 
child  is  given  a  complete  physical  examination  by  a 
child  specialist — feeding  schedules  are  given,  and  er- 
rors in  diet  and  posture  corrected.  The  fourth  Thurs- 
day of  each  month  is  set  aside  for  mental  and  psycho- 
logical problems.  Dr.  Wilde  gives  the  mental  tests  and 
advises  the  parents  as  to  discipline  and  mental  train- 
ing. On  this  day,  also,  a  speech  class  is  in  session. 
It  is  conducted  by  Mrs.  Stanley  Carnahan,  a  former 
teacher  who  has  no  special  training  in  the  curing 
of  speech  defects.  All  of  this  scientific  aid  is  given 
without  charge,  but  as  some  of  the  centers  in  the  poorer 
districts  are  in  sad  need  of  funds,  yearly  memberships 
of  $1  to  $5  are  gratefully  accepted. 

The  last  of  the  Public  Affairs  Sections  is  the  new- 
est club  department — Home  Economics.  It  is  an  inno- 
vation in  club  life,  and  judging  from  the  attendance, 
a  very  succcessful  one.  It  was  organized  at  Mrs 
Mead's  suggestion  last  fall.  By  Mrs.  Lowell  C.  Frost, 
but  she  has  since  resigned  and  Mrs.  Paul  Neal  is 
chairman.  This  section  conducts  a  course  of  lectures 
in  business  and  banking.  Such  subjects  as  invest- 
ments for  women,  taxes,  community  property,  wills, 
escrow,  and  insurance  are  considered  with  experts 
to  talk  about  them.  Among  the  speakers  so  far  have 
been  G.  G.  Greenwood  and  Cvril  Sanders,  Attorney 
H.  G.  Redwine,  M.  F.  Palmer,'  and  W.  H.  Garland. 
Every  Thursday  at  3  p.  m.  a  class  in  child  training  is 
conducted  by  Miss  Barbara  Greenwood,  Kindergarten 
Teacher  Training  Supervisor  at  the  Southern  Branch 
of  the  U.  of  C.  Mrs.  Henrietta  Horton  Kapp  of  Barker 
Brothers  has  completed  a  course  in  interior  decorating 
and  house  furnishing;  and  James  Maxwell,  of  Par- 
melee-Dohrman's,  has  completed  a  course  in  china  and 
pottery.  A  class  in  home  gardening  is  in  session 
now  and  also  a  cooking  class.  The  latter  is  being  con- 
ducted by  Mrs.  W.  D.  Hunt  on  the  second  and  fourth 
Tuesdays  of  each  month.  A  charge  of  twenty-five 
cents  is  made.  This  buys  supplies  which  the  members 
cook  themselves  and,  after  eating  their  home  cooked 
luncheon,  they  discuss  the  recipes  and  take  notes. 
On  alternate  Tuesdays  Kate  Brew  Vaughn  gives  cook- 
ing demonstrations. 

This  concludes  the  activities  of  the  Public  Affairs 
Department  and  justifies  their  slogan  of  "Better  Citi- 
zenship." For  surely  better  voters,  better  schools,  bet- 
ter films,  better  homes,  better  cooks,  and  better  babies, 
are  bound  to  result  in  the  ideal  that  the  Public  Affairs 
Department  has  set  forth.

The  CLUBPFOMJN 


THE    CALIFORNIA    MISSIONS   AND   THEIR    PRESENT 

CONDITION 

By  Mrs.  A.  S.C.Forbes,  L.  A.  District  Chairman,  California  Federation  of  W  omens  Clubs 


Mission  San  Carlos  Borromeo  de  Monterey  was 
founded  June  3,  1770  by  Fr.  Junipero  Serra.  It  was 
first  located  on  the  hill  near  the  shore  in  the  present 
town  of  Monterey  but  was  soon  removed  five  miles 
distant  to  the  present  location  near  the  Ca'rmel  river, 
from  which  it  derives  its  familiar  name  of  "Carmel 
Mission." 

It  became  the  official  residence  of  Fr.  Serra.  The 
present  stone  edifice  was  not  begun  until  1793,  nine 
years  after  the  death  of  Fr.  Serra,  but  it  became  his 
sepulcher,  as  it  was  built  over  his  grave  as  well  as 
the  grave  of  Fr.  Juan  Crespi,  the  founder  of  El  Camino 
Real,   the   road   that   joined   the   Franciscan   Missions. 

For  many  long  years  this  most  sacred  of  all  the 
California  Missions  was  left  to  hooting  owls  and  van- 
dals. No  guarding  care  was  taken  of  this  precious 
heirloom  of  the  Catholic  Church  until  1868  when  Fr. 
Casanova  was  appointed  to  the  parish  of  Monterey. 
He  took  immediate  steps  to  have  the  debris  cleared 
out  of  the  chapel  and  to  locate  the  graves  of  Frs.  Serra, 
Crespi  and  Lasuen.  He  succeeded  in  bringing  the 
delapidated  church  into  a  dignified  condition,  albeit 
not  along  the  original  lines.  During  the  past  five  years 
great  restorative  work  has  been  accomplished  with 
plans   for  future  continuation.     All   of  the   old    adobe 


stolen  long  ago  as  were  six  of  the  original  nine  bells 
that  belonged  to  San  Juan.  The  collection  of  church 
relics  are  the  most  interesting  at  this  Mission  of  any 
in  the  state. 

San    Francisco    de    Asis,    Mission    de    los    Dolores, 
founded   1776  by  Frs.  Palou,  Cambon,   and  Pena,  has 


buildings  have  been  tilz^A  and  new  ones  arranged  to 
suit  the  needs  of  the  present  occupants.  The  church 
as  it  now  stands  is  a  credit  to  the  Catholic  Church, 
and   a  great  pleasure  to  visit. 

San  Juan  Bautista,  founded  June  2+  ,1797  by  Fr. 
Fermin  Francisco  Lasuen,  is  a  most  attractive  and 
beautiful  Mission.  San  Juan  is  the  only  one  of  the 
Missions  that  was  built  with  three  naves  such  as  is 
customary  in  the  construction  of  cathedrals  in  the  old 
country.  Unfortunately  the  two  outer  ones,  separated 
by  arches  from  the  main  nave,  fell  during  the  earth- 
quake of  1906  when  San  Francisco  was  so  nearly  de- 
stroyed. The  archways  have  been  filled  in,  forming 
solid  walls  and  thereby  leaving  but  the  one  main 
church  excepting  near  the  altar  where  two  arches  on 
either  side  have  been  restored,  leaving  the  church  in 
the  form  of  a  cross. 

The  bell  tower  fell  at  the  same  time  and  has  been 
replaced  with  an  attractive  and  appropriate  square 
tower  made  of  cement.  Three  of  the  original  bells 
are    hung   in    the    new    tower.      The    silver    bell    was 


all  disappeared  save  the  little  chapel  which  is  now 
in  attractive  condition.  The  old  painted  altar  piece 
that  was  used  in  the  early  days  in  Holy  Week  now 
hangs  on  the  wall.  The  walls  are  adorned  with 
paintings,  many  original  adornments  have  been  re- 
turned and  the  chape!  is  in  a  condition  beyond  re- 
proach. Thus  are  the  Missions,  one  by  one,  being 
taken  care  of  and  returning  to  the  care  of  the  first 
owners,   the   Catholic  Church. 

Mission  San  Jose  presents  a  charming  bit  of  scen- 
ery nestled  as  it  does  amid  trees  and  hedges  along 
the  Kings  Highwa)',  marked  only  by  a  Camino  Real 
Bell  that  seems  so  well  placed  just  at  its  door.  The 
Sisters  of  Charity  assisted  by  church  and  the  Native 
Sons  and  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  have  taken 
infinite  care  of  the  little  church  and  have  made  it  a 
place  of  beauty,  especially  externally,  for  they  have 
left  it  as  it  was  originally  only  cleaning  it  up  and 
making  necessary  repairs  for  safety's  sake.

All  that  is  left  of  Santa  Clara  is  enclosed  within 
the  confines  of  the  Santa  Clara  College  and  has  be- 
come the  chapel  of  the  College.  Naturally,  it  is  well 
kept  up   and  the  collections  are  of  great  interest. 

One  more  Mission  and  we  are  through.  It  is  San 
Francisco  Solano  in  the  town  of  Sonoma  and  generally 
called  "Mission  Sonoma,"  a  name  it  never  possessed 
in  the  mission  days.  Some  years  ago,  to  be  exact, 
in  1910  the  Sonoma  Valley  Woman's  Club  became  in- 
terested in  the  dilapidated  and  pathetic  condition  of 
this  church,  for  it  was  used  as  a  hay  barn  and  the 
cloisters  were  cluttered  with  wine  barrels.  The  club 
secured  a  lease  on  the  property  and  then  raised  $800 
with  which  they  made  necessary  repairs.  They  aroused 
sufficient  public  interest  to  make  purchase  of  the  prop- 
erty through  subscriptions  and  entertainments.  It  was 
then  donated  to  the  state  with  the  understanding  that 
it  be  used  as  public  property.  The  State  Federation 
of  Woman's  Club  placed  a  Camino  Real  Bell  guide- 
post  at  the  corner  of  the  lost  Mission.

MOTION  PICTURES 


The  Motion  Picture  Division  of  the  General  Fed- 
eration recommends  the  "Committee  of  Ten"  plan  by 
Mr.  Arthur  S.  Kane  in  response  of  inquiries  of  club 
members  from  all  over  the  country  for  a  definite 
method  to  secure  better  films.  The  Division  be- 
lieves that  the  plan's  simplicity  and  the  mechanical 
aids  accompanying  it  make  it  possible  for  the  most 
inexperienced  woman  to  organize  a  working  com- 
mittee in  her  town  which  will  gradually  become  the 
voice  of  the  community  influencing  the  exhibitor  in 
his  selection  of  films. 

Material  contributed  by  the  members  of  the  Di- 
vision's Executive  Committee  will  be  published 
monthly  in  "Encores,"  a  paper  issued  by  Mr.  Kane 
for  the  use  of  the  Committees  of  Ten.  Mrs.  Dudley 
Van  Holland,  37  Lorabardy  Place,  Newark,  N.  J.,  will 
welcome  inquiries  and  respond  to  them  promptly. 

The  Division  is  anxious  to  have  not  only  State  and 
District  Chairmen  of  Motion  Pictures  but  Club  Chair- 
men as  well,  an  arm}'  of  informed  women  to  pro- 
mote the  production  of  clean,  wholesome,  entertain- 
ing pictures.  Will  you  send  me  the  name  of  your 
Chairman   of   Motion   Pictures?

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  THRESHOLD  OF  A  NEW  DEPARTMENT 

By  Mrs.  F.  T.  Blcknell,  State  Chairman,  Birds  and  Natural  Life 


Standing  on  the  threshold  of  a  new  department  and 
looking  into  the  future  with  its  disillusioned  hopes, 
is  always  a  beatific  period,  yet  including  the  sharp 
stings  of  disappointment,  a  few  plans  matured,  a  few 
hopes  realized,  bring  the  real  heart  throbs  of  joy. 

With  a  department  of  Birds  and  Natural  Life  for 
the  first  time  fully  organized  in  California  under  a 
State  Chairman,  several  long  strides  in  the  conserva- 
tion of  our  wild  life  have  been  accomplished.  New 
interest  in  our  birds  and  native  flora  has  -been 
aroused.  Over  3000  Educational  Leaflets  on  six  of  our 
resident  birds,  have  been  distributed  by  the  California 
Audubon  Society  to  the  schools  for  Junior  Audubon 
work. 

More  than  a  thousand  leaflets  on  the  economic  value 
of  the  birds  and  the  state  laws  protecting  them,  have 
been  broadcast  and  Mrs.  Harriet  William  Myers, 
chairman  of  Birds  and  Flowers,  G.  F.  W.  C,  and 
also  the  Los  Angeles  District  of  the  C.  F.  W.  C.  is 
now  preparing  a  much  needed  leaflet  on  California 
Wild  Flowers.  A  California  Spring  Blossom  and 
Wild  Flower  Association  with  Mrs.  Elmer  M.  Wood- 
bury, president,  organized  in  San  Francisco  to  beau- 
tify the  highways  with  trees  and  wild  flowers,  has 
a  membership  throughout  the  state  of  over  1000.  It 
has  been  met  with  enthusiastic  support  and  will  be 
a  great  factor  in  conserving  California's  wild  flowers. 


School  children  are  specially  interested  in  some- 
thing that  is  alive,  and  are  easily  trained  into  bird 
protectors.  Mrs.  Jessie  Hatch,  chairman  of  Birds 
and  Natural  Life  of  the  Southern  District,  Mrs.  W.  R. 
Fenn,  chairman  of  the  San  Joaquin  District,  Mrs.  J.  B. 
DeGolyer,  chairman  of  the  Northern  District,  Mrs. 
Harriet  W.  Myers  of  the  Los  Angeles  District  and 
Mrs.  W.  L.  B.  Hill,  chairman  of  Conservation  of 
Lake  County  are  more  than  fulfilling  the  eixpecta- 
tions  of  their  state  chairman,  by  organizing  Junior 
Audubon  clubs,  lecturing  before  conservation  confer- 
ences and  federated  women's  clubs — several  of  which 
have  established  nature  sections.  A  few  have  chosen 
a  bird,  flower  or  tree  for  thei  club  emblem.  An  Audu- 
bon exhibit  of  discarded  nests,  photographs  and  charts 
and  a  variety  of  wild  flowers  will  be  on  display 
at  the  Los  Angeles  District  Convention  at  Glendale, 
April  8-10  and  at  the  State  and  Biennial  Conventions 
with  the  competent  nature  students  to  explain  their 
histories  and  to  interest  the  public  in  the  books  and 
literature   on   these   subjects. 

Children  are  our  future  citizens  and  through  a 
system  of  nature  education,  we  hope  to  instill  into 
them  the  love  for  our  wild  life  and  the  necessity  of 
preserving  it.  In  the  meantime  we  propose  to  arouse 
public  interest  and  the  adult  conscience  to  the  re- 
sponsibility of  preserving  it  for  them. 


THE   HOLLYWOOD  WOMAN'S   CLUB    CHORUS 


By  Eglayitine  Roberts  Baier,  Cliorus  Chairman 


October  22,  1919,  there  met  at  the  Woman's  Club 
of  Hollywood,  a  group  of  women  eager  and  enthusi- 
astic over  the  possibility  of  forming  a  chorus  of 
women's  voices,  to  study  and  present  the  very  best  in 
music,    under    a   competent   director. 

Their  hopes  were  more  than  realized,  for  the  very 
first  and  most  important  requirement,  that  of  director, 
especially  with  a  fine  knowledge  of  the  very  best  in 
music,  directing,  pep,  enthusiasm,  and  the  ability  to 
impart  that  enthusiasm  to  his  people  and  obtain  per- 
fect ensemble  singing  was  met.  All  of  these  attri- 
butes were  obtained  when  Hugo  Kirchhofer  consented 
to  become  the  director  of  the  body  of  women  who 
organized  that  morning  the  new  Choral  Section  of  the 
club,  and  named  it  the  Hollywood  Woman's  Club 
Chorus.  After  four  years  of  splendid  work,  Mr. 
Kirchhofer  is  still  with  them  as  is  also  his  very  ef- 
ficient and  faithful  co-worker  and  fine  accompanist, 
Inez   Jacobson. 

Mrs.  Martha  B.  Richardson  was  elected  chairman, 
and  under  her  two  years'  leadership,  the  chorus  pro- 
gressed splendidly.  Eglantine  R.  Baier  filled  the  post 
of  secretary  and  treasurer. 

Non-members  of  the  club  were  also  welcomed,  so 
there  was  no  dearth  of  good  voices.  Before  the  end 
of  the  first  year,  the  membership  was  eighty,  and  the 
success  of  the  chorus  was  assured. 

Throughout  the  first  winter  they  appeared  at  the 
club  meetings  several  times,  being  heard  with  much 
pleasure.  In  May  of  the  next  year,  the  chorus  ap- 
peared in  concert  for  the  first  time,  presenting  a  very 
pleasing  program,  with  a  fine  baritone,  Mr.  A.  J. 
Kisselburgh,  and  Alberta  Zens,  violinist,  as  assisting 
artists. 

Each    year   they   have   given    two   concerts    and    the 


last  two  years  three  concerts;  one  being  a  program  of 
old-time  songs,  given  in  the  period  1863-4,  with  cos- 
tumes of  hoops,  pantalettes,  and  curls;  the  gentlemen 
wearing  long-tailed  coats,  fancy  waistcoats,  and  tall 
beaver  hats.  These  costume  concerts  have  been  the 
most  popular  and  best  attended  of  all,  for,  beautifully 
given  as  they  were,  the  costumes  making  such  a  lovely 
stage  picture,  and  the  songs  so  well  sung,  the  audi- 
ence is  taken  back  to  their  childhood  days,  when 
mothers  and  fathers,  as  well  as  grandparents  sang 
the  dear  old  never-to-be-forgotten  songs  of  yore; 
classics,  because  they  cannot  be  forgotten,  but  will 
live  on  and  on,  each  generation  handing  them  down, 
keeping  them  fresh  in  memory. 

At  the  regular  concerts  each  year,  they  present  very 
fine  works,  all  of  the  very  best  composers  featuring 
the  program.  The  concert  of  last  May  was  excep- 
tionally beautiful.  "The  Last  Tea  of  Tsuki"  a  lovely 
short  choral  of  solos  and  choruses,  by  Elias  Blum, 
being  given  in  the  west  for  the  first  time.  Frederick 
Stevenson's  Serenade,  for  chorus,  string  trio  and 
baritone  solo  was  given. 

The  third  year  progressed  under  the  chairmanship 
of  Maud  D.  Lee  Skeen,  and  at  the  concert  presented 
Carl  Gantvoort,  as  soloist. 

This  fourth  season  opened  with  Eglantine  Roberts 
Baier  as  chairman,  Mrs.  T.  L.  Nottage,  Jr.,  secretary 
Mrs.  Edna  McGrew  Hewitt,  treasurer,  Mrs.  Edith 
Clark,  librarian.  Many  fine  new  voices  have  been 
added,  and  the  quality  improved  greatly. 

The  first  concert  given  in  December  was  a  cos- 
tume one,  and  met  with  an  enthusiastic  reception 
and  the  expressed  hope  from  many  that  these  be 
made  a  yearly  affair.  The  second  concert  came  in 
January,   with   the  Orpheus   Four   of  Los  Angeles,    as

soloists,  and  very  popular  they  proved.  The  pro- 
gram contained  many  splendid  chorals,  such  as: 
My  Heart  as  Thy  Sweet  Voice,  from  Samson  and 
Delilah,  by  Saint  Saens;  Invocation  to  Life,  by 
Charles  Gilbert  Spross ;  Group  of  Negro  Spirituals, 
harmonized  by  Henry  T.  Burleigh;  The  Fairy  Hills 
of  Dreams,  by  Elinor  Remick  Warren,  and  The 
Willows,   by   Fourdrain,    arranged    by   Victor    Harris. 

These  are  just  a  sample  of  the  quality  of  work  done 
by  this  splendid  group  of  singing  women,  under  the 
able  leadership  of  Mr.  Kirchhofer,  who  as  a  direc- 
tor getting  results,  has  no  equal.  All  music  is  memor- 
ized for  presentation  in  concert,  so  that  the  undivided 
attention  of  each  member  is  given  him.  On  May  23, 
the  last  concert  of  a  most  successful  season,  will  be 
given  in  the  new  auditorium  of  the  Woman's  Club  of 
Hollywood,  at  8:15  p.  m.,  and  it  will  be  both  a 
surprise  and  pleasure  to  any  one  interested,  to  dis- 
cover what  really  line  and  artistic  singing  is  done. 
The  program  to  be  given   is  especially  beautiful. 

The  corps  d'esprit  of  this  organization  is  warm 
and  cordial  beyond  measure,  the  close  family  feeling 
being  paramount,  but  theirs  is  not  a  selfish  union, 
for  at  all  times  they  are  ready  to  respond  to  any  call 
for  help,  and  give  generously  of  their  talents,  both  as 
a  whole,  or  in  part;  quartettes,  trios,  duets  and  solo- 
ists supplying  programs  at  short  notice.  The  entire 
chorus  has  given  several  concerts  at  the  Soldier's 
Home,  both  at  Sawtelle  and  Stonycroft,  at  Glendale, 
and  keep  that  as  a  part  of  the  year's  work.  The 
social  side  is  not  neglected,  either,  as  the  many  pic- 
nics and  dances  attest.  On  May  2,  a  card  party  and 
dance  will  be  held   at  the  club  house. 

One  fact  of  which  this  chorus  is  particularly  proud, 
is  that  every  year  has  been  closed  with  all  bills 
paid.  , 

The    chorus    begins    rehearsals    the    first    Friday    in 


September  and  continues  through  June,  meeting  each 
Friday  at  10  a.  m.  Any  one  who  would  like  to  join 
may  meet  the  chairman  and  director  at  9:45  for  in- 
formation  as   to   dues,   etc.,   and   voice   test.

The  CLUBIVOMAN 


THE  STORY  OF  A  FAMILY   OF   ROBINS 

By  Mary  B.  Salmon,  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society 


A  wise  man  has  said,   "Listen  to  birds   and   sages." 

What  can  be  lovelier  than  to  be  responsive  to  the 
songs  of  birds  and  to  be  informed  about  their  habits 
and  their  life  histories,  to  gather  cheer  and  sweet- 
ness for  our  own  lives  from  theirs!  They  are  God's 
minstrels,  these  "brothers  of  the  air."  One  of  the 
greatest  thrills  such  a  "minded"  person  can  have 
is  the  confidence  and  trust  of  some  of  God's  wild 
creatures. 

The  writer  has  for  many  seasons  loved  the  birds, 
studied  about  them,  fed  and  cared  for  distressed  or 
crippled  individuals,  but  this  year  had  the  wonder- 
ful experience  of  raising  successfully  a  family  of 
four  wild  birds  without  a  cage  or  any  confinement 
put  upon  them.  A  large  elm  tree  had  been  cut 
down,  early  last  April,  in  a  neighbor's  yard,  which 
contained  a  nest  of  four  young  robins  less  than  a 
week  old.  The  crashing  tree  dislodged  the  nest, 
frightened  or  injured  the  parents,  and  scattered  the 
young   birds    on   the   ground. 

I  made  a  nest  of  excelsior,  put  the  birdlings  into 
it,  placed  the  nest  in  a  basket  and  tied  it  to  a  nearby 
tree,  expecting  and  hoping  that  the  parents  would 
hear  their  cries  for  food  and  come  to  them.  Evening 
came  and  the  little  birds  were  calling  hopelessly  for 
food.  It  was  too  cool  to  leave  them  out  all  night 
so  I  took  down  the  basket  and  was  appalled  at  the 
four  desperate  birds  reaching  up  and  trying  to  swal- 
low my  fingers.  Never  having  had  much  success  in 
feeding  young  birds,  I  feared  to  begin,  but  knowing 
they  would  starve  before  morning  if  they  had  no 
food,  I  decided  to  make  the  attempt. 

I  dug  angle  worms  and  put  them  into  their  mouths 
with  a  pair  of  sugar  tongs,  and  made  small  balls  of 
bread,  rolled  in  clean  sand  and  dropped  into  their 
always  open  mouths.  After  they  were  satisfied  they 
snuggled  down  into  a  nice  warm  ball,  heads  resting  on 
each  other's  back,  ready  to  sleep,  and  I  covered  them 
with    a    soft   shawl. 

Next  morning  I  was  almost  afraid  to  look  into  the 
basket  lest  the  baby  robins  might  be  dead;  but  as  soon 
as  they  felt  me  lifting  the  shawl  they  began  calling 
for  breakfast,  and  assuring  me  they  were  quite  ready 
to  try  the  new  bill  of  fare.  I  added  scraped  apple 
to  the  worms  and  bread. 

After  a  few  days  the  oldest  ones  refused  to  be 
covered  over  at  night,  but  sat  on  the  edge  of  the 
basket.  In  a  week's  time  none  of  them  would  en- 
dure being  covered.  The  two  largest  were  now 
about  ready  to  leave  the  nest,  so  I  put  the  basket 
out  among  some  low  shrubs,  and  the  birds  made  ef- 
forts to  hop  and  fly  about  among  the  branches.  At 
the  end  of  that  warm  day  they  had  gained  much 
strength.  Our  yard  is  enclosed  by  a  high  lattice, 
and  there  are  shrubs  and  vines  and  trees  growing  in 
it,  a  bird  bath  and  no  cats  in  the  neighborhood;  so 
it  proved  an  ideal  place  for  my  robins,  as  many 
robin  mothers  had  found  out  in  other  days.  I  learned 
much  about  dirt  from  these  real  mothers.  A  mother 
robin  would  bring  her  family  to  our  pan  of  chicken 
feed  (mostly  table  scraps)  and  fill  them  up  from  the 
pan.  It  seemed  strange  that  she  would  never  help 
me  one  bit  to  feed  my  family,  nor  pay  any  attention 
to  them.  As  the  birds  grew  they  ventured  farther 
away,  and  one  morning  I  found  one  of  them  in  a 
neighbor's  strawberry  bed  helping  himself!  He  had 
flown   over  the,  fence   for  the  first  time. 

They  now  slept  in  the  trees  at  night.  About  day- 
break I  would  hear  them  calling  for  food,  and  fre- 
quently I  went  out  at  four  o'clock  to  give  them  their 


breakfast.  When  I  opened  the  door  and  called 
"Come  Robin,"  they  came  flying  to  me  and  would 
light  on  my  head  and  shoulders  and  hands  demand- 
ing food.  It  took  them  a  surprisingly  long  time  to 
learn  to  feed  themselves.  I  would  put  the  food  be- 
fore them,  they  would  look  at  it,  make  a  feeble  eflfort 
to  lift  it  in  their  beaks,  but  they  could  not  do  it;  so 
I  would  hold  it  up;  they  would  open  their  mouths 
and  I  would  drop  it  in.  When  they  had  had  enough 
they  usually  would  fluff  out  their  feathers,  wipe  off 
their  bills  and  settle  down  to  a  nap  just  where  they 
sat.  I  would  take  them  to  a  tree  and  place  them  on 
a  small  branch,  as  I  had  not  time  for  them  to  sleep 
on  my  hands  and  arms!  I  never  handled  them  by 
taking  their  bodies  in  my  hand,  as  they  did  not  like 
to  be  touched.  They  would  clasp  th^ir  feet  about 
my  fingers  and  I  carried  them  about  as  they  held 
very  tight.  I  would  hold  my  fingers  beside  the  limb 
of  the  tree  and  pull  the  long  toe  oveir  it,  and  in  this 
way  transfer  their  little  feet  to  the  limb  without  dis- 
turbing them  much  and  not  alarming  them  in  the 
least. 

As  they  grew  older  they  seemed  to  associate  the 
spade  with  their  meals,  and  when  they  saw  me  take 
it  in  hand  and  start  for  the  rose  hedge,  where  the 
damp  ground  held  many  worms,  they  flew  or  hopped 
along  and  would  all  four  sit  at  my  feet  while  I 
turned  out  their  delicious  meal.  It  seemed  to  almost 
make  their  mouths  water  to  see  even  thei  tiny  end  of 
a  juicy  angle  worm,  and  they  would  stab  at  it  with 
their  bills  and  quarrel  over  which  one  should  have 
it,  snapping  bills  and  dragging  their  wings  on  the 
ground.  It  was  funny  to  see  them  pull  out  a  long 
worm  and  brace  themselves  and  lean  back  to  get  it 
all!  Usually  another  one  would  get  the  other  end 
and  we  would  have  a  real  tug-of-war!  I  gave  them 
canned  cherries  and  when  our  tree  had  a  few  pink 
ones  on  top,  they  knew  just  what  they  were  and  who 
had  the  first  chance  at  them.  It  is  needless  to  say 
that  we  gathered  very  few  cherries.  It  was  amusing 
to  see  them  sitting  in  a  row  drinking  water  from  a 
spoon.  One  warm  day  they  were  so  restless  I  de- 
cided they  needed  a  drink.  I  had  been  afraid  to 
pour  water  into  their  mouths,  so  I  held  up  the  spoon 
and  they  drank  eagerly. 

Their  first  bath  was  very  funny.  All  four  birds 
sat  on  the  rim  of  the  bird  bath  looking  longingly 
into  the  water.  The  largest  one  finally  hopped  in, 
stuck  his  bill  into  the  water,  gave  his  head  a  shake 
and  began  to  splash.  Before  long  all  four  were 
splashing  water,  and  looking  so  bedraggled  when 
they  waded  out,  but  were  often  in  after  that.  How 
robins  do  love  to  bathe!  When  they  became  full 
grown  they  did  n  ot  seem  to  agree  together  as  a  happy 
family  and  the  oldest  one  would  snap  his  bill  and 
scold  the  others.  One  day  he  was  gone  and  after  that 
he  only  came  now  and  then,  and  seemed  wilder  each 
visit  he  made  until  he  quit  coming.  Then  the  second 
one  went  and  then  the  third,  coming  back  every  few 
days,  but  staying  only  a  little  while.  At  last  the 
smallest  one  felt  independent  enough  to  launch  out 
for  himself  and  I  was  bereft  of  my  robins.  Their 
breasts  were  still  speckled  when  they  left  us.  I  was 
interested  in  the  behavior  of  one  that  was  different 
from  the  others.  I  noticed  her  sitting  in  a  little  pile 
of  alfalfa  hay;  she  took  some  straws  of  it  and  ar- 
ranged a  depression  with  her  body,  moving  round 
and  round,  pressing  against  it  with  her  breast.  When 
she  flew  away  I  examined  it  and  thought  it  was  an 
attempt  to  make   a  nest,   and  that  this  one  was   a  fe-

cultural Department  of  the  government  at  Washing- 
ton for  a  permit  to  band  the  birds.  They  sent  me 
the  aluminum  bands  with  numbers  and  the  records 
vfhich  were  filled  out  and  returned  to  Washington. 
So  the  life  history  of  the  birds  is  filed  there  and  it  is 
hoped   that  the  whole  story  of  their  return   and   other 


facts  about  them  may  be  learned  through  this  method 
of  marking  them.

HIGHLAND  PARK   EBELL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  George  F.  Cook,  Press  CJiairman 


Some  of  the  recent  enjoyable  features  of  club  life 
at  Highland  Park  Ebell  Club  have  been  of  a  creative 
type.  "The  Pea-Green  Cats,"  a  one-act  comedy, 
written  by  Mrs.  R.  W.  Snell,  a  versatile  member  of 
the  club,  was  staged  by  the  Laboratory  Players  under 
the  direction  of  Anne   Virginia   Snowden. 

At  the  literature  luncheon  in  March  poets  and 
poetry  were  reviewed  by  Mrs.  R.  H.  Zimmerman, 
who  wove  them  together  from  past  to  present  in  a 
happy  manner.  Equally  enjoyable  was  the  review 
of  Mary  Johnson's  "Croatan,"  by  another  member, 
Miss  Nellie  M.  White. 

"Some  Things  Now  Happening  in  the  World"  was 
the  absorbing  topic  of  Dr.  James  A.  Francis  at  one 
morning  session.  He  urged  the  women  to  help  create 
a  sentiment  that  America  can  take  her  part  in  the 
settlement  of  international  affairs.  Preceding  the 
lecture,  an  exhibition  of  skillful  technique  was  given 
by  the  pianist,  Mrs.  Theta  L.  Van  Dugteren,  in 
Chopin's  "Prelude  Op.  28,  No.  5,"  and  A.  Scriabine's 
Nocturne  Op.  9,  No.  2,  the  latter  with  the  left  hand 
entirely. 

Cards  and  raah  jongg  were  enjoyed  at  an  afternoon 
party   at  the   club   house   March   14. 


The  morning  for  public  affairs  is  valuable  educa- 
tionally and  a  suitable  program  is  provided  by  the 
chairman,  Mrs.  John  H.  Foley.  A  study  of  the  Con- 
stitution is  being  made.  The  subject  for  the  March 
session  was,  "Our  National  Government,"  under  two 
headings;  the  first  being  "The  Executive  Depart- 
ment," which  was  discussed  by  Charles  B.  Moore, 
principal  of  Franklin  High  School,  and  the  second^ 
"The  Judicial  Department,"  by  Gurney  E.  Newlin, 
attorney. 

Songs  of  the  birds  were  imitated  by  Mrs.  Irving  J. 
MitcheJl  at  one  morning  session  and  Mrs.  Harriet 
William  Myers,  general  and  district  federation 
chairman,  gave  her  fine  lecture  on  birds  and  wild 
flowers  accompanied  by  her  beautiful  stereopticon 
slides.  At  the  section  meeting  the  members  journeyed 
to  the  home  of  Mrs.  Myers  to  view  her  new  books, 
the  patron's  edition  de  luxe  of  "Birds  of  California," 
by  William  L.  Davidson;  "Woodpeckers,"  illustrated 
with  skins  of  the  birds,  were  studies!. 

The  Rambler  section  spent  a  day  at  Sunset  Can- 
yon Country  Club  as  the  guests  of  Miss  Jeanette  L. 
Hazel.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


The  Drama  section  read,  "Mary,  Mary,  Quite  Con- 
trary,"  by  St.  John  Ervine^ 

Miss  M.  Winifred  Rouzee  made  vivid  her  experi- 
ences in  her  world  travels  described  before  the  Bible 
section. 

"Cymbeline,"  first  and  second  acts,  were  read  by 
the   Shakespeare  section. 

Historical  sketches  were  given  before  history  and 
landmark  section  by  Mrs.  W.  R.  Myers  and  Mrs.  J. 
W.   Douthit. 

In  observance  of  Art  Week,  club  members  were 
urged   to  visit   artist  studios. 

Regarding  the  President's  Council,  held  all  day 
February  29  in  Highland  Park  Ebell  Clubhouse,  it  is 
said  that  never  before  in  the  history  of  the  Los  Ange- 
les District  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  has  such  a 
comprehensive,  inspirational  and  informative  presi- 
dents' council  been  held.  Fully  500  people  attended 
the  sessions  of  the  day.  A  delicious  luncheon  was 
served  to  200  in  the  club's  dining  hall  and  the  same 
kind  of  a  luncheon  was  served  to  nearly  as  many 
at  near-by  restaurants.  Mrs.  Harry  Louis  Stroh, 
president,  representing  the  hostess  club,  gave  as  her 
welcoming  greeting  the  significant  words  in  club  ac- 
tivities,  "dependability  and   co-operation." 


HOLLENBECK  EBELL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  P.  H.  Marlette,  Press  Chairman. 

The  Hollenbeck  Ebell  has  prepared  a  reciprocity 
program  in  accordance  with  the  plans  this  year  of 
the  district  program  chairman — a  California  Day 
program — including  a  brief  resume  of  California  his- 
tory by  Mrs.  J.  A.  Smith,  chairman  of  current  events, 
a  paper  on  the  romance  of  the  state  by  Mrs.  W.  D. 
Johnston. 

The  Drama  chairman,  Mrs.  Kathryn  Engelhorn, 
unable    to    procure    a    play    that    filled    in    with    the 


ideas  of  the  program,  wrote,  "The  Path  of  the  Padres," 
which  portrays  the  Spanish  dominance  in  our  history, 
the  chorus,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  W.  D.  John- 
ston, furthering  this  idea  by  means  of  Spanish  songs. 
Mrs.  W.  F.  Fromme,  with  readings  from  California 
authors,  brings  the  history  down  another  hundred 
years — and  the  last  two  numbers,  an  original  poem, 
"California,"  written  and  given  by  Mrs.  C.  L.  Vose, 
who  though  85  years  old,  is  still  an  enthusiastic 
woman;  and,  "There's  No  Place  Like  California,"  a 
musical  selection  given  by  Mrs.  W.  D.  Johnston,  so- 
prano, and  Mrs.  M.  C.  Kirkeby,  contralto,  bring  us 
to   the    California    of   today. 


THE   COMMUNITY   CLUB   OF 
SANTA  MARIA 


By  Lucretia  Reynolds  Smith,  Corresponding  Secretary 

The  Community  Club  of  Santa  Maria  was  organized 
less  than  three  years  ago,  but  filling  the  need  for  an 
opportunity  for  free  and  independent  expression,  its 
growth  has  been  wonderful  and  its  influence  far  be- 
yond the  hopes  of  even  its  most  ardent  and  optimistic 
supporters. 

Our  work  is  chiefly  civic,  two  of  our  annual  features 
being  the  spring  clean-up  and  an  Easter  Egg  hunt,  the 
latter  affording  amusement  for  several  hundred  chil- 
dren. For  all  worth-while  and  democratic  move- 
ments, we  lend  moral  influence,  and  so  far  as  pos- 
sible, financial  assistance  as  well.  Thanks  to  an 
appreciative  and  sympathetic  community,  the  latter 
has  been  no  small  item. 

Our  latest  work  has  been  the  organization  of  three 
Junior  Auxiliaries  by  three  wide-awake  and  earnest 
members  of  the  club— Mrs.  William  Litzenberg,  Mrs. 
Walter  Lincoln  Smith   and   Mrs.   F.  L.  Breed.

THE  SOUTH  SIDE  EBELL  CLUB  OF  LOS  ANGELES 

By   Dr.  Marian    Trade   Wliiting,  President 


The  vision  to  which  the  South  Side  Ebell  has  been 
steadily  and  undeviatingly  held  by  the  administration 
of  the  past  two  years  has  been  "Build  that  which 
will  last.  Do  the  things  worth  while  which  make 
life  a  bit  broader  and  finer  for  the  greatest  number. 
Think  the  thoughts  which  can  harm  no  one  and  which 
must  help  everyone.  Hold  the  ideals  that  will  make 
you,  as  an  individual  just  a  bit  higher,  and  will  by 
that  much  raise  the  aura  of  all  with  whom  you  come 
in   contact." 

Many  worth-while  things  have  we  done  as  a  club 
striving  to  refrain  from  the  spectacular,  or  the  false 
standardization  which  makes  an  incentive  of  eclipsing 
other  clubs  in  the  residential  class  as  is  ours.  Among 
the  most  substantial  achievements  for  the  promise  that 
it  holds  of  future  use,  is  the  creating  and  launching 
of  the  Home  Arts  Section  to  which  the  club  devotes 
one  day  each  month.  Domestic  problems,  dress  and 
hat  building,  table  appointments  in  keeping  with  the 
size  and  quality  of  the  homes  most  prevalent,  little 
niceties  of  decorative  and  furnishing  ideas,  all  are 
thrashed  out.  In  the  evening  the  ladies  get  a  simple 
dinner  for  the  husbands,  after  which  a  community 
sing  and  two  or  three  good  numbers  of  entertainment 
are  provided,  and  then  the  civic  questions  of  the 
day  are  discussed.  A  brief  talk  on  "What  the  World 
Is  Doing,"  followed  by  an  open  forum  of  such  of  its 
doings  as  interest  us  vitally. 

As  Mrs.  Mead,  president  of  the  Hollywood  Wom- 
an's Club,  and  most  human  of  lovable  women,  re- 
marked at  her  Reciprocity  Day,  we  "had  a  bare  two 
minutes  last  vear   to   relate  the  club   activities   of   our 


club  year.  This  year  we  are  to  have  three  minutes. 
If  I  talked  slang  I  should  say  we  have  'put  one  over' 
on  Mrs.  Toll  today.  But  as  I  don't  talk  slang,  I 
should  not  like  to  be  quoted  as  having  said  any  such 
thing.  However,  we  are  going  to  give  you  a  three 
hour  and  a  half  report  of  our  work."  Then  she  gave 
a  thorough  demonstration  through  her  Public  Welfare 
Section  of  the  splendid  work  of  that  one  branch  of  her 
club  work.     Wasn't  it  wonderful?     and   Meadish? 

Well,  I  am  going  to  make  a  brief  resume  of  just  a 
few  of  our  achievements.  We  have  a  new  baby 
grand  piano;  have  been  received  into  and  paid  dues 
to  the  District,  the  State  and  the  General  Convention, 
the  Biennial,  have  kept  our  already  famed  Loan 
Closet  system  of  philanthropy  active  and  busy  and 
have  done  our  bit  for  our  soldiers.  Have  given  as 
the  Master  bade,  to  those  who  were  needy,  and  in 
all  things,  have  striven  to  do  unto  others  as  we  would 
that  they  should  do  unto  us.  Has  it  not  been  well 
done?

The  CLUBWOMAN 


ment  was  made  of-  a  new  organization  within  the 
club  known  as  the  "Past  President's  Club,"  of  which 
Miss  Emilie  Hadley  was  made  president.  This  inner 
club  is  functioning  in  many  ways  helpful  to  the  club 
as   a   whole. 

Notable  among  our  programs  have  been  the  read- 
ing of  "Dickens'  Christmas  Carol,"  by  Dr.  Maxwell 
Ryder;  "A  Talk  on  Astronomy,"  by  Paul  W.  Mer- 
rill of  Mt.  Wilson  Observatory;  a  lecture,  "How  We 
Think,"  by  Dr.  Walter  F.  Dexter,  president  of  Whit- 
tier  College;  a  talk  by  Mrs.  Myra  Nye;  Booth  Tark- 
ington's  one-act  farce,  "The  Trysting  Place,"  put  on 
by  members  of  the  Literature  Section;  a  splendid 
program  by  pupils  of  the  local  high  school;  and  "An 
Hour  of   Music,"   with   Mrs.    Gertrude   Ross. 

Regular  meetings  of  the,  club  are  held  on  the  first 
and  third  Wednesdays  of  the  month  with  a  good  at- 
tendance. There  are  eight  sections  doing  active,  con- 
structive  work. 

The  Household  Economics  Section  have  had  cook- 
ing, electrical,  facial  and  fashion  demonstration,  as 
well  as   entertaining  programs. 

The    Literature    Section    has    studied    modern    poets 


and  authors,  papers  being  given  by  members  of  the 
section    and    a   general    discussion   following. 

The  Music  Section  has  had  a  year's  study  of  Amer- 
ican composers.  Its  members  have  given  one  splen- 
did program  before  the  club,  and  this  section  has 
presented  the  club  with   a  new  grand  piano. 

The  Art  and  the  Household  Arts  Sections  joined 
in  a  course  of  lectures  by  Prof.  Clark  of  the  Exten- 
sion Department  of  the,  University  of  California  dur- 
ing the  first  half  of  the  year.  At  present  the  Art 
Section  is  doing  real  work  under  the  instruction  of 
Miss  Hills,  of  Laguna  Beach. 

The  Social  Section  has  held  dancing  parties  for 
club   members   and    invited   friends   once   each   month. 

A  Political  Science  Section  has  been  formed  this 
year  which   is  studying  forms  of  government. 

A  Folk  Dancing  Section  maintains  a  class  for  the 
children  of  club  members. 

The  standing  committee  and  chairman  of  depart- 
ments have  been  active  in  carrying  on  the  club  work 
and  charity's  demands  have  been  responded  to  gladly 
and  generously. 

About  sixty  new  members  have  been  added  during 
the  year. 


THE  SANTA  ANA  EBELL  SOCIETY 


The  Santa  Ana  Ebell  Society  celebrated  its  thirtieth 
birthday  this  year,  being  but  a  month  younger  than 
its  sister  club,  the  Los  Angeles  Ebell.  From  a  char- 
ter membership  of  forty-five,  gathered  together  on 
a  November  afternoon  in  1894  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
J.  R.  Medlock,  the  club  has  grown  until  it  has  a 
membership  of  four  hundred,  and  in  May  it  will  move 
into  the  beautiful  club  house  now  nearing  completion. 

Mrs.  W.  S.  Bartlett,  now  of  Los  Angeles,  known 
and  beloved  throughout  all  California's  clubdom, 
was  Santa  Ana  Ebeil's  first  president,  and  Mrs. 
Bartlett  was  followed  by  Mrs.  E.  D.  Buss,  who  has 
since  occupied  the  president's  chair  of  the  California 
Federation. 

Ebeil's  official  title  is  "The  Ebell  Society  of  the 
Santa  Ana  Valley,"  for,  although  there  are  now 
many  other  clubs  in  the  prosperous  cities  and  towns 
of  the  valley,  Ebell  was  the  pioneer,  and  in  its  early 
days  was  the  club  home  for  women  all  over  the 
county. 

Since  its  beginning,  Ebell  has  always  playerf  a 
useful  part  in  the  life  of  the  community,  and  has 
given  generous  support  to  every  movement  for  civic 
welfare.  Ebeil's  interest  and  generosity  has  also  al- 
ways extended  beyond  her  own  home  city,  and  in 
its  history  files  of  earlier  days  are  found,  besides 
records  of  gifts  of  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  and  the 
Municipal  Fountain  Fund,  to  the  library,  schools  and 
local  charities,  such  items  as  contributions  to  the   San 


Francisco  earthquake  sufferers,  to  the  Los  Angeles 
Times  bomb  victims,  to  the  History  and  Landmarks 
Association,  the  El  Camino  Real  Club,  to  which  one 
of  the  mission  beJls  that  marks  the  famous  old  high- 
way, was  also  given. 

During  the  World  War,  the  Santa  Ana  Ebell  laid 
aside  nearly  all  its  usual  activities,  and  resolved  itself 
into  an  auxiliary  to  the  Red  Cross,  working  as  a 
unit  in  whatever  way  it  could  best  serve. 

For  many  years  the  center  of  the  musical  and  cul- 
tural activities  of  Santa  Ana  and  the  surrounding 
towns,  the  Ebell  still  oflfers  not  only  to  its  members, 
but  often  to  the  public  as  well,  some  of  the  best  talent 
that  can  be  secured.  The  club  is  now  furnishing  a 
room  in  the  new  Y.  M.  C.  A.  building,  and  aided 
generously  in  the  construction  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  hut 
on  the  grounds  of  the  Polytechnic  High  School. 

In  1910  the  Santa  Ana  Ebell  established  a  day 
nursery,  a  most  worthy  philanthropy  which  it  has 
ever  since  maintained,  and  last  year,  with  the  gener- 
ous co-operation  of  the  local  Rotary  Club,  a  pleasant 
home  was  purchased  for  the  Day  Nursery,  which 
will  be  adequate  for  its  needs  for  some  years  to 
come. 

For  twenty-five  of  its  thirty  years  of  club  life, 
Santa  Ana  Ebell  has  looked  longingly  toward  the  day 
when  she  might  own  and  occupy  her  own  home.  In 
1910  a  lot  in  a  fine  residence  district  was  secured, 
and    adjoining   property    has    since    been    added,    and

year  by  year  the  club  house  fund  has  grown,  and 
late  last  summer  the  ground  was  broken  for  a  very 
wonderful  club  house  which,  when  finished  and  fur- 
nished, will  be  worth  well  over  $100,000.  A  beauti- 
ful auditorium,  which  will  seat  600,  a  spacious  dining 
room,  parlors,  board  rooms,  a  patio  with  arched 
corridors,  all  carried  out  in  perfect  harmony  in  the 
Spanish  style — this  is  the  luxurious  home  into  which 
after  years  of  patient  and  thrifty  housewifery,  the 
Ebell  will  move  in  May,  and  where  thereafter  her 
members  and  their  friends  will  spend  many  happy 
hours. 

Ebell,  with  other  California  clubs,  is  working  hard 
for  the  success  of  the  coming  biennial  in  Los  Angeles, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  many  of  the  visitors  from  far 
and  wide  will  visit  Orange  County,  and  stop  at  the 
Ebell  Club  House  for  a  friendly  cup  of  tea  and  the 
welcome  that,  under  the  gracious  presidency  of  Mrs. 
Angus   J.   Crookshank,    will    always    await   them. 


THE  NEPTUNIAN  CLUB  OF 
MANHATTAN   BEACH 


By  Maude  C.  tVithers,  Press  Committee 
The  Neptunian  Club  of  Manhattan  Beach  is  near- 
ing  the  close  of  a  very  successful  year  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Mrs.  E.  Sinsabaugh,  President.  Having  added 
quite  a  number  to  our  membership  list,  substantially 
increased  our  finances,  and  enjoyed  some  instructive 
and  entertaining  programs  outlined  by  our  program 
committee,  Mrs.  G.  E.  Delavan,  Mrs.  Graham  Smith 
and  Mrs.  M.  Meacham,  we  are  now  planning  to  en- 
tertain some  of  our  biennial  visitors  and  of  course 
never  losing  sight  of  our  proposed  club  house. 


GOLDEN  STATE  DIVISION  NO. 

134  OF  THE  G.  I.  A.  TO 

THE  B.  OF  L.  E. 

By  Helen  P.  Busli,  Press  Chairman 
Much   energy  and  money  of   this  auxiliary  must  be 
spent  for  our  own  needy  ones   but  we   also   strive   to 
help  others  and  many  a  deserving  cause  or  organiza- 
tion has  received   aid. 

Being  a  secret  order,  our  semi-monthly  afternoon 
meetings  must  be  devoted  to  a  certain  amount  of 
ritualistic  business  and  it  is  impossible  to  give  as 
much  time  to  federation  work  as  we  would  like,  but 
we  take  pride  in  being  a  unit  of  the  California  Fed- 
eration, gladly  pay  our  dues  with  promptness  and 
are  thankful  for  the  benefits  received  from  that  or- 
ganization, prominent  among  them  being  the  privilege 
of  obtaining  interesting   and   helpful   speakers.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


CONTEMPORARY   CLUB  OF  REDLANDS 


By  Harriett  May  Herrin. 


This  has  been  a  prosperous  and  happy  year  for  this 
busy  club  of  350  members,  with  its  Auxiliary  and 
Junior  League,  with  more  women  working  than  ever 
before. 

The  open  winter  has  made  possible  the  use  of  the 
green,  walled  garden  at  the  south  of  the  building, 
not  only  for  tea  hour  following  weekly  Monday  pro- 
grams, but  also  for  the  morning  classes  in  current 
events    in   English. 

Beginning  in  the  fall  with  a  celebration  of  the 
thirtieth  anniversary  which  witnessed  the  final  liquid- 
ation of  all  bonded  indebtedness,  which  was  a  par- 
ticularly happy  occasion,  interesting  programs  have 
followed  closely  one  upon  another.  Programs  of 
local  interest  included  talks  on  the  desert  and  its  life, 
soma  newly  discovered  history  of  the  San  Bernar- 
dino Valley,  and  Smiley  Day  program  in  tribute  to 
the  Smiley  brothers,  donors  of  Smiley  Heights  and 
Library. 

Two  delightful  afternoons  of  music  from  Los  An- 
geles artists  and  an  evening  of  song  and  story  by 
San  Diego  artists,  were  arranged  by  the  music  com- 
mittee, new  this  year. 

An  interesting  political  talk  by  Peter  Clarke  Mac- 
farlane  and  a  stirring  address  on  the  Constitution  and 
its  history  were  included,  also  an  illustrated  lecture 
on  the  development  of  hydro-electric  energy  by  an 
official  lecturer  of  the  Southern  California  Edison 
Company.  A  discussion  of  the  wonderful  things  of 
nature  by  a  local  science  teacher  and  an  address  on 
city  planning  by  a  Los  Angeles  expert  were  enjoyed. 
A  delightful  program  on  Christmas  books  was  given 
by  our  own  members  and  a  description  of  the  treas- 
ures of  the   Southwest  Museum  by  its  curator. 

Two  travel  talks  have  been  included,  one  by  a 
member  just  returned  from  a  round-the-world  cruise, 
another  travelogue  with  costumes  on  India  and  the 
South  Seas.  A  unique  afternoon,  March  31,  was 
featured  by  original  work  done  the  past  few  months 
by  the  weekly  class  in  writing  of  English. 

Business  of  considerable  length  is  considered  at 
bi-monthly  conference  luncheons  when  the  home  eco- 
nomics committee  is  called  into  service.  At  the  first 
one  this  season  ways  in  which  the  club  might  enter 
an  active  program  of  beautifying  the  town  was  dis- 
cussexl. 

A  current  events  class  through  the  winter  has  been 
conducted  by  the  members  week  about,  with  an  oc- 
casional outside   speaker. 

The  Evening  Auxiliary  of  business  women  has   al- 


most doubled  its  membership  within  the  year.  It 
has  enjoyed  a  program  of  splendid  addresses  and 
music,  with  an  occasional  evening  for  recreation 
and  banqueting.  It  is  now  considering  affiliation  with 
,  the  State  Federation,  Business  and  Professional  Wom- 
en's Clubs,  state  officers  having  presented  the  matter 
this    month. 

The  Junior  League  has  just  concluded  an  active 
year  with  classes  in  current  events  and  intexpretive 
dancing.  In  recognition  of  its  position  as  the  first 
Junior  League  auxiliary  of  its  kind  in  America,  the 
girls  have  been  asked  to  act  as  ushers  and  pages  at 
the  coming  biennial  in  Los  Angeles,  and  are  taking 
much  pleasure  in  the  fact. 


THE    GALPIN    SHAKESPEARE 
CLUB 


By  Caroline  S.  Bradley,  Press  Chairman. 

Mrs.  William  E.  Silverwood  delighted  the  Galpin 
Shakespeare  Club  at  its  March  meeting  with  her  ex- 
cellent rendition  of  John  Drinkwater's  historical 
plays,   "Abraham   Lincoln,"   and    "Mary   Stuart." 

Mrs.  Robert  Robinson,  the  leader  for  the  day,  gave 
a  brief  critical  review  of  these  widely  different  dra- 
mas, and  also  led  the  discussion  which  followed  the 
reading  of  the   plays. 

Particularly  interesting  were  personal  recollections 
of  the  death  of  Lincoln,  which  were  recalled  by  sev- 
eral members  of  the  club,  who  weje  children  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  The  reverence  in  which  Lincoln 
was  held  and  the  deep  sense  of  tragedy  which  per- 
vaded their  homes  when  the  word  of  his  assassina- 
tion reached  them,  made  a  deep  and  lasting  impres- 
sion   upon   their   youthful   minds. 

Arrangements  have  been  perfected  for  the  April 
meeting  of  the  club,  which  day  is  the  Galpin  "gala" 
day. 

It  is  at  this  meeting  that  the  members  of  the  Galpin 
Study  Class  who  have  completed  the  study  of  twenty 
of  Shakespeare's  dramas,  are  received  into  the  mem- 
bership of  the  club. 

The  occasion  will  be  celebrated  on  Saturday  aft- 
ernoon, April  26,  at  two  o'clock,  at  the  Cummock 
School  of  Expression. 

A  Shakespearian  play,  in  costume  will  be  pre- 
sented by  members  of  the  club.  Mrs.  Frayne  Wil- 
liams, the  actor  producer,  is  directing  the   affair.

THE   LEAGUE  OF  AMERICAN  PEN  WOMEN 

By  Bertha   Lincoln  Heustis,  President. 


The  League  of  American  Pen  Women  is  a  national 
organization  with  a  very  rapidly  increasing  mem- 
bership. Originally  founded  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
in  June,  1897,  with  the  simple  object  to  band  together 
women  journalists,  authors  and  illustrators  for  mutual 
benefit,  the  society  has  grown  to  such  proportions  that 
it  now  embraces  other  creative  workers,  lecturers, 
composers  of  music  and  scenario  writers,  and  has 
become  of  splendid  helpfulness  to  the  workers  in 
various   lines. 

Since  the  earliest  days  the  League  of  American 
Pen  Women  has  been  a  part  of  the  General  Federa- 
tion of  Women's  Clubs  and  the  National  Editorial 
Association  has  welcomed  delegates  from  the  League. 

The  steady  growth  has  made  it  necessary  to  found 
auxiliaries  or  branches,  not  as  separate  organizations 
but  to  keep  together  the  members  in  various  sections 
of  the  country.  Membership  is  prized  as  it  is  need- 
ful to  pass  the  National  Membership  Committee,  the 
National  Board  and  the  Registrar  before  acceptance 
is  made.  The  applicant  must  be  presented  by  a  mem- 
ber in  good  standing  and  endorsed  properly  by  other 
members  in  addition  to  showing  credentials  of  work 
that  has  been  paid  for. 

A  membership  card  in  the  league  is  accepted  by 
all  branches  and  the  motto:  "One  for  all  and  all  for 
one,"   is   literally   adhered   to. 

The  local  branch  was  suggested  in  1914  by  Mrs. 
Bertha  Heustis,  then  first  vice-president  of  the  Na- 
tional  Society   and    acting  president. 

Mrs.    Florence    Pierce    Reed    was    chosen    by    Mrs. 


Heustis  as  organizing  president.  No  permanent  or- 
ganization was  effected  until  1919,  and  since  then 
the  Los  Angeles  branch  has  been  active  in  many 
ways. 

April  23-26,  inclusive,  occurs  the  biennial  conven- 
tion in  Washington,  D.  C.  This  has  become  one  of 
the  great  literary  and  social  affairs  of  the  capital. 
The  book  or  literary  luncheon  is  attended  by  the  of- 
ficial set,  the  representatives  of  great  publishing 
firms,   writers,   artists,  and   famous   composers. 

A  radio  committee  has  been  recently  appointed  with 
Miss  Anita  Browne  of  New  York  as  national  chair- 
man and  Mrs.  Heustis,  western  chairman.  The  three 
other  members  are  from  Washington,  D.  C,  Chicago 
and   Pittsburg. 

Book  reviews,  lectures,  and  social  affairs  have 
kept  the  Los  Angeles  members  actively  eager  to  con- 
tinue in  "good   standing." 

Every  week  visitors  from  various  portions  of  the 
country  come  to  Los  Angeles  and  always  find  a  pleas- 
ant welcome  from  the  local  branch  members. 

The  special  committee  to  accomplish  wonderful 
results  has  been  the  one  for  the  aid  of  the  wounded 
veterans. 

Artists  have  exhibited  their  pictures  for  the  local 
branch   with   excellent   results. 

Rather  interesting  data  is  found  in  some  of  the 
old  year  books  of  the  society.  In  1906  we  find  the 
name  of  Mrs.  Bertha  Hirsch  Baruch  as  "Editor," 
writing  for  the  Los  Angeles  Times.  Mrs.  Carrie 
Jacobs  Bond   is  listed,  "Songs,  The  Birds  and  Sunset, 


Standard  dry  goods  of  one  quality  only — the  best. 
New  fashions  daily  augment  our  assortments.

AVERILL  STUDY  CLUB 


By  Estetle  B.  Omdalen,  Corresponding  Secretary. 

Mrs.  Jennie  L.  Jones,  Supervisor  of  the  Orchestra 
Department  of  the  Los  Angeles  city  schools,  with 
thirty  children  presented  a  most  interesting  program 
before  the  Averill  Study  Club,  at  its  placa  of  meet- 
ing, the  McDowell  Art  Club,  462  North  Western 
Avenue. 

With  Mrs.  Horace  J.  Newman,  chairman  of  Social 
Service,  the  club  spent  an  afternoon  at  the  Mater- 
nity  cottage,    a   worthy  institution   aided   by  the   club. 

A  delightful  social  afternoon  was  spent  at  the  home 
of  Mrs.  John  C.  Bodger,  with  Mrs.  Emma  Jones  as 
hostess.  A  musical  program  was  furnished  by  the 
members.  Quotations  and  favors  in  keeping  with 
St.  Patrick's  Day  added  much  to  the  enjoyment  of 
the  afternoon.  Two  of  the  club  members,  Mrs. 
Charles  H.  Silk  and  Mrs.  G.  Edward  Averill  played 
the  roles  of  "little  girls,"  and  entertained  the  mem- 
bers with  two  piano  duets,  assisting  the  hospitality 
chairman,   Mrs.   M.   A.   Allen,   in   serving. 

On  March  25  Mrs.  G.  S.  Nordstrum  gave  a  re- 
view of  My  Garden  of  Memory  by  Kate  Douglas 
Wiggin,  under  the  Books  and  Magazine  Section,  with 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  G.  Wheeler  as  chairman.     Music  for 


this    program    was    furnished    by    students    from    the 
Southern   University. 

Many  new  members  have  been  added  to  our  list 
this  year  and  the  programs  with  Mrs.  William  H. 
Miller  as  chairman  have  all  been  well  received. 
Mrs.  Charles  B.  Slaughter,  the  president,  has  a 
most  able  corps  of  officers  and  they  are  all  working 
to  promote  the  high  standard  the  Averill  Club  has 
attained. 

Forth  from  little  motes  in  chaos 
We  have  come  to  what  we  are, 

And   no  evil   force  can  stay  us — 
We   shall   mount  from   star  to  star. 


GLEASON    PARLIAMENTARY 
CLUB 


By  Mrs.  F.   T.  Bicknetl,  Press   Chairman. 

The  study  of  parliamentary  law  stimulates  the 
mental  faculties  and  strengthens  the  memory.  It  is  a 
"good  citizenship"  builder,  for  it  teaches  the  observ- 
ance of  law  and  order.  It  is  an  aid  to  a  business 
career  as  it  instills  promptness,  alertness  and 
efficiency. 

It  is  a  great  character  builder  for  it  teaches  self- 
government.  No  study  yields  a  greater  profit  per 
capita  on  the  amount  of  time  and  energy  invested. 
Every  club  should  have  a  parliamentary  section,  that 
its  entire  membership  may  be  conversant  with  the 
rules  and  regulations  necessary  to  a  well  conducted 
meeting. 

The  Gleason  Parliamentary  Club,  with  its  mem- 
bership constantly  stimulated  and  increased  from  the 
graduates  of  Mrs.   I.  W.   Gleason's  classes,  is  unique

in  its  present  enrollment  of  sixteen  active  and  fifteen 
past  presidents  of  other  clubs  and  sixteen  members 
who  are  teaching  parliamentary  law  in  other  clubs. 
It  is  the  Parent  Club  which  bestows  diplomas  upon 
the  graduates  of  Gleason  Parliamentary  Clubs  in 
Maine,  New  York,  Kansas,  Washington  and  Cali- 
fornia, to  whom  it  has  recently  forwarded  eighteen 
Gleason  Parliamentary  Digests.  In  this  outside  work 
of  its  founder,  Mrs.  I.  W.  Gleason,  it  takes  pride 
and  is  inspired  to  greater  efforts,  as  the  charity  sec- 
tion, its  needlework  guild,  under  Mrs.  Norman  M. 
Day,  director,  can  testify.  It  is  also  trying  for  the 
"100  per  cent  membership  vote  registration."  At 
the  next  meeting  its  complimentary  members  will  be 
its   honor  guests. 


NEWHALL   WOMAN'S    CLUB 


By  Mrs,  Nina  B.  Wright,  President. 

An  unusually  interesting  meeting  was  held  March 
12  by  the  Newhall  Womans'  Club.  A  park  was 
briefly  discussed.  Fremont  Pass,  named  for  Colonel 
Fremont,  of  historical  fame,  and  what  is  now  known 
as  Newhall  Pass,  features  a  prominent  part  in  tlie 
educational   section. 

The  afternoon's  entertainment  consisted  of  music 
and  a  farce  entitled,  "Mclntyre's  Minstrels,"  home 
talent,  by  Mesdames  Lane,  Young  and  Densmore. 
An  original  song,  "Yes,  We  Have  No  Clubhouse," 
was  sung  by  the  trio — Newhall  ladies — which  proved 
an  incentive  to  work  harder  for  our  clubhouse. 

Mrs.  Wright,  of  Los  Angeles,  lectured  on  "Trained 
Animals    of    Stage    and    Screen." 


WA-WAN  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  If.  H.  Boyd,  Press  Chairman. 

The  Wa-Wan  Club,  through  the  philanthropy,  edu- 
cational and  altruistic  departments,  are  striving  to 
do  bigger  things  this  year.  "Service  Through  Music" 
is  their  motto,  and  with  resident  composer  programs 
and  an  excellent  play  already  given,  together  with 
the  altruistic  committee  providing  programs  at  sev- 
eral worthy  institutions,  show  rapid  growth  of  the 
club.  The.  success  alread}'  achieved  is  due  to  the 
untiring  efforts  of  the  worthy  president,  Mrs.  Wil- 
liam E.  Mabee.  She  is  chairman  of  music  in  the 
district  federation,  an  honorary  member  of  the  Na- 
tional Federation  of  Music  Clubs  and  has  been  ap- 
pointed local  program  chairman  of  music  to  assist 
Mrs.    Marx   Oberndofer   at   the   coming   Biennial. 


THE  CLIFF-DWELLINGS  CLUB 

(Formerly  The   California   Cliff-Dwellings 
Association) 


By  Mrs.  Charles  Nelson  Green,  Honorary  Regent. 

The  Cliff-Dwelling  Club  of  Southern  California  is 
a  chapter  of  the  Colorado  Cliff-Dwellings  Association, 
which  was  organized  and  maintained  for  the  pur- 
pose of  educating  the  public  to  the  importance  of 
saving  the  old  cliff  dwelling  ruins.  By  authority 
of  the  association,  Mrs.  Charles  Nelson  Green  estab- 
lished the  California  chapter,  and  the  late  Mrs. 
Thomas  H.  Whitney  established  the  New  York 
chapter. 

During  Roosevelt's  administration  Congress  passed 
a  bill  setting  aside  as  national  reservations  all  lands 
where  cliff  dwelling  ruins  were.  The  association 
was  given  the  privilege  of  restoring  Balcony  House 
of  Mesa  Verde,  Colo.  This  ruin  was  discovered  by 
Mrs.   Gilbert  McClurg,   Regent   General   of   the    asso-

"POMPARISONS  ARE  ODI-

of  $15.00  for  installing  a  j4-inch 
service  connection  from  water  main 
to  curb  and  placing  a  water  meter 
in  the  parkway.  The  home  owner 
has  to  install  pipe  from  water 
meter  to  house  at  an  additional 
cost  of,  probably,  $5.00 — a  total 
cost  of  $20.00  for  the  connection. 

By  comparison,  Los  Angeles  Gas 
and  Electric  Corporation,  which  is 
under  corporate  management  and 
Railroad  Commission  control,  in- 
stalls the  gas  meter  and  service 
connection  to  the  house  free,  with- 
in fifty  feet  of  the  property  line. 

On   the  basis   of   the  31,351    gas 

service  connections  made  by  Los 
Angeles  Gas  and  Electric  Corpora- 
tion during  1923,  the  consumers 
would  have  had  to  pay  $627,020 
for  their  connections  if  the  Cor- 
poration followed  the  s^'stem  used 
by  the  Board  of  Public  Service 
Commissioners,  which  sum  they 
did  not  have  to  pay  to  Los  Angeles 
Gas  and  Electric  Corporation.

This  is  the  same  Board  of  Public 
Service  Commissioners  ivhich  is  de- 
manding that  the  electric  system  be 
taken  away  from  Los  Angeles  Gas 
and  Electric  Corporation  and  given 
to  the  Commissioners  to  operate.

THE    WOMAN'S    CLUB 
SLAUSON 


OF 


By  Viola  A.   Van   Order,  Press   Chairman. 

The  Womans'  Club  of  Slauson  was  much  disturbed 
the  first  part  of  the  year  by  the  loss  of  its  clubhouse 
and  belongings,  but  a  sister  club  offered  us  conven- 
iences temporarily,  and  we  are  going  forward  with 
new  ambition.  It  has  been  a  most  harmonious  year 
in  the  executive  board  as  well  as  among  the  mem- 
be,rs.  We  are  building  up  bricks — not  throwing 
them. 

At  our  last  luncheon  we  had  twelve  young  mothers 
with  their  babies ;  these  young  women  have  grown 
up  in  the  club,  many  of  them  taking  part  in  our 
programs   from    childhood. 

We  are  helping  those  who  are  not  socially  in- 
clined, and  trying  to  interest  ALL  in  civic  matters, 
and  the  study  of  current  events. 

The  Rambler's  Day  each  month  gives  us  knowl- 
edge  of   all   Los   Angeles   manufactured   products. 

Our  emergency  chairman  is  ready  to  help  the 
needy  to  the  best  of  our  ability  and  our  flower  chair- 
man  brings   pleasure   to   the   sick. 

We  are,  learning  that  every  new  interest  we  pursue 
opens  another  door  to  a  broader,  happier  state  of 
mind   in  our  homes. 

Our  motto  is  "Progress  and  Harmony,"  and  we 
try  to  make  two  smiles  grow  where  a  frown  grew 
before. 


PALMDALE  WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Miss  Henrietta    W.  Brockman,  Secretary. 

We  began  the  year  with  forty-two  members.  We 
meet  the  second  and  fourth  Thursdays  at  the  homes 
of  the  members. 

A  "Memory  Quilt"  is  being  made.  Fifty  dollars 
have    already   been    realized    therefrom. 

On  March  27  Mrs.  Charles  McKelvey,  State  Par- 
liamentarian, will  be  the  speaker  at  our  meeting. 

Our  aim  is  to  gro'w  and  to  do  more  effective  work.

THE    COMMUNITY   WOMEN'S 
CLUB   OF   MICHILLINDA 

By  Mrs.   C.  R.    T--wilc/iell,  Publicity  Chairman. 

The  Community  Women's  Club  of  Michillinda, 
South  Santa  Anita,  and  Sunny  Slope,  though  very 
young,   has    accomplished    much   in   its   short   life. 

A  club  house  was  donated  but  needed  paint  inside 
and  out.  One  room  was  unfinished.  This  work  has 
been  done,  kitchen  and  dining  room  equipped  to  serve 
one   hundred,    and   all   paid   for. 

Many  noted  speakers  from  the  Federation  have 
given  of  their  time.  John  Steven  McGroarty  gave 
an  afternoon  and  promises  a  benefit  at  the  Mission 
Play. 

Madam  Ellen  Beach  Yaw  gave,  a  concert  in  Jan- 
uary. 

Luncheons  and  card  parties,  with  dances  in  pros- 
pect, contribute  to  social  life. 


SATURDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  DOWNEY 

By  Judith  McKellar,  Press   Chairman. 

The  prime  movement  just  now  of  the  Saturday 
Afternoon  Club  of  Downey  centers  around  one  ob- 
ject: the  enlarging  and  improving  of  the  clubhouse, 
which  they  have  outgrown.  To  add  to  the  building 
fund,  several  entertainments  and  parties  have  been 
given.  In  February  the  musical  comedy,  "Phoebe" 
was  put  on  by  the  Deacon  Production  Company  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  club,  which  netted  a  satisfac- 
tory sum. 

Each  month  a  banquet  is  served  to  the  Rotary  Club, 
Realty  Board  and  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Now 
the  ladies  of  the  club  have  become  so  famous  for  the 
delectable  meals  served,  that  they  have  been  asked 
to  serve  a  banquet  to  the  Associated  Chambers  of 
Commerce  of  this   valley. 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  club  is  bending 
every  energy  to  this  purpose,  they  have  had  the 
pleasure  of  having  some  very  splendid  programs  of 
late. 

On  January  16  "Press  and  Publicity"  was  the  topic, 
and  the  program  was  arranged  by  the  press  commit-

te«,  with  the  district  chairman  of  press,  Mrs.  Leiland 
Atherton   Irish,   as   speaker. 

Very  inspirational  was  the  talk  given  by  Mrs. 
Grace  Widney  Mabee,  national  chairman  of  church 
music,  and  also  district  federation  chairman  of  music, 
who  was  honor  guest  and  speaker  on  February  20. 
She  spoke  especially  of  the  wonderful  messages  con- 
tained in  sacred  music  and  closed  her  talk  with  the 
thought  that  music  is  the  greatest  factor  for  world 
peace.  March  15  was  a  very  happy  occasion  for  our 
club  when  the  District  President,  Mrs.  Charles  H. 
Toll,  was  with  us.  As  is  always  the  case  with  Mrs. 
Toll,  her  talk  was  very  inspirational,  encouraging 
and  uplifting.  Her  theme  was:  "What  is  the  true 
meaning  of  the  woman's  club,  its  place  in  the  world's 
work  and   the   result  of  that  work?" 

All  departments  of  the  club  are  alive  and  very 
active  and  the  year's  work  is  being  very  successfully 
accomplished. 


WOMEN'S  MUSIC  STUDY  CLUB 
OF  LONG  BEACH 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  INDIO 


By  Mrs.  Ray  N.  Nusbaum,  Corresponding  Secretary. 

Reciprocity  Day  was  indeed  a  gala  daj-  for  the 
Woman's  Club  of  Indio. 

Mrs.  Kenneth  D.  Oliver,  our  county  president,  was 
our  guest  of  honor.  Besides  enjoying  her  visit  so- 
cially, her  excellent  talk  gave  us  much  food  for 
thought. 

The  club  is  enjoying  in  full  its  new  club  house, 
for  which  it  waited  so  long  and  patiently,  and  for 
which   it   worked    so   faithfully. 

That  our  club  house  is  also  filling  a  long  felt 
want  in  the  valley,  is  evidenced  by  the  number  of 
organizations  holding  their  meetings  within  its 
walls. 

Our  membership  extends  throughout  Coachella 
Valley,  into  Palm  Springs,  so  some  members  come 
many  miles  to  enjoj'  the  companionship  of  their  club, 
and   help   in    its  functioning. 

We  recently  exchanged  programs  with  the  Satur- 
day Afternoon  Club  of  Banning,  giving  them  a  pro- 
gram of  Hungarian  music.  We  are  looking  forward 
to   a    literary   treat   from   them. 


BIG   PINE   FRIDAY  AFTER- 
NOON STUDY  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  Jessie   Cuddehack,  Press   Chairman. 

Among  the  popular  programs  given  by  this  club 
during  the  year  are  those  of  the  drama  section  under 
the  supervision  of  Mrs.  Helen  Armstrong.  These 
are  scheduled  for  October  26,  January  11,  March  14, 
and  May  9. 

The  last  program  given  under  this  section  was  that 
of   modern   drama,   in   charge   of   Mrs.    Delight  Allen. 

Mrs.  Allen  delineated  three  interesting  and  enter- 
taining one-act  modern  plays  which  illustrated  the 
major  qualities  that  the  modern  little  theater  move- 
ment has  drawn  from  our  old  Greek  dramas. 

These  plays  were  cleverly  read  by  the  following 
ladies,  who  in  each  case  gave  a  most  satisfactory 
rendition: 

"Pat  and  the  Law,"  was  read  by  Mrs.  Charles 
Reeves,  whose  voice  possesses  many  tones  of  sympa- 
thetic quality,   a  voice  one  would   love  to  hear  again. 

"In  the  Darkness,"  a  sombre  play  which  moves 
with  the  ponderousness  of  Greek  drama,  was  ren- 
dered by  Mrs.  Altha  Summers,  whose  poise  of  voice 
and  manner  is  very  well  suited  to  the  deeper  char- 
acterization   of    dramatic   expression. 

"The  Exchange,"  a  satire,  which  Mrs.  Zetta  Joseph 
read  in  a  sprightly  and  vivacious  manner,  conveyed 
her  keen  and  intelligent  interpretation  of  the  author's 
intention. 


By  Mrs.  John  Spencer. 

A  very  charming  program  was  arranged  for  the 
Reciprocity  Day  of  the  Women's  Music  Study  Club 
of  Long  Beach. 

A  "pageant  of  music  in  California"  showed  the 
progress  from  the  time  of  the  Indian  and  Spaniard 
to  the  present  day.  The  costumes  were  especially 
charming. 

Mrs.  O.  G.  Hinshaw,  as  the  spirit  of  California, 
introduced  the  various  periods.  The  chairman  for 
the  Indian  period  was  Mrs.  Berniece  Powell-Wight, 
Mrs.  Wallace  Matthie  was  in  charge  of  the  Spanish 
period  and  the  modern  setting  had  been  arranged 
by  Mrs.  Asa  Foster.  The  whole  program  was  under 
the  supervision  of  Mrs.  L.  F.  Frey,  chairman  of  the 
program  committee.  Refreshments  were  served  and 
a  delightful  afternoon  was  enjoyed. 

The  program  given  on  March  12  was  on  "classics." 
Mrs.  Clara  H.  Scott  was  leader  for  the  afternoon 
and  a  program  very  creditably  performed  was  ren- 
dered.    Mrs.  Fred   S.  James  was  hostess.

of  the  club  is  recreation  and  philanthropy. 

On  Saturday  afternoon,  March  15,  a  tea  was  given 
at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Pearson  Rolfe^  when  the  by-laws 
were  adopted  and  new  members  were  made  welcome. 

Songs,  ukelele  and  piano  solos,  besides  dancing, 
helped   make   it   a   very   happy  occasion. 

John  S.  McGroarty  was  speaker  for  the  evening. 
In  his  inimitable  manner  he  held  the  attention  of  the 
large  audience  while  he  told  of  the  California  Mis- 
sions. 

The  club  has  taken  three  memberships  in  the  Gol- 
den Scroll,  in  which  Mr.  McGroarty  is  vitally  inter- 
ested, in  memory  of  Mrs.  Orinda  E.  McCumber,  Mrs. 
Alice   Elizabeth    Metcalf    and    little    Kennett   Metcalf. 

The  club  held  a  masquerade  party  the  evening  of 
March   28. 

An  open  meeting  of  the  club  was  held  on  the  eve- 
ning of  March  13,  with  music  furnished  through  the 
courtesy  of  the  Southern  California  Music  Company. 
M.  W.  Deveraux  presided  at  the  Ampico,  and  Earle 
Meeker,   baritone,   sang   a   number   of   solos. 

The  Art  Section,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  O.  H. 
Ponder,   is   studying   California   paintings. 

A  visit  is  planned  for  March  24  to  the  studios  of 
Mrs.  Nell  Brooker  Mayhew  of  Highland  Park. 

At  the  meeting  March  28,  Mrs.  Frederick  Sears 
of  Pasadena  spoke.  There  was  also  a  fashion  show 
presented  by  the  courtesy  of  Bullock's,  of  Los  Angeles. 


BLOOMINGTON  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 


TUJUNGA  WOMAN'S   CLUB 


By  Mrs.  L.  May  Dean,  Press  Chairman. 

Tujunga's  Woman's  Club  numbers  over  one  hun- 
dred live  workers,  who  are  at  present  devoting  all 
their  time  and  energies  in  getting  ready  to  build  the 
first  unit  of  a  new  club  house.  The  lot  was  do- 
nated to  them  by  M.  V.  Hartranft,  and  considerable 
work  has  been  done  on  the  lot  preparatory  to  build- 
ing. Plans  have  been  drawn  ready  to  submit  to  the 
board  for  approval.  Money  has  been  raised  in  var- 
ious ways  until  more  than  $1,000  is  available  for 
the  work.  The  club  has  taken  up  the  history  of 
California  and  its  missions  for  the  year's  work,  be- 
sides lectures  on  music,  art  and  civics.  It  was  also 
instrumental  in  keeping  the  post  office  in  the  center 
of  the  town,   when   politicians   tried   to   move   it. 

As  a  whole  we  are  well  pleased  with  the  work  of 
the  year  so  far,  and  with  the  quota  of  energetic 
workers  we  have  hope  to  be  able  to  do  greater  things 
in  the  future. 


WOMAN'S  IMPROVEMENT 
CLUB   OF   LA  HABRA 


By  Mary  F.  Davis,  Press  Chairman. 

Dedicating  its  new  club  house  in  February,  the 
Woman's  Improvement  Club  of  La  Habra  has  reached 
the  goal  striven  for  since  1918.  The  building,  of 
mission  style,  has  an  auditorium,  stage,  dressing 
rooms,  kitchen  offices.  It  has  spacious  grounds.  The 
whole  is  valued  at  $20,000,  three-fourths  of  which 
is   clear. 

This  club  was  organized  twenty-five  years  ago  by 
a  few  ranch  wives  to  tighten  the  strings  of  friendli- 
ness through  the  scattered  settlement.  Mutual  bene- 
fit broadened  to  civic  improvement  as  the  town  grew. 
Today  the  club  is  influential  toward  La  Habra's  best 
interests.     The   membership    is    128. 

In  1914  the  club  was  federated.  It  was  incorpo- 
rated in  1918.  The  greater  portion  of  the  building 
fund  was  secured  by  the  gift  of  the  site  and  com- 
mission  from   lot  sales  Jn  the  tract  around   it. 


By  Grace  Shepard  Newman,  Corresponding  Secretary. 

Comprising  but  thirty-odd  members,  in  a  small  and 
quiet  agricultural  community,  yet  duly  federated  with 
county,  district  and  state,  the  Bloomington  Woman's 
Club  has  done  much  in  the  four  years  of  its  existence 
to  enrich  the  outlook  of  its  members  and  broaden  the 
field  of  their  activities. 

A  county  president,  a  member  of  a  biennial  com- 
mittee and  a  district  chairman  are  numbered  among 
its  members. 

Though  not  much  is  done  in  the  way  of  depart- 
mental work,  a  flourishing  social  service  committee 
has  no  little  accomplishment  to  its  credit;  and  a  small 
but  devoted  Shakespeare  section  is  breaking  trail 
toward   intensive  study  in  other  fields. 


SATURDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  FALLBROOK 


By  Mrs.  George  G.  Campbell,  Corresponding  Sec'ty. 

Several  years  ago  the  Fallbrook  Woman's  Saturday 
Afternoon  Club  instituted  a  community  supper  and 
entertainment  in  connection  with  their  annual  Christ- 
mas Bazaar.  The  supper  and  entertainment  proved 
so  successful  socially  that  the  club  members  decided 
to  make  them  quarterly  affairs  instead  of  annual  ones. 
The  first  of  the  1924  series  was  held  on  February 
23. 

The  Methodist  Ladies'  Aid  Society,  the  Baptist 
Guild,  and  the  Farm  Home  Department  join  with  the 
woman's  club  in  serving  the  cafeteria  supper,  after 
which  the  tables  are  cleared  away  and  an  entertain- 
ment given  by  either  the  grammar  or  high  school 
pupils.  Songs  by  the  high  school  girls  and  an  amus- 
ing playlet  formed  the  entertainment  for  the  Febru- 
ary program. 

The  closer  acquaintance  and  increased  friendliness 
engendered  among  the  women  of  the  different  or- 
ganizations by  working  together,  and  by  the  bringing 
together  of  many  people  around  the  supper  tables 
does  much  to  promote  understanding  and  "the  spirit- 
ual  force"   thereof   in   the   community. 


THE  BALDWIN  PARK 
WOMAN'S   CLUB 


By  Isabel  Culver,  Press  Chairman 
The  Baldwin  Park  Woman's  Club,  besides  paying 
off  five  hundred  dollars  of  its  debt,  has  added  some 
improvements  to  its  charming  little  clubhouse.  So 
the  members  feel  that  this  year  has  really  been  one 
of  accomplishment.  Among  the  improvements,  is  the 
electric  ventilating  system,  which  adds  so  greatly  to 
the  general  comfort  on  warm  nights  and  at  dances, 
the  air  in  the  assembly  hall  being  completely  changed 
every  four  minutes.  Their  reception  room  has  just 
been  artistically  furnished.  And  not  the  least  im- 
provement, is  the  landscape  gardening  of  their 
grounds,  this  work  being  a  generous  gift  from  the 
local  Chamber  of  Commerce. 


TUESDAY  MORNING  CLUB  OF 
LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mrs.  T.  W.  Barton,  Secretary  Pro  Tern 
The  Tuesday  Morning  Club,  although  small  in  num- 
bers, is  a  lively  little  club,  each  member  being  a  live 
wire.    Philanthropy  and  to  be  of  service,  at  any  time, 
to   any  who  need   help,  is  our  motto.     We  make  over

garments,  in  good  condition,  for  the  school  children, 
which  we  send  to  the  Parent  Teachers'  Association, 
knowing  that  for  the  foreign  children,  warm  clothes 
and  good  food  makes  them  better  citizens.  We  make 
layettes  for  the  maternity  cottage,  and  send  a  box 
of  apples  or  oranges  to  the  children  at  the  General 
Hospital,  also  help   the   Disabled  War   Veterans. 


AZUSA  WOiMAN'S  CLUB 


By  Ruby  Lal'erte  Thomson,  Press  Chairman 

In  harmony  with  the  spirit  of  patriotic  endeavor 
which  has  pervaded  clubdom  this  spring,  the  Azusa 
Woman's  Club,  under  the  enthusiastic  leadership 
of  Mrs.  B.  F.  Spriggs'  is  specializing  in  applied 
citizenship.  The  community  has  been  divided  in- 
to units,  with  a  registration  committee  from  the 
club  in  charge  of  each,  and  it  is  hoped  that  one 
hundred     per    cent    of    our    women's    votes    will    be 


intelligently  employed  at  the  forthcoming  election. 
Washington's  Birthday  was  most  fittingly  observed 
by  a  delightful  afternoon  tea  given  in  honor  of  the 
Handicap  School  of  Los  Angeles,  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Americanization  Committee,  of  which  Mrs. 
Edwin  Mace  is  chairman.  Two  weeks  later,  a 
studio  tea  was  tendered  the  Azusa  Woman's  Club 
at  the  Handicap  Department  by  pupils  and  graduates 
of  the   school. 

The  program  and  exhibits  on  this  occasion  proved 
a  distinct  revelation  as  to  the  possibilities  of  this 
department,  unfortunates  made  over  into  wage-earners, 
the  hopeless  given  a  new  outlook  on  life,  foreign 
illiterates  transformed  into  patriotic  Americans — all 
placed  definitely  in  the  producers'  class.  The  Azusa 
Woman's  Club  feels  that,  surely,  this  business  of 
turning  liabilities  into  assets  is  one  of  the  most  worth- 
while and  sound  business  propositions  the  world  can 
ever  know,  and  that  it  is  worthy  the  support  of  every 
woman's   club.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


VAN   NUYS   WOMAN'S    CLUB 


By   Elizabeth    C.    Sc/ioeffel,   Press    Chairman. 

In  order*  to  fill  a  need  in  a  rapidly  growing  com- 
munity, the  Van  Nuys  Woman's  Club  was  organized 
in  the  spring  of  1912.  From  a  handful  of  earnest 
workers  the  club  has  grown  to  have  a  membership 
of   about   three   hundred. 

From  its  inception  the  various  committees  have  be- 
lieved that  the  club  had  a  dual  service  to  perform — 
to  provide  for  the  social  and  cultural  progress  of  its 
members  and  to  assist  in  solving  the  civic  questions 
pertaining  to  the  growth  of  the  community.  This 
has  been  accomplished  through  co-operation  with  the 
local  Chamber  of  Commerce,  the  Merchant's  Asso- 
ciation, the  Parent-Teacher  Organizations  and  the 
Social   Welfare  Workers. 

The  club  motto,  "Strength  United  is  Stronger,"  has 
been  amply  verified,  for  through  the  united  efforts 
of  all,  the  club  debt  has  been  paid  off  this  year  and  a 
substantial  sum  has  been  realized  for  a  new  Knabe 
piano. 

The  citizenship  committee  has  done  a  notable  work 
in  that  it  organized  an  Americanization  class  that  is 
studying  citizenship  in  the  night  school.  This  com- 
mittee has  expanded  the  scope  of  its  work  and  has 
taken  an  active  part  in  sponsoring  a  young  peoples' 
Coming  of  Age  Club,  in  order  to  foster  a  spirit  of 
democracy  from  the  time  a  young  man  or  woman 
leaves  high  school  until  he  or  she  assumes  the  re- 
sponsibility of   a   well-instructed   citizen. 

To  meet  an  urgent  demand,  the  club  has  donated 
the  use  of  its  rooms  to  the  upper  divisions  of  the 
high  school  and  once  a  month  a  carefully  supervised 
dancing  party  is  provided  for  these  students  under 
the  chaperonage  of  the  club  and  the  faculty  of  the 
high   school.

Recently  the  club  inaugurated  an  art  salon  in 
which  all  manifested  an  appreciattive  interest  in  the 
creation  of  a  fund  that  would  be  used  as  a  purchase 
price  for  two  of  Hans  Puthuff's  canvases.  This  is  to 
be  a  nucleus  for  a  club  art  gallery  of  famous  paint- 
ings. 

The  club,  under  the  kindly  and  progressive  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  Charles  Steere,  has  been  the  rallying 
center  for  all  that  is  wholesome  and  beneficial  for 
the  social  and  intellectual  influence  in  the  community. 

Much  has  been  done,  much  remains  to  be  accomp-

THE   FRIDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB   OF   ONTARIO 


By  Grace  Gilman,  President 
Twenty-eight  years  ago,  on  the  29th  of  February, 
the  Friday  Afternoon  Club  was  organized.  The  char- 
ter members  were  women  whose  widely  scattered 
homes  made  them  feel  the  need  of  some  organized 
time  and  place  of  meeting  for  social  and  study  hours. 
This  year  marked  the  seventh  birthday  (being  a 
leap-year  child)  and  the  customary  delightful  birth- 
day party  was  held  in  Claremont  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
B.  A.  Woodford,  one  of  the  two  remaining  charter 
members,  the  other  being  Mrs.  Jeflferson  Taylor.  The 
club  was  richly  entertained  by  a  critical  analysis  of 
Walpole's  Cathedral  by  Miss  Lois  Avery,  and  by 
piano   selections  by  Miss   Mary  Hall. 


THE 


ATASCADERO  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 


By  M.  A.   Travis,  Press  Chairman 

The  Atascadero  Woman's  Club  has  an  unusually 
energetic  and  talented  Art  Department  this  year,  un- 
der whose  auspices  most  successful  sketching  trips 
have  been  conducted  at  regular  intervals,  and  a  lot 
of  good  oil  and  water  color  work  done.  At  the  county 
convention  last  month,  they  had  a  most  attractive  and 
creditable  art  exhibit,  showing  some  of  the  work  they 
had  been  doing. 

The  club  had  had  some  very  interesting  programs 
this  year,  of  which  a  unique  one  was  California  Day, 
when  a  number  of  famous  women  in  California  his- 
tory and  legend  were  impersonated  by  club  members, 
dressed  in  appropriate  costumes,  who  related,  in  the 
first  person,  interesting  stories  connected  with  their 
lives.  A  number  of  poems  by  California  poets  were 
read,  also,  and  theje  were  several  musical  selections 
by  California  composers. 

In  addition  to  its  club  programs,  the  Atascadero 
club  has  given  the  community  a  number  of  high-grade, 
worth-while  entertainments  and  one  or  two  good  pic- 
tures, like  "Scaramouche",  that  were  too  expensive  for 
the  local  theater  to  put  on,  as  well  as  an  unusually 
fine  loan  exhibit  of  antiques   and  curios. 

They  have  also  made  themselves  100  per  cent  in 
registration,  and  have  sent  in  their  full  quota  for  the 
biennial  expenses. 


MARY  WILLIAMS  CLUB  OF 
AVALON 


By  Mrs.  F.  H.  Oit,  Press  Crairman 
The  Mary  Williams  Club  held  its  regular  bi-month- 
ly meeting  Thursday  afternoon,  March  13,  at  the  For- 
resters Inn  club  room.  Mrs.  Carl  W.  Carson  read  a 
paper  on  "The  South  and  Its  Problems,"  which  was 
illustrated  with  stereopticon  views  by  Rev.  La  Rue 
Watson,  of  the  Congregational  Church.  There  was 
a   good    attendance   to   enjoy   the   interesting  program.

PERRIS   WOMAN'S    CLUB 


By  Mrs.  M.  W.  Akin,  Press  Chairman 

A  number  of  years  ago  a  small  group  of  women 
conceived  the  idea  of  organizing  a  woman's  club 
which  would  be  of  mutual  benefit  and  a  power  for 
good  in  the  community.  From  its  organization  until 
1923  the  meetings  have  been  held  in  leased  buildings. 
At  that  time  the  ambitious  women  determined  to  own 
a  home  of  their  own.  Plans  were  immediately  formu- 
lated to  purchase  a  lot  and  erect  a  building.  A  sight- 
ly location  was  selected,  the  lot  secured  and  a  small 
building  bought,  which  was  moved  some  distance  and 
placed  on  the  ground  where  it  now  stands.  It  was 
necessary  to  remodel  and  renovate  the  entire  struc- 
ture. It  is  not  yet  finished,  but  presents  a  very 
creditable  appearance  and  the  club  has  been  holding 
its  meetings  under  its  own  roof  for  the  past  several 
months,  A  committee  has  been  appointed  to  beautify 
the  grounds,  and  the  work  of  planting  trees,  flowers 
and  shrubbery  will  be  commenced  immediately.  Meet- 
ings are  held  every  two  weeks,  and  good  programs  are 
given.  Often  outside  speakers  are  secured  and  the 
meetings  are  educational  and  inspiring.  The  club  is 
always  enthusiastic  and  ready  to  co-operate  in  any 
good  work,  and  its  aid  is  often  sought  in  civic  im- 
provement. 

The  club  this  year  is  under  the  able  leadership  of 
Mrs.  C.  L.  Cunningham,  whose  aim  is  to  make  the 
organization  one  for  the  development  of  the  philan- 
thropic, literary  and  social  life  of  the  members. 

Luncheons  and  parties  are  often  given,  which  pro- 
vide dejightful  entertainment  and  adds  to  the  treas- 
ury. At  the  close  of  every  regular  meeting  refresh- 
ments are  served  by  the  hostess  for  the  day  and  a 
pleasant  social  hour  enjoyed. 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Perris  hopes  to  realize  in  the 
not  distant  future  its  plans  for  a  larger  and  more 
commodious  home,  that  will  better  serve  the  needs 
of  this  growing  community. 


THE  WOMAN'S   CLUB 
WILMINGTON 


OF 


By  Mrs.  Montana  Fuller,  President 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Wilmington  has  had  a  very 
interesting  and  successful  year.  We  have  very  near- 
ly doubled  our  membership,  and  friendliness  has  been 
very  apparent.  Our  card  parties  add  very  much  in 
getting  together  socially  and  also  help  materially  our 
building  fund,  as  like  many  others  we  are  planning 
on   having  our  own  club  home  by,  next  year.      Among 


other  ways  of  raising  money,  the  club  will  give  a  real 
Spanish  dinner  next  month,  A  musical  and  many 
other  interesting  events  are  under  way,  all  for  the 
club  house  fund.  Our  club  programs  on  civics,  philan- 
thropy and  art  have  been  exceptionally  fine.  We  are 
looking  forward  to  great  advancement  in  the  next 
two  months. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  YUCAIFA 


By  Mrs.  F.   ff^.  Fisher,  President 

Greetings  from  the  Woman's  Club  of  Yucaipa. 

We  are  proud  to  be  club  women  and  to  have  a  part, 
however  small,  in  the  advancement  and  uplift  of 
womanhood. 

Though  less  than  eight  years  old  we  boast  of  a  mem- 
bership of  almost  one  hundred  and  are  happy  in  our 
n«w  $15,000  club  house,  which  is  thrown  open  to  the 
public  many  times  for  gatherings  social,  civic  and  re- 
ligious. 

As  a  club  we  are  pushing  a  public  sanitary  camp 
ground,  have  been  instrumental  in  placing  domestic 
science  in  our  grammar  school  and  paying  half  the 
salary  of  the  teacher. 

During  June  the  club  keeps  open  house  to  the  visi- 
tors throughout  Cherry  Week,  when  thousands  visit 
the  Yucaipa  Valley, 

In  October  we  put  on  an  annual  Apple  Festival  last- 
ing two  and  three  days,  so  altogether  we  are  a  busy 
organization  and  just  now  doubly  so  in  anticipation 
of  the  biennial  in  June.  All  success  to  The  Club- 
woman. 


THE   FRIDAY  CLUB  OF  NA- 
TIONAL   CITY 


By   Mrs.   E.    Thelen,  Press    Chairman 

The  Friday  Club  of  National  City,  the  oldest  San 
Diego  County  club,  is  one  of  the  few  remaining  old- 
fashioned   parlor  clubs. 

Its  list  of  twenty  active  members  is  subject  to  little 
change.  Occasionally,  some  member  moves  away  or 
some  elderly  woman  becomes  an  associate  member, 
making  room  for  a  younger  woman.  Always,  the 
Friday  Club  meetings   are  gatherings  of  friends. 

The  year-books  show  that  a  great  diversity  of  sub- 
jects have  been  discussed,  religion  and  politics  alone 
being  barred.  This  year,  topics  chosen  have  been 
mostly   the   newest   inventions    and    trends   of   thought. 

Three  events  annually  include  the  husbands:  the 
dinner,  high-jinks  and  picnic.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  ESCONDIDO  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 


RESEDA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  Catherine  M.  Bloom,  Corresponding  Secretary 

The  Escondido  Woman's  Club,  which  has  just 
joined  the  General  Federation,  had  on  March  10  a 
chairman   of   the   Federation   speak   to   them. 

Mrs.  Robert  J.  Burdette  was  the  speaker,  and  her 
visit  to  Escondido  was  of  great  interest  to  club  wom- 
en and  to  Escondido  citizens  generally,  not  only  be- 
cause Mrs.  Burdette  is  a  national  figure  in  the  club 
world,  but  because  she  once  lived  in  Escondido. 

As  Mrs.  Burdette  stepped  on  the  stage  she  was 
greeted  by  a  welcoming  applause.  In  a  very  eloquent 
and  pleasing  manner  the  speaker  gave  an  outline  of 
the  work  which  the  Federation  has  planned  for  its 
members.  The  importance  of  women  working  for 
world  peace,  for  the  restriction  of  the  sale  of  narcotics 
to  their  legitimate  use  in  medicine,  for  a  uniform  mar- 
riage and  divorce  law,  for  better  homes  were  a  few 
of  the  subjects  stressed  by  Mrs.  Burdette. 

An  informal  reception  followed  Mrs.  Burdette's 
talk. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  TOR- 
RANCE 


By  Winifred  Barnard,  Press  Chairman 

When  one  plans  a  new  home,  it  is  with  an  admix- 
ture of  pleasurable  excitement,  anticipation  and  a 
certain  amount  of  worry.  This  is  applicable  to  the 
Woman's  Club  of  Torrance.  Among  its  numerous  in- 
terests, the  club  house  and  the  biennial  hold  the  most 
prominent  places   this  year. 

The  building  committee,  with  the  help  of  the  execu- 
tive board,  have  proceeded  in  a  very  careful  business- 
like manner.  First,  questionnaires  were  given  to  each 
club  member,  which  asked  if  she  were  in  favor  of  a 
club  house,  how  many  shares  she  could  buy  at  ten 
dollars  per  share,  how  many  could   she   dispose   of. 

The  return  of  these  questionnaires  was  very  gratify- 
ing, showing  that  the  building  committee  and  the 
board  had  the  loyal  support  of  the  entire  club,  finan- 
cially and  otherwise. 

Since  then  a  corporation  has  been  started,  a  lot  in 
a  beautiful  location  purchased,  and  architects  and 
contractors  are  being  consulted.  The  Business  Men's 
Association  and  two  other  large  interests  have  given 
their   hearty   co-operation    and    support. 

Throughout  all  the  club  year  the  Woman's  Club  of 
Torrance  has  had  the  most  interesting  and  helpful 
speakers  at  its  meetings.  The  dearly  loved  District 
President,  Mrs.  Toll,  and  Mrs.  Frank  Sammons,  Past 
President  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Torrance,  now 
chairman  of  Indian  Welfare  for  the  district,  being 
foremost  among  them. 


RIALTO  WOMAN'S   CLUB 


The  work  of  the  Rialto  Woman's  Club  during  the 
past  year  has  been  along  the  line  of  social  service  and 
civic  betterment.  A  room  has  been  furnished  at  the 
Monta  Vista  Home,  contributions  made  to  Disabled 
Veterans'  Government  Hospital  and  aid  given  in  in- 
dividual cases  where  aid  was  badly  needed.  During 
a  typhoid  epidemic  a  clean  up  campaign  was  insti- 
tuted and  help  furnished  the  unfortunate  victims. 

The  Rialto  Woman's  Club  is  looking  forward  to 
the  erection  of  a  permanent  home  and  with  better 
equipment  and  renewed  enthusiasm  hopes  to  extend 
its  work  for  the  betterment  of  the  community  and  the 
benefit  of  its  members. 


By.  Mrs.  E.  R.  Beaver,  President 

The  beginning  of  a  club  home  has  been  the  aim  of 
the  Reseda  Woman's  Club  this  year. 

The  site  was  selected  last  year,  but  it  was  necessary 
for  the  club  to  incorporate.  We  received  our  incor- 
poration papers  on  February  8,  1924. 

The  building  committee  has  visited  many  club 
homes  and  have  embodied  all  the  good  things  in  a 
fine  plan  for  our  home. 

This  year  our  dues  were  raised  from  $2.50  to  $5.00. 
We  lost  some  members,  but  the  majority  felt  the  dues 
of  the  club  must  pay  the  current  expenses. 

All  funds  made  by  the  entertainments  given  by  our 
busy  ways  and  means  committee  have  gone  into  the 
building  fund. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  the  coming  biennial, 
especially  June  7,  when  the  San  Fernando  Valley  Clubs 
will  entertain  three  hundred  visiting  ladies  with  a 
trip  through  our  valley,  a  visit  and  lunch  at  the  Mis- 
sion Gardens.  It  is  our  privilege  to  be  one  of  these 
clubs. 


THE   SAN  DIEGO   BUSINESS 

AND  PROFESSIONAL 

WOMEN'S  CLUB 


By  Ruth  H.  Campbell,  Chairman  of  Publicity 

The  San  Diego  Business  and  Professional  Women's 
Club  recently  celebrated  its  seventh  birthday.  Or- 
ganized with  a  charter  membership  of  25,  it  now 
numbers  170,  representing  a  variety  of  occupations. 
The  members  meet  once  a  week,  having  alternate 
luncheons  and  dinners,  with  interesting  programs  on 
civic  and  social  welfare,  the  arts,  travel,  and  prac- 
tical business  subjects.  Card  parties,  picnics,  boat 
rides  and  back  country  trips  furnish  much  needed 
recreation   for  the  members. 

The  club  maintains  a  Vocational  Placement  Bureau, 
which  is  proving  valuable  to  the  woman  in  need  of  a 
position  best  suited  to  her  qualifications  and  the  em- 
ployer in  search  of  just  the  person  he  needs.  Much 
civic  and  social  welfare  work  has  been  accomplished, 
particularly  for  the  soldiers,  sailors  and  nurses  at  the 
local  government  camps   and  hospitals. 

There  is  published  monthly  a  little  paper  full  of 
club  activities  and  news  of  members  called  "The 
Mop"    (Monthly   Operations   Program). 

Miss  Annette  Allen,  chief  clerk  of  the  Spreckels 
Companies,    is   president. 


THE  WEDNESDAY   CLUB   OF 
RIVERSIDE 


By  Helen  fVinder,  Vice-President 

The  Wednesday  Club  of  Riverside  is  a  small  or- 
ganization whose  membership  is  limited  to  seventy- 
five.  Meetings  are  held  in  the  homes  of  its  members, 
making  sociability  the  outstanding  feature.  The  pro- 
gram for  the  year  provides  for  two  meetings  each 
month.  One  meeting  is  purely  social,  cards  or  fancy- 
work  being  enjoyed.  The  other  meeting  is  provided 
with  programs  of  vaied  interest,  such  as  education, 
music,  travel  and  book  reviews.  Community  singing 
of  familiar  songs  is  then  followed  by  tea  and  a  social 
hour. 

While  the  Wednesday  Club  is  decidedly  interested 
in  many  vital  questions  of  the  day,  the  policy  of  the 
club  has  been  to  not  sponsor  any  activity  to  such 
causes  under  the  club  name.

SIERRA   MADRE   WOMAN'S 
CLUB 


By  Cora  F.  Carpenter,  Press  Chairman 

Greatly  increased  membership  has  made  many 
things  possible  at  the  Sierra  Madre  Woman's  Club, 
and  the  outstanding  feature  of  the  year's  work  has 
been  the  building  of  an  addition  to  the  club  house — a 
Wistaria  Room  which  includes  a  "Children's  Corner" 
dedicated  to  the  club's  president  emeritus,  Caroline 
Lincoln  Osgood. 

Literary  and  music  sections  have  been  established, 
a  Parliamentary  Law  Class  is  being  trained,  the  Art 
Section  has  been  very  active,  bringing  many  exhibits 
to  us  during  the  year  and  splendid  work  is  being  done 
in  the  Drama  department.  A  Shakespearean  pageant 
will  be  given  by  the  members  of  this  section  at  Glen- 
dale,  April  9. 

Following  suggestions  made  by  district  federation 
chairmen  the  club  adopted  an  emblematic  flower,  and 
the  attractive  wistaria  stationery  was  prepared  for 
distribution.  It  is  proving  an  advertising  medium 
for  the  town  as  well  as  for  the  club. 

March  13  to  28  finds  our  members  busy  at  the  now 
famous  wistaria  vine,  where  attractive  booths  for  the 
sale  of  cooked  food,  fancy  goods  and  pictures  have 
been  prepared.  Luncheons  and  teas  are  being  served 
each  day,  the  proceeds  to  help  pay  off  the  building 
indebtedness.

PACIFIC  BEACH   READING 
CLUB 


By  Mrs.  Lucy  Woodviard 
The  Pacific  Beach  Reading  Club  is  enjoying  a 
satisfactory  year,  with  an  increase  in  membership  and 
especially  interesting  program.  Various  chairmen  of 
departments  in  the  County  Federation  and  other  men 
and  women  of  note  have  come  and  brought  to  us  in- 
spiring and  helpful  messages  from  their  special  lines 
of  activity.  This  in  addition  to  well  prepared  papers 
by  our  own  members  on  art,  current  events,  etc.  We 
have  followed  our  leader  for  the  day  to  South  Amer- 
ica, and  even  so  far  as  China  and  the  Virgin  Islands, 
gaining  much  valuable  information  about  these  coun- 
tries. We  look  forward  to  interesting  talks  on  Legis- 
lation, Country  Lif-e  and   Domestic  Science.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


ZELZAH  WOMAN'S  CLUB 


By  Mrs.   Sue   R.   Jones,  Press    Cliainnan 

Tuesday  evening,  March  11,  was  for  the  husbands 
of  the  Zelzah  Woman's  Club  a  happy  event.  The 
women  entertained  them  with  a  chicken  pie  dinner. 
After  dinner  the  men  were  allowed  to  choose  their 
own    form    of    amusement. 

The  annual  club  election  will  be  held  at  the  regu- 
lar meeting  on  April  1.  A  new  president  has  to  be 
found  to  take  the  place  of  oiir  retiring  president,  Mrs. 
E.  L.  Bennett,  who  has  so  faithfully  performed  the 
duties  of  her  office  for  the  past  two  years.  During  her 
first  term  the  club  debt  was  paid  off.  This  year  Mrs. 
Bennett  has  been  working  on  plans  to  enlarge  the 
club-house  to  meet  the  growing  needs  of  the  club. 

Annual  Hi-Jinks  Day  is  to  be  held  on  April  15. 
Man}'  novel  and  interesting  stunts  are  to  be  presented 
through  the  untiring  work  of  Mrs.  Ray  Smith,  our  en- 
tertainment chairman. 

Plans  are  being  made  to  have  a  San  Fernando  Val- 
ley Day  during  the  biennial  convention  in  June. 
Busses  will  be  provided  to  show  the  visiting  delegates 
•around  the  valley.  They  will  be  taken  to  the  old  San 
Fernando  Mission  and  treated  to  a  typical  California 
dinner.  Zelzah  with  the  other  clubs  of  the  valley  will 
do  her  part  to  make  the  visit  of  the  delegates  one 
which  they  will  remember. 


THURSDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF   GLENDALE 


By  Mrs.  John   tV .  Sliarpe,  Press  Chairman 

The  Thursday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glendale  held  the 
regular  social  meeting  for  the  month  of  March  at  the 
home  of  Mrs.  A.  L.  Bancroft,  1423  South  Brand  Boule- 
vard. Mrs.  Helen  Graham  of  Los  Angeles,  speaker 
of  the  afternoon,  gave  a  talk  on  "The  Home  of  To- 
day and  Tomorrow,"  speaking  in  particular  of  the 
use  of  electricity  as  a  means  of  the  emancipation  of 
the  woman  of  today  from  the  drudgery  attached  to 
ohd-time  ways  of  housekeeping.  A  splendid  report 
was  turned  in  by  the  Glendale  Auxiliary  of  the  Chil- 
dren's Hospital,  which  has  been  organized  and  is 
sponsored  by  the  club.  In  addition  to  generous  quan- 
tities of  home-canned  fruit  and  a  surprisingly  large 
number  of  finished  garments  that  have  been  sent  in 
to  the  Hospital,  the  auxiliary  also  reports  that  a  Glen- 
dale crib  has  been  installed  for  which  they  will  be 
responsible  for  support. 

The   Arts  and   Crafts  Section,  newly  organized  this 


year,  held  a  meeting  March  18  in  the  parlors  of  the 
South  Glendale  Presbyterian  Church.  Officers  and 
members  of  this  club  are  to  be  assisting  hostesses  in 
providing  entertainment  for  the  many  delegates  who 
will  visit  the  city  for  the  district  convention  to  be  held 
April  8,  9  and  10. 


ALHAMBRA    WEDNESDAY 
AFTERNOON  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  G.  E.  Thomas,  Press  Chairman 

Among  the  outstanding  community  activities  of  our 
club  are  making  Christmas  gifts  to  the  elderly  depend- 
ent people  at  the  County  Farm,  and  the  World  War 
veterans  at  Sawtelle  hospital,  fruits  and  jellies  for  the 
Associated  Charities,  Easter  donations  of  eggs  to  the 
Big  Sisters'  League,  assistance  to  the  Alhambra  Com- 
munity Sing  Association,  endorsement  and  approval 
of  many  bills  for  public  benefit  before  the  State  Legis- 
lature and  Congress,  and  private  subscription  by  mem- 
bers to  the  building  fund  of  the  new  Mission  Play- 
house in  San  Gabriel. 

In  the  more  personal  matters  relating  to  the  club 
welfare  may  be  mentioned  the  forming  of  a  club 
chorus  which  may  have  received  its  inspiration  from 
the   community  sing  project. 

In  addition  to  the  regular  fortnightly  meeting,  an 
afternoon  has  been  set  aside  for  a  resume  of  current 
events,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Mary  M.  Coman 
of  the  Shakespeare   Club  of   Pasadena. 

To  add  to  the  club  finances  home  talent  vaudeville 
programs  have  been  given,  and  theatre  benefits  ar- 
ranged for. 


THURSDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mrs.  Pearle  Knorr,  President 

The  Los  Angeles  Thursday  Afternoon  Club,  al- 
though much  interested  in  all  departments  of  Federa- 
tion work,  decided  this  year  to  confine  its  work  to 
one  department,  feeling  that  so  small  a  club  would  get 
better  results  from  united  work  in  one  direction  than 
from   a   divided   effort   in   many   directions. 

W  have  taken  the  study  of  History  and  Landmarks, 
believing  that  our  members  will  better  enjoy  this 
beautiful  and  romantic  state  of  ours.  We  have  started 
a  scrap  book  of  historical  facts  gathered  by  the  mem- 
bers, intending  to  keep  adding  to  it  in  the  future.  His- 
torical papers  are  given  at  each  meeting.

THE    LINCOLN    STUDY    CLUB 
OF  LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mrs.    H^aller  B.    Clausen,  Press   Chairman 
"I   will   stuiiy   and   prepare   myself   and 
some   day   my   chance   may   come." 

Under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  John  M.  Cage,  the 
Lincoln  Study  Club  was  organized  in  1921,  and  ad- 
mitted to  the  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  May  1, 
1923.  Though  but  a  small  club  the  members  are  all 
active  in  their  study  and  in  the  work  of  the  Federa- 
tion. Weekly  meetings  are  held  at  the  homes  of  the 
members,  this  year's  program  embracing  the  study  of 
English  history  and  book  reviews.  Last  year  Ameri- 
can history  and  literature  were  studied.  Each  session 
is  opened  with  a  roll  call  by  the  members  on  events, 
characters  or  quotations  from  the  period  under  study 
of  the  day;  two  main  papers  by  members;  a  round 
table  consisting  of  five  questions  of  the  history  of  Eng- 
land; and  an  English  lesson  under  the  instruction  of 
Fannie  Kendig,   English  teacher. 

The  present  officers  are  Mrs.  John  M.  Cage,  presi- 
dent; Mrs.  Homer  Spiers,  vice-president;  Mrs.  Fred 
B.  Cutshall,  secretary-treasurer;  Mrs.  C.  B.  Lang, 
corresponding  secretary. 


ARCADIA  WOMAN'S   CLUB 


By  Myra  IVUklnson,  Press  Chairman 

Various  schemes  for  raising  money  for  the  club 
house  fund  are  engaging  the  attention  of  Arcadia  club 
women  at  present,  among  the  most  popular  of  these 
being  the  compilation  of  a  cook  book  which  will  be 
placed  on  sale  within  the  next  few  weeks.  Tested 
recipes  only  will  be  accepted  for  this  cooking  manual. 
Mrs.  Maye  S.  Dunham  is  in  charge  of  the  cook  book 
committee. 

Another  plan  which  is  proving  popular  is  the  series 
of  card  parties  and  supper  dances  being  given  under 
the  direction  of  Mrs.  A.  Hoegee,  building  fund  chair- 
man. 

Perhaps  the  most  pretentious  of  club  enterprises  ih 
Arcadia  of  recent  date  was  the  formation  of  a  Wom- 
an's Choral  Club,  organized  several  months  ago  under 
the  supervision  of  Mrs.  O.  E.  Winkler.  A  splendid 
feature  of  this  section  is  offered  in  the  directorship  of 
Madame  Anna  Duzena  Sprotte,  and  Arcadia  has  been 
singularly  fortunate  in  having  secured  the  services  of 
this  internationally  known  leader  and  singer.  The 
first  concert  of  the  chorus  last  week  was  a  pronounced 
success.  Arcadia  club  musical  element  is  replete  with 
excellent  artists,  both  vocal  and  instrumental. 

Election  of  officers  took  place  at  the  regular  meet- 
ing on  March  12.  the  following  women  being  chosen: 
Mrs.  Maye  S.  Dunham,  president;  Mrs.  Blanche 
Schoaf,  first  vice-president;  Mrs.  A.  Hoegee,  second 
vice-president;  Mrs.  Alfred  N.  Verner,  recording  sec- 
retary; Mrs.  Helen  Shekell,  corresponding  secretary; 
Mrs.  Irene  Eastwood,  treasurer,  and  Mrs.  Nellie  Pack- 
ard, outgoing  president,  federation  secretary.  Mrs. 
Packard  announced  that  other  duties  precluded  her 
candidacy  for   president   another   term.

By  Mrs.  Bessie  Taylor  Best,  President 
The  Bishop  Business  Women's  Club  is  planning  an 
extensive  educational  campaign  for  the  prevention  of 
fire.  March  18  the  members  answered  roll-call  with 
practical  suggestions  for  the  prevention  of  fires  and 
these  suggestions  will  be  used  in  the  local  papers 
from  time  to  time  under  the  head  "An  Ounce  of  Pre-

the  year,  and  extracts  from  these  speeches  will  also  be

the  formation  of  a  volunteer  salvage  corps,  will  put 
on  a  poster  and  essay  contest  at  the  schools,  will  ap-

POMONA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  Kate  Fleming,  Corresponding  Secretary 
The  Pomona  Woman's  Club  was  organized  in  1892 
an'd  is  the  oldest  club  in  the  city.  Its  object  is  the 
mental  and  social  culture  of  its  members,  and  its 
limited  membership  of  thirty-five  has  kept  it  like  one 
big  happy  family.  This  year  we  have  devoted  con- 
siderable time  to  the  study  of  California,  its  indus- 
tries, its  beautiful  canyons  and  legends,  and  its  writers. 
The  club  looks  forward  each  year  to  two  programs 
given  by  two  of  its  honorary  members;  one  a  lecture 
by  Dr.  Phebe  Spalding,  professor  of  English  in  Po- 
mona College,  and  the  other  a  book  review  by  the  city 
librarian.  Miss  S.  M.  Jacobus. 


THE  SAN  DIEGO  CLUB 


By  Mrs.  D.  W.  Hartman 

The  San  Diego  Club,  with  Mrs.  A.  C.  Stuart  as 
president,  is  maintaining  its  usual  high  standing.  The 
weekly  programs  have  featured  widely  diversified  en- 
tertainment. Among  those  addressing  the  club  were 
Josef  Hall,  world  traveler;  Rabbi  Edgar  F.  Magnin, 
brilliant  lecturer;  Emma  Lindsay-Squire,  popular 
magazine  writer;  and  on  Reciprocity  Day,  Mrs.  John 
C.  Urquhart,  president  California  Federation  of  Wom- 
en's Clubs. 

Last  month  the  club  celebrated  its  anniversary  lunch- 
eon, which  was  followed  with  a  reminiscence  program 
that  brought  out  the  many  cultural,  philanthropic  and 
civic  activities  that  the  club  has  sponsored  during  its 
thirty-two  years. 

Alternate  meetings  are  conducted  by  the  depart- 
ments. The  Art  department  has  presented  Maurice 
Braun  and  John  Mitchel.  Talented  musicians  have 
given  a  number  of  musicals.  The  Drama  department, 
outside  of  its  serious  study  of  the  drama  of  different 
countries,  has  staged  several  two  and  three  act 
dramas;  in  the  more  pretentious,  Mrs.  Hosmer  Mc- 
Koon  taking  the  leading  role.  Literature  has  month- 
ly book  reviews  by  members  of  its  department.  It  is 
a  most  popular  section.  The  Travel  department  has 
made  the  Islands  of  the  Pacific  next  door  neighbors. 
The  Arts  and  Crafts  section  holds  bi-weekly  all  day 
meetings,  serving  luncheon  at  the  club  house.  It  is 
the  real  social  side  of  the  club.  The  topic  of  the  Civic 
department  this  year  is  "Know  your  own  community." 
A  flourishing  Girls'  Auxiliary  is  maintained. 

While  the  club  owns  its  club  house,  a  membership 
of  five  hundred  has  demonstrated  the  need  of  more 
room,  and  plans  are  well  under  way  for  an  up-to-date 
structure  that  will  meet  the  requirements  of  the  club's 
growing  popularity. 

ESCHSCHOLTZIA      CHAPTER, 
DAUGHTERS  OF  THE  AMER- 
ICAN   REVOLUTION 


!  Eschscholtzia  Chapter  celebrated  Arbor  Day  by 
planting  ten  olive  trees  in  Memory  Garden,  Brand 
Park,  opposite  Mission  San  Fernando,  in  honor  of 
members  of  the  American  expedition  that  came  over 
the  plains  in  1846  and  took  Los  Angeles  for  the  United 


States.  These  trees  were  dedicated  to  the  memory  of 
Gen.  Stephen  W.  Kearney,  Captains  Johnston,  Moore, 
Emory,  Smith  and  Hensley;  Col.  J.  B.  Stevenson, 
Lieuto-Col.  St.  George  Cooke  and  Lieutenants  David- 
son and  Stoneman.  The  first  tree  was  planted  by  the 
Regent,  Mrs.  M.  M.  Maybury,  followed  by  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  and  Chapter  who  were  introduced 
by  Mrs.  Charles  Wellborn,  historian  of  Eschscholtzia. 
It  was  in  Brand  Park  that  Lieut.-Col.  John  C.  Fre- 
mont and  his  command  of  430  American  soldiers 
camped  the  night  before  the  Treaty  of  Cahuenga  was 
signed.  On  the  morning  of  Jan.  13,  1847,  Fremont  led 
his  men  to  the  rancho  of  Cahuenga  and  there  was  met 
by  Gen.  Andres  Pico.  They  signed  the  Articles  of 
Capitulation  and  California  was  virtually  ceded  to 
the  United  States.  Therefore  Brand  Park  and  the 
Old  Mission  are  places  of  great  interest  to  all  true 
Americans. 


CALIFORNIA   HISTORY   AND 
LANDMARKS   CLUB 


By  Mrs.  A.   S.  C.  Forbes,  President 

This  busy  little  club  planted  two  memory  trees  in 
Brand  Park  on  Arbor  Day.  The  first  one  was  planted 
by  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  a  vice-president  of  the  club, 
and  was  dedicated  to  Commodore  Robert  Field  Stock- 
ton who  brought  the  first  American  flag  to  be  planted 
with  authority  in  the  Plaza  of  Los  Angeles.  Mr. 
Forbes  told  of  the  coming  of  Stockton,  the  hoisting  of 
the  flag,  the  departure,  leaving  Capt.  Gillespie  in 
charge,  his  retreat  and  loss  of  Los  Angeles;  the  re- 
gaining of  the  pueblo  by  the  joint  forces  of  Kearney 
and  Stockton  and  the  second  hoisting  of  the  flag — all 
very  interesting  to  Americans.  The  second  tree  was 
assigned    to    Master    Duvall,    a    direct    descendant   of

WOMAN'S  IMPROVEMENT 
CLUB  OF   RIVERA 

Mrs.  John  Russell,  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Improvement  Club  of  Rivera,  which 
was  organized  July  9,  1912,  with  twenty  charter  mem- 
bers, now  has  an  enrollment  of  sixty-eight  energetic 
and   active  ladies. 

The  motto,  "Deeds,  Not  Words,"  has  been  well  ex- 
emplified this  year  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  E.  D. 
Crouch,   the   president. 

Recently  the  club  purchased  a  building  and  grounds, 
and  has  converted  the  building  into  a  commodious 
clubhouse. 

March  15  was  observed  as  Tree  Planting  Day  when 
four  beautiful  evergreen  trees  were  planted  in  the 
clubhouse  grounds. 

This  club  has  a  committee  which  is  deeply  inter- 
ested in  Child  Welfare  work.  The  chairman  of  this 
committee  often  attends  the  meetings  of  thei  local 
Health  Center  and  is  able  to  report  to  the  club  just 
what  is  being  done  for  children  at  the  clinic. 

Our  club  meets  the  second  and  fourth  Wednesdays 
of  the  month  at  2:30  p.  m. 


YORBA 


LINDA  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 


By  Mrs.  Geo.  T.  Kellogg,  Press  Correspondent 
Interwoven  through  the  history  of  the  Yorba  Linda 
Woman's  Club  and  the  older  Yorba  Linda  Federation 
of  Women,  from  which  it  originated,  is  the  history  of 
Yorba  Linda.  It  is  doubtful  if  any  othej  woman's 
organization  in  the  state  has  worked  more  unitedly 
and  generously  for  the  upbuilding  of  a  community,  and 
certain  it  is,  that  no  other  such  organization  in  the 
state  has  more  loyally  rendered  public  service.  No 
effort  for  progress  has  lacked  the  endorsement  of  the 
club,  and  no  forward  movement  of  moment  in  the 
community  has  been  attempted  without  its  efficient 
co-operation.  Service  has  been  the  keynote  throughout 
the  years  of  successful  endeavor. 

Almost  from  the  beginning,  February  22,  1912,  it 
had  been  the  desire  of  the  club  to  build  a  home  of  its 
own,  and  finally  in  May,  1922,  the  dream  was  realized. 
The  new  club  house  was  dedicated  with  a  memorial 
to  Mrs.  Julia  Vernon,  the  "mother"  of  the  club,  and 
the  entire  community  expressed  its  pride  in  the 
loyal  women,  who  by  their  earnest  efforts  had  made 
the   building   possible. 

The  present  club  year,  under  the  splendid  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  S.  W.  Acker,  has  been  most  successful. 


LOS  ANGELES  TRAVEL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  S.  E.  Pettis,  Press  Chairman 
The  largest  offspring  of  the  Los  Angeles  Travel 
Club  is  the  Good  Will  Circle  recently  organized  to 
work  in  conjunction  with  the  Needlework  Guild,  to 
sew  for  the  needy  and  make  donations  of  clothing 
when  called   upon   in   emergency  cases. 

The  club  has  inaugurated  a  series  of  musicals  and 
"At  Home  Days"  the  last  Thursday  in  each  month 
when  presidents  and  members  of  other  clubs  are  in- 
vited to  share  its  hospitality. 

Members  observed  Arbor  Day  by  planting  a  Cali- 
fornia live  oak  and  laying  a  beautiful  bronze  tablet, 
the  gift  of  Mr.  H.  Hartman  in  the  sunken  garden  at 
Exposition  Park.

HEMET  WOMAN'S   CLUB 


THERAMONA  PAGEANT 


By  Mrs.  J.   Oliver  Percival 

Hemet  club  women  are  now  centering  all  thought 
on  the  forthcoming  Ramona  Pageant,  April  10,  11 
and   12. 

This  pathetic  Indian  romance  from  the  pen  of  Helen 
Hunt  Jackson  is  now,  in  this  beautiful  outdoor  pageant, 
surely   staged   in   the   proper   setting. 

Hqmet,  the  "Heart  of  Ramonaland,"  is  the  home 
of- the  Sobobas  and  the  Coahuillas.  Ramona  Diego, 
the  wife  of  the  real  Allesandro  (Juan)  Diego,  who 
was  shot  in  San  Jacinto  by  Jim  Farrar,  was  from 
the   Coahuilla   tribe. 

Mrs.  Jackson  wrote  most  of  the  story  in  San  Jacinto. 
in  the  home  of  Mrs.  Jordan,  known  as  Aunt  Ri.  This 
character  is  played  by  the  past  president  of  the  Hemet 
Woman's  Club  in  a  most  charming  manner. 

Many  of  the  club  women  take  part  in  the  pageant. 
The  beautiful  Spanish  dresses  worn  In  the  fiesta  scene, 
the  gay  boleros  worn  by  the  men,  and  even  the  clothes 
of  the  Indian  women  are  all  the  handiwork  of  the 
Hemet  Woman's   Club  members. 

Garnet  Holme,  who  in  pageantry  is  to  California, 
what  Percy  MacKaye  is  to  the  east,  has  made  the 
play  such  a  thrilling  drama,  that  one  lives  and 
breathes  the  air  of  old  California.  One  forgets  the 
hardness  of  the  rocks  in  the  "Ramona  Bowl,"  and 
two  hours  pass  as  though  in  a  dream.  One  turns 
away  with  regret  as  the  cast  disappears  and  the  last 
strains  of  La  Golondrina  die  in  the  distance. 


ATHENA  CLUB  OF  BISHOP 


The  Athena  Club  of  Bishop  has  made  an  intensive 
study  of  early  California  history  during  the  past  win- 
ter, taking  a  course  through  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia Extension  Division.  It  has  been  both  interest- 
ing and  instructive. 

Having  completed  the  course  on  the  Spanish  Period, 
we  are  now  studying  the  missions  individually,  tak- 
ing up  their  history,  architecture  and  present  condi- 
tion, supplementing  it  with  readings  and  book  reviews 
on  early  California  life  by  well  known  "writers. 

Athena  is  a  studj'  club  with  a  membership  limited 
to  twenty-five,  meeting  every  Monday  night  at  the 
homes  of  the   members. 


CALIFORNIA   BADGER   CLUB

A  card  party  was  given  in  January  for  the  Ortho- 
pedic Hospital,  the  proceeds  being  used   in  caring  for

a  crippled  boy.  Supplies  also  were  donated  to  the 
Home  for  Crippled  Children.  These  are  only  two 
cases  of  the  philanthropic  work  of  the  club.  Each 
meeting  finds  a  splendid  program,  both  instructive  and 
entertaining.  March  5  was  a  Legislative  program. 
Mr.  Albert  T.  Freeman  spoke  on  "The  Indian  Prob- 
lem from  the  Indian's  Standpoint."  This  splendid 
talk  showed  that  we  must  all  take  more  interest  in 
legislation  for  the  best  interests  of  the  Indian.  Mrs. 
Sammons,  District  Chairman  of  Indian  Welfare,  also 
spoke  on  this  subject.  Miss  Hermine  Schwed  gave 
an  interesting  talk  on  "Better  Americanization."  The 
club  is  giving  a  series  of  card  parties  to  swell  the 
financial  fund  in  order  to  do  their  part  during  the 
biennial. 


POINSETTIA  CLUB  OF 
SATICOY 


By  Mrs.  W.   C.  Schneider 

The  Poinsettia  Club  of  Saticoy  will  celebrate  the 
twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  its  organization  on  June 
11,  192+,  vpith  appropriate  exercises.  Three  of  the 
charter   members    are   still   members. 

Being  the  oldest  club  in  the  community,  it  is  nat- 
urally the  leader  in  works  of  charity  and  improvement. 
To  its  efforts  can  be  credited  the  little  park  at  the 
depot  and  a  branch  library  in  Saticoy;  it  has  assisted 
very  materially  every  year  in  the  support  of  the  only 
Children's  Home  in  the  county  and  has  just  recently 
given  a  benefit  party,  raising  thereby  $22  to  give  to 
the  milk  fund  of  the  Saticoy  schools, 

The  study  programs  for  the  year  have  been  varied, 
including  the  following  subjects:  Hawaiian  Islands, 
most  ably  presented  by  one  of  our  own  members,  Mrs. 
H.  Fi  Clark,  who  had  just  returned  from  a  trip  to  the 
islands;  Indians  of  the  Southwest,  Child  Welfare, 
Boy  and  Girl  Scouts,  Conservation  of  California  Red- 
woods, Wild  Flowers  and  Birds,  a  Longfellow  Day 
and   a  Book  Review.

THE   WOMAN'S  IMPROVE- 
MENT CLUB  OF  CORONA 


By  Mrs.  F.  J.  Mueller,  Press  Cliairman 

On  February  26,  The  Woman's  Improvement  Club 
of  Corona  celebrated  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of 
its  existence  as  a  civic  agency.  One  hundred  and 
thirty  members  gathered  in  the  club  house  at  a  beauti- 
fully appointed  luncheon.  Charter  members  and 
twelve  past  presidents  were  honor  guests. 

Just  after  the  members  were  seated,  a  beautiful 
little  bride  and  handsome  groom  marched  upon  the 
stage  to  the  well-loved  wedding  march,  and  Miss 
Lillian  Lewis,  program  chairman  for  the  day,  ex- 
plained these  as  representing  the  club  and  the  com- 
munity  twenty-five   years    ago. 

Mrs.  W.  H.  Jameson,  one  of  the  founders,  re- 
viewed the  first  ten  years  of  the  club's  activities, 
when  pioneering  in  civic  work  engaged  the  few  mem- 
bers. 

East  past  president  spoke  of  the  most  interesting 
achievements  of  her  administration,  thus  revealing  to 
the  newer  members  of  the  club  the  historical  events 
of   the   club's   existence. 

As  a  fitting  climax  to  this  memorable  occasion,  Miss 
Anna  Piatt,  one  of  the  charter  members,  wheeled  upon 
the  stage  a  beautiful  birthday  cake  and  a  handsome 
silver  teapot,  the  gift  of  the  past  presidents.  Mrs. 
Howard  Glass,  president,  accepted  the  gift  with  a 
clever    speech. 

The  county  president,  Mrs.  H.  E.  DeNyse,  also  a 
guest  of  honor,  brought  an  interesting  message  to  all 
present. 


THE  MOTHER'S  CLUB  OF  SAN 
DIEGO 


By  Mrs.  F.   fV.  Lane,  Secretary 

The  Mothers'  Club  of  San  Diego  is  one  of  the  small 
but  active  clubs  of  the  southern  part  of  the  State.  It 
has  less  than  fifty  members.  It  was  organized  in  1897 
and  federated  in  1900.  It  has  given  to  the  Federation 
a  State  President,  Mrs.  Lillian  Pray-Palmer.  One 
member,  Mrs.  C.  A,  Walton,  is  now  County  Federa- 
tion Secretary,  and  another  Mrs.  Frank  W.  Lane,  is 
a  Southern  District  Chairman.     We  have  two  mem- 


bers on  the  City  Welfare  Commission,  Mrs.  Elma 
Chadd   and   Mrs.   Cella   Slocum. 

Under  the  able  leadership  of  the  president,  Mrs. 
Ertia  Stewart,  we  are  having  a  very  successful  year. 
Have  just  contributed  $21  to  the  building  fund  of  the 
Children's  Home.  Sent  a  sum  to  the  bidnnial  fund, 
and  are  making  twenty-five  new  garments  for  the 
Needlework  Guild. 

Meet  every  two  weeks  at  the  home  of  the  members, 
and  programs  are  furnished  by  members  of  County 
Department   Chairman.

UNITED  STATES    PUBLIC  HEALTH  SERVICE 
HYGIENE  OF  OLD  AGE 


In  a  recent  broadcast  on  the  "Hygiene  of  Old  Age," 
Surgeon  General  Hugh  S.  Curaming  makes  a  plea  for 
a  better  understanding  of  this  condition  and  argues 
for  an  attitude  of  optimism  and  cheerfulness  when 
dealing  with  elderly  people. 

"There  is  too  much  of  a  tendency  among  persons 
reaching  a  certain  age  to  persuade  themselves  that 
they  have  reached  the  last  page  of  the  book  of  life." 
says  Dr.  Gumming.  At  this  point,  he  continues,  "many 
seem  to  think  that  both  mental  and  physical  activities 
should  be  relinquished.  The  contrary  viewpoint 
should  hold.  Efforts  shoul  dbe  made  to  preserve  such 
an  equanimity  of  mind  and  purpose  that  old  age  will 
become  a  period  of  comfort  and  enjoyment.  Old  age 
should  be  a  physiological  change  of  not  unpleasant 
nature.  Mental  as  well  as  physical  diversion  is  essen- 
tial to  true  happiness  in  old  age.  The  reading  of  cur- 
rent newspapers  and  periodicals  or  of  choice  standard 
literature  of  the  past  is  a  definite  antidote  to  the  fre- 
quent habit  of  introspection  and  the  tendenc}'  of  the 
aged  to  despond.  Sewing,  weaving,  simple  carpentry, 
or  other  light  manual  occupations  requiring  dexterity 
and  mental  application  are  useful  supplementary 
measures.  The  inclusion  of  the  elderly  in  social 
gatherings  and  spirited  conversations  with  younger 
persons  is  often  stimulating.  It  should  not  be  felt  that 
a  person  is  no  longer  entitled  to  an  interest  in  life 
because  he  is  old. 

Radio  broadcasting  has  opened  up  a  vista  of  en- 
chantment to  the  aged,  especially  to  those  with  im- 
paired hearing  or  failing  vision.  Not  only  does  radio 
interest  and  instruct  but  it  often  soothes.  With  its 
kaleidoscopic  changes  of  program,  radio  offers  diver- 
sion which  is  hygienically  helpful.  Good  radio  music 
is  thoroughly  enjoyable,  no  doubt  beneficial.  One 
should  not  however,  go  to  the  extreme  of  keeping  late 
hours   even  for   interesting   radio   programs. 

Many  of  the  problems  connected  with  the  hygiene  of 
old  age  are  due  to  lowered  mental  power.  There- 
fore, a  cheerful  and  optimistic  attitude  towards  the 
aged,  especially  during  sickness,  is  essential  to  their 
well  being.  Old  people  regard  their  condition  as  far 
less  serious  when  fully  dressed  and  out  of  bed.  How- 
ever, when  an  elderly  person  complains  of  being  over 
tired,  or  otherwise  not  physically  fit,  rest  in  bed  for  a 
day  is  advisable.  By  administering  light  and  easily 
digested  food  and  applying  warmth  to  the  body  of  an 
aged  patient  he  is  often  tided  over  a  prospective  ill- 
ness.

Special  attention  should  also  be  paid  to  proper 
clothing,  diet  and  exercise  of  the  elderly.  Inasmuch 
as  body  heat  decreases  after  the  age  of  40,  exercise 
is  required  to  provide  some  of  the  deficiency.  An  Eng- 
lish physician  who  recently  reached  the  age  of  95 
years,  advocates  and  practices  a  daily  walk  in  the 
open,  regardless  of  the  weather.  He  cautions,  how- 
ever, against  exercising  to  the  point  of  fatigue.  While 
all  old  people  may  not  be  able  to  follow  this  hardy  ex- 
ample, it  is  nevertheless  true  that  a  moderate  walk  on 
pleasant  days  is   a   beneficial   stimulant. 

The  digestive  powers  of  the  elderly  are  less  vigor- 
ous and  there  is  not  as  great  a  demand  for  body  fuel 
as  in  earlier  years.  The  principal  features  of  a  proper 
diet  in  old  age  include:  first,  a  diminished  quantity 
of  food ;  second,  the  ingestion  of  food  at  more  fre- 
quent intervals  and  in  smaller  quantities  and;  third, 
the  use  of  easily  digestible  food  which  does  not  pro- 
duce either  too  large  or  too  small  a  residue  of  waste 
matter.  Persons  of  advanced  age  are  almost  invari- 
ably lean,  have  partaken  moderately  of  food  and  drink 
in  earlier  life  and  as  a  rule  have  eaten  relatively 
little  meat  in  later  life.  The  foundation  for  a  happy 
and  comfortable  old  age  is  laid  during  the  active 
earlier  period  of  life. 

With  reasonable  attention  to  certain  well  defined 
and  easily  accessible  principles  of  personal  hygiene,  it 
is  possible,  in  many  instances  at  least,  to  retain  one's 
faculties  to  such  an  extent  as  to  make  old  age  a  pleas- 
ure rather  than  a  burden.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


TRAVELERS  AID   SOCIETY  OF  LOS  ANGELES 


By   Charles  H.    Toil,    Treasurer 


This  is  a  true  story,  and  it  happened  last  week. 

Edna,  15J/,  from  "Main  Street,"  ,  Indiana, 

arrived  in  the  Southern  Pacific  station  at  7:50  p.  m. 
She  had  $1.35  in  her  pocketbook  and  knew  not  a  soul 
in  Los  Angeles  but  never  a  doubt  or  fear  had  crept 
into  her  foolish  little  head,  for  she  knew  that  tomor- 
row she  would  be  on  the  road  to  fame  and  fortune  as 
a  second  Mary  Pickford.  This  romance  had  been  fos- 
tered by  a  "friend"  she  had  picked  up  on  the,  train, 
a  hard-featured  woman  who  promised  her  a  room, 
financial  help,  and  influence  in  getting  into  the  thea- 
'trical  world.  The  "friend"  fell  into  a  fine  fury  when 
the  Travelers  Aid  Society  worker  with  a  badge 
stepped   up  and  made  inquiries. 

That  night  Edna  was  safe  in  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 
Lodge,  a  somewhat  sadder  and  wiser  little  girl.  In 
twenty-four  hours  she  was  on  her  way  back  to  the 
home  and  simple  parents  whom  she  had  left  in  a  girl- 
ish tantrum. 

The  Travelers  Aid  Society  of  Los  Angeles  is  proud 
of  its  first  year's  work.  From  January,  1923,  to  Janu- 
ary,  1924,  it  has — 

Met  222,000   steam    and    interurban   trains. 

Helped    and    protected   23,000   travelers. 

Guided  821  minor  children  to  destination. 

Returned   86   runaway  youngsters   to   frantic  homes. 

Assisted  immigrants  representing  a  total  of  43  na- 
tionalities. 

Helped  the  sick,  the  aged,  and  helpless  and  those 
stranded  without  friends,  funds  or  relatives. 

The  list  of  women  and  girls  who  have  "disap- 
peared" is  longer  in  Los  Angeles  than  in  any  other 
city  in  the  world.  We  shorten  it  every  day.  Ten 
thousand  adolescent  girls  and  boys  are  said  to  be 
attracted  here  yearly  by  the  movies.  We  save  some 
of  them  from  disaster  every  day. 

Consider  11  year  old  Bobby,  arriving  from  the  State 
of  Washington  with  a  suspiciously  ne^v  suit  case.  It 
was  later  found  to  contain  as  traveling  equipment  a 
top,  a  bitten  apple,  and  a  compass  with  which  he 
planned  to  guide  himself  around  the  world.  Poor 
Bobby's  story  of  how  he  had  come  to  visit  "Jack  Frost" 
who  was  an  inventor  and  a  horse  doctor  and  had  fif- 
teen children  soon  broke  down  into  the  painful  facts 
of  a  theft  from  an  uncle,  and  a  poor  home  with  no 
father,  and  an  overworked  mother.  A  repentant 
homesick  boy  was  soon  on  his  way  home  assisted  at 
four  points  enroute  by  Travelers  Aid  Societies. 

There  was  Mr.  Jones,  81  years  of  age  but  still 
sturdy  and  spirited.  He  started  out  from  the  middle- 
■^vest  "to  see  the  \vorld"  and  also  to  find  his  daughter 
■whom  he  had  not  seen  for  twenty  years  but  believed 
to  be  in  Los  Angeles.  We  didn't  find  her — she  is  dead 
— but  soon  we  found  a  "friend  of  a  friend"  who 
turned  out  to,  be  one  of  Mr.  Jones'  pals  in  the  Civil 
War.  From  that  it  was  a  short  step  to  a  granddaugh- 
ter in  Fresno  who  gladly  opened  her  pleasant  ranch 
home  to  the  old   man   as   long  as  he  wishes  to  stay. 

From  January,  1923,  to  January,  1924,  we  received 
and    spent    about   $13,000. 

As  an  influential  business  man  here  put  it,  it  was 
worth  that  to  save  only  one  girl.  We  save  girls  every 
day. 

Regular  sources  of  financial  support:  $100  per 
month  from  the  Bureau  of  Catholic  Charities;  $85  per 
month  from  the  Jewish  Federation;  $50  per  month 
from  each  of  the  two  local   railways. 

Some  of  the  Protestant  Churches  are  now  taking  up 
collections  in  our  behalf  but  so  far  our  funds  have 
been   raised   chiefly  by  letter   appeal  to  clubs,   associa- 


tions and  private  individuals.  We  have  2000  individ-

THE    HOME    CULTURE    CLUB 
OF  SAN  LUIS  OBISPO 


By  Blanche   Laper,  Press   Chairman 

The  Home  Culture  Club  of  San  Luis  Obispo  is  en- 
joying one  of  the  most  interesting  and  instructive 
years  of  its  history  under  the  able  leadership  of  Mrs. 
Robert  Hamlin.  The  programs  at  our  regular  bi- 
monthly meetings  have  been  varied  somewhat,  and 
rare  treats  always  well  attended,  oftentimes  100  per 
cent.  Each  of  our  programs  furnish  new  ideas  and 
inspiration,  the  topic  on  Egypt,  Past  and  Present  fol- 
lowed by  Archaeological  Survey  proved  intensely  in- 
teresting. 

Our  club  is  a  busy  one  but  finds  time  for  charitable 
work,  sewing  for  needy  families  as  well  as  supplying 
other  needs. 

We  have  served  dinner  to  our  Boy  Scouts  on  "Clean 
Up  Day"  in  our  city. 

Believing  that  "no  life  is  complete  and  happy  that 
is  not  of  service  to  others,"  our  club  at  Christmas 
time  prepared  many  boxes  of  candies,  fruit  and  nuts, 
placing  inside  each  silver  coins,  for  our  "Old  Folks" 
at  our  County  Farm. 

The  social  side  of  the  Home  Culture  Club  is  not 
neglected  and  provides  many  delightful  hours  for  its 
members.  An  all  day  meeting  is  held  one  day  in 
each  year  to  sew  for  either  local  families  or  others 
who  need  help. 


EBELL   CLUB   OF  POMONA 


By  Mrs.  Grace  M.  Hufford,  Press  Chairman 

On  Friday,  March  7,  the  Ebell  Club  of  Pomona  cele- 
brated its  Charter  Day  anniversary.  This  day  had  a 
special  significance  for  the  club  this  year,  for  on  Fri- 
day afternoon  the  cornerstone  of  our  new  Auditorium 
was  laid.  The  day  was  a  very  delightful  and  profit- 
able one  for  all  present.  At  12:30  our  luncheon  was 
served  by  the  Executive  Board.  At  the  president's 
table  were  the  past  presidents  and  charter  members 
of  the  club.  Following  the  luncheon  the  members  of 
the  Dramatic  Work  Shop,  one  of  the  EbeJI  sections, 
gave  a  delightful  little  one-act  play.  At  the  close  of 
the   play  the   program  was   given   over    to    the     past

presidents  who  gave  to  the  club  a  very  delightful  hour 
of  reminiscences  of  their  administrations  which  would 
make  a  most  comprehensive  and  interesting  history 
of  Pomona  Ebell.  Mrs.  Melvin  Campbell,  first  presi- 
dent of  the  club  (1902-1903),  spoke  of  the  formation 
of  the  club,  of  its  first  meetings  in  churches,  the  opera 
house  or  wherever  they  could  find  a  place.  Both  Mrs. 
Campbell  and  Mrs.  Charles  Schwan,  second  president 
of  the  club,  paid  special  tribute  to  Mrs.  Lou  V.  Chapin, 
who  did  so  much  to  make  Pomona  Ebell  Club  a  pos- 
sibility. 

It  was  not  until  October,  1910,  during  the  adminis- 
tration of  Mrs.  Gridley,  then  Mrs.  Brady,  that  the 
club  had  a  home  of  its  own.  Mrs.  Gridley  told  many 
things  of  interest  in  the  effort  made  to  obtain  this 
home.  Other  past  presidents  spoke  of  the  main  events 
in  their  administration,  all  most  interesting  and  in- 
structive. 

Mrs.  McCormick,  club  president  from  1921-1923, 
told  of  the  removal  of  the  club  house  to  the  present 
site  under  the  historic  camphor  tree  where  Pomona 
Ebell  hopes  to  have  its  permanent  home.  The  club 
now  adjourned  to  the  site  of  the  new  auditorium  where 
the  cornerstone  was  laid  with  appropriate  ceremonies. 

Mrs.  Ralph  Smith,  the  president  of  the  club,  made 
a  charming  little  speech  introducing  S.  H.  Park,  presi- 
dent of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Mr.  Park  spoke 
of  the  work  of  the  club  in  the  community  and  paid  a 
tribute  to  the  helpfulness  of  the  club  in  a  civic  way.    A 


box  containing  year  books  and  copies  of  both  Pomona 
papers  of  date  of  March  7  was  placed  in  the  opening. 
Mrs.  Ralph  Smith  spread  the  mortar  and  the  stone 
was  lifted  into  place.  Dr.  Freeman,  pastor  of  the  Con- 
gregational Church,  then  pronounced  the  benediction. 
With  the  completion  of  present  plans  Pomona  Ebell 
expects  to  have  one  of  the  most  complete  and  artistic 
club  houses  in   Southern   California. 


THE  WOMAN'S   SYMPHONY 
ORCHESTRA 

By  Annamay  H.  DeGraiv 

The  Woman's  Symphony  Orchestra  under  the 
leadership  of  Mr.  Henry  Schoenefeld  gave  the  first 
concert  of  the  season  on  February  20.  It  was  a  well 
arranged  program  and  a  large  audience  was  in  at- 
tendace.  It  is  the  annual  custom  of  this  orchestra  to 
entertain  the  presidents  and  representatives  of  the 
various  clubs  at  the  opening  concert.  This  year  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Biennial  Board  and  the  Los  Angeles 
District  occupied  boxes  while  a  large  quota  represented 
the  music  clubs  and  the  Los  Angeles  Music  Federation. 

The  Woman's  Symphony  has  added  several  new 
members  this  year  and  at  the  present  time  numbers 
75.  It  is  the  only  woman's  club  of  its  kind  in  the 
United  States  and  is  always  received  with  ardor 
by  the  public  of  Los  Angeles   and  vicinity. 

The  nesft  concert  is  scheduled  for  April  16  at  the 
Philharmonic  Auditorium.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SANTA  MONICA  BAY  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

ByMrs.E.R.Maule 


Mrs.  Daniel  Grandin  Stephens,  founder  and  presi- 
dent emeritus  of  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club 
never  looked  less  the  "old  lady''  she  admits  to  being,  as 
far  as  mere  years  go,  for  eighty-five  birthdays  have 
gladdened  her  friends,  than  the  day  she  was  so  daintily 
bedecked  with  point  lace  cap  and  kerchief  and  staid 
black  silk  gown  while  her  club  daughters  dressed  in 
Colonial  costumes  to  match  their  powdered  coiffures. 
Bobbed  heads  camouflaged  merrily  under  bewitching 
bonnest,  a  terrible  future  being  predicted  by  Mrs. 
Stephens  for  all  her  daughters  who  persisted  in  wear- 
ing their  headgear  to  hide  the  ravages  of  the  bar- 
bers' shears  when  she  called  their  attention,  later  at 
the  Husband's  Dinner,  to  several  of  the  bald-heads 
resulting  from  constant  wearing  of  the  masculine 
chapeaux. 

The  costumed  group,  members  of  the  Executive 
Board,  served  luncheon  the  Monday  nearest  Wash- 
ington's birthday,  when  Mrs.  Stephens,  as  instructor, 
and  Mrs.  J.  M.  Hale,  as  chairman  of  the  Parliamen- 
tary Law  and  Public  Affairs  Section  presented  a  splen- 
did program  on  the  theme  of  International  Relations. 
Senora  Lenora  Borquay,  prominent  Mexican  club- 
woman, Madame  Nicholai  Borodine,  of  the  Russian 
aristocracy  exiled  to  this  country,  and  Mrs.  Clara 
Winlow,  formerly  head  of  the  Foreign  Language  de- 
partment of  the  Public  Library,  were  the  luncheon 
speakers  while  the  afternoon  program  was  given  over 


to  Mrs.  Seward  Simons,  State  Chairman  of  Interna- 
tional Relations.  Thus  the  club  members  were  able 
to  see  from  several  contrasting  viewpoints  this  broad 
and  vital  subject. 

Sponsoring  a  course  of  four  Philharmonic-artist 
concerts  and  placing  the  price  of  season  tickets  at 
the  ridiculous  price  of  four  dollars  for  adults  and  half 
that  for  students,  thus  bringing  the  very  best  of 
music  within  the  reach  of  everybody,  the  Santa  Mon- 
ica Bay  Woman's  Club  had  the  supreme  delight  of 
finding  their  faith  in  the  public's  taste  justified  when 
at  the  final  concert,  March  18,  with  Mario  Chamlee 
as  the  attraction,  the  door  receipts  actually  left  a 
balance  in  the  treasury  as  a  nucleus  for  next  year's 
course.  No  one  worked  harder  to  put  this  really  big 
proposition  across  than  valiant  little  Mrs.  Joseph  J. 
Braun,  president  of  the  club,  who  backed  up  her  be- 
lief in  the  musical  appreciation  of  the  community  by 
unceasing  efforts  and  spurred  on  the  ones  who  would 
have  given  up  in  discouragement.  Pioneering  in  any 
line  is  rough  going  but  the  years  to  come  will  have 
their  reward  for  Mrs.  Braun  when  her  people  turn 
grateful  eyes  upon  the  one  who  aided  them  to  attain 
a  higher  artistic  level.  Next  season  it  is  hoped  that 
a  course  may  be  brought  down  to  the  schools,  the 
splendid  co-operation  given  by  the  music  departments 
of  the  higher  grades  being  in  no  small  part  respon- 
sible for  the  success  of  this  year's  series.

"Boy  Conservation."  The  welfare  of  the  lads  of  the

Weak  End,"  produced  by  the  drama  section  before

The  CLUBWOMAN 


RIVERSIDE    WOMAN'S     CLUB 

Neither  the  physical  nor  the  mental  welfare  of 
members  have  been  overlooked  in  the  year's  pro- 
grams as  carried  out  by  the  Riverside  Woman's 
Club.  At  their  Home  Economics  luncheon,  the  mem- 
bers can  enjoy  the  close  contact  afforded  by  these 
affairs,  while  at  the  Public  Affairs  dinners,  the  gath- 
ering of  families  promotes  a  wonderful  spirit  of 
closeness.  The  various  study  classes  are  proving  very 
popular  to  the  members,  who  may  avail  themselves 
of  the  privilege  of  taking  up  any  one  of  these  lines 
of  study.  The  literature  department  has  been  enjoy- 
ing a  course  of  ten  lectures  on  "The  Bible  as  Litera- 
ture," all  lectures  ably  presented  by  Dr.  John  Gard- 
ner, pastor  of  the  local  Congregational  Church  and 
one  of  the  ablest  Bible  students  in  our  city.  The 
Drama  Department  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs. 
A.  M.  Lewis  has  been  taking  up  an  intensive  study 
of  "Shakespeare:  Early  History  and  Tragedy,"  which 
has  proven  most  interesting.  The  Music  Department 
has  been  greatly  enjoying  its  study  classes  under  the 
leadership  of  Miss  Betty  Brown.  The  oratorios  and 
operas,  the  selections  from  each  have  proven  interest- 
ing to  all,  while  the  Art  Department  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  George  K.  Elfers,  has  given  great  thought 
and  consideration  to  "Spanish  Art  and  Our  Cali- 
fornia Life."  Their  activities  have  also  resulted  in 
the  enjoyment  of  some  excellent  programs,  and  also 
adornment  to  our  already  attractive  club  home.  Then 
to  look  in  upon  the  Arts  and  Crafts  class,  one  is 
impressed  with  the  zeal  with  which  all  have  taken 
up  this  work,  and  beautiful  are  the  many  articles  com- 
pleted by  the  members  of  this  class.  The  work  in  all 
classes  has  proven  very  enjoyable  as  well  as  profit- 
able to  all  who  have  availed  themselves  of  the  priv- 
ilege. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  NEEDLES 

By  Madge  S.  Hynes,  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Needles  started  a  campaign 
to  get  a  Public  Health  nurse  in  Needles.  The  drive 
was  in  charge  of  the  Civics  Department;  Mrs.  R.  M. 
Daniels,  chairman. 

A  Community  Welfare  Association  was  formed  and 
a  drive  for  membership  sponsored  by  the  club  women. 
The  success  of  the  drive  is  now  assured  and  Needles 
will  soon  have  a  Public  Health  nurse. 

At  the  regular  club  meeting  on  March  18  the  mem- 
bers were  entertained  by  a  "Nigger  Minstrel"  given  by 
the  Music  Department,  Mrs.  E.  L.  Forsythe,  chairman. 


CURRENT    TOPICS    CLUB    OF 
VENTURA 

By  Mrs.  Parnell  McDerMoti,  Corresponding  Secretary 

Twenty-three  members  and  all  active,  is  the  rec- 
ord for  Current  Topics  Club  of  Ventura.  Meetings 
are  held  monthly  at  the  homes  of  members.  As  the 
name  implies,  the  study  of  current  events  is  the  pri- 
mary object  of  this  club;  however  all  matters  of  local 
and  national  interest  are  touched  upon.  Two  guest 
days  with  special  programs  are  given  during  the  year. 
The  motto  of  the  club  is  "The  Noblest  Motive  is  the 
Public  Good."  The  chairman  of  the  Social  Service 
Committee  has  charge  of  all  welfare  work  of  the  club. 

In  January,  $1.00  monthly  was  pledged  to  the  Non- 
Compensation  Fund  of  the  County  Committee  on  Co- 
operation with  Ex-Service  Men.  Each  member  pur- 
chases a  season  ticket  in  the  Club  League  of  Ventura 
and  to  meet  necessary  obligations,  a  "Kindness  Fund" 
basket  is  in  e%'idence  at  every  meeting. 

County,  district,  state,  and  general  Federations  dues 
are  paid,  as  is  our  Endowment  Fund  apportionment 
and  Biennial  Pledge. 


LEMON  GROVE  FORWARD 
CLUB 

By  Rose  Eckles,  President 

As  the  club  year  draws  to  a  close  the  club  activities 
pass  in  resume  before  the  mind,  and  it  is  found  that 
Federation  has  been  stressed  more  than  anything  else, 
perhaps. 

Forward  Club  in  1917  first  became  a  Federated  club, 
and  this  year  climaxed  by  joining  the  General  Fed- 
eration with  approximately  one  hundred  members. 
Parents  in  Lemon  Grove  school  district  feel  better 
acquainted  with  the  club  and  its  work  through  one 
club  program  having  been  given  by  the  children  and 
which  was  largely  attended  by  both  fathers  and 
mothers. 

The  music  for  the  Americanization  program  were 
songs  of  the  pupils  from  the  Mexican  school  room, 
led   by  their  teacher. 

April  11  is  being  looked  forward  to  as  a  big  day, 
for  that  is  our  Reciprocity  Day,  and  club  women  are 
invited  generally.  The  program  will  be  in  charge  of 
Mrs.  Kenneth  D.  Oliver,  Southern  District  President, 
who  will  conduct  a  club  institute  in  the  afternoon. 

The  inspiration  of  the  messages  given  by  our  state 
president,  Mrs.  Urquhart  and  our  state  director,  Mrs. 
Burdette,  respectively,  when  speaking  in  our  county 
lately,  has  reached  this  club  and  will  be  reflected 
in  a  fuller  knowledge  of  the  spiritual  force  of  under- 
standing and  a  real  prayer  in  the  words  "O  Lord,  keep 
us   from   being   locally   minded." 


PIO    PICO  WOMAN'S   CLUB 
OF  RIVERA 

By  Mrs.  N.  J.  Fuiks,  Press  Chairman 

The  Pio  Pico  Woman's  Club  is  making  some  im- 
provements on  its  club  house  by  adding  a  stage,  two 
dressing  rooms  and  kitchen.  Club  husbands  are  do- 
nating five  hundred  dollars  toward  the  indebtedness. 
A  kitchen  shower  will  furnish  the  kitchen.  Every  Sat- 
urday evening  the  club  ladies  will  give  a  thirty-five 
cent  dinner  to  the  community  to  help  pay  for  the  im- 
provements. More  bookcases  will  be  built  for  the 
county  library.  Mrs.  Irene  Lindse)'  gave  a  steel  flag- 
pole for  the  flag  given  last  year. 

The  new  town  of  Peaco,  we  hope,  will  give  us  a 
great  many  new  members.  Our  club  children  give  a 
dancing  party  once  a  month  and  pay  for  the  music 
themselves. 

The  last  program  given  by  Mrs.  James  Barlow  and 
Mrs.  Robinson  on  Birds  and  Wild  Life  was  greatly 
enjoyed,  as  Mrs.  Barlow  has  made  a  great  study  of 
birds.

"Tests  of  Libby's  Milk  showed  it  to  con- 
tain 8  teaspoons  of  butter  fat  per  can," 
writes  the  Pacific  Chemical  Laboratories. 
It's  the  famous  Humboldt  County  Milk, 
you  see,  with  more  than  half  the  water  re- 
moved. Double  rich  milk — that's  why  it's 
so  fine  for  cooking,  coffee,  baking.

THE   GREAT  COMMANDMENT: 
'THOU   SHALT   LOVE   THY  NEIGHBOR  AS   THYSELF' 


By  Prof.  H.  S.  Curr 
How  often  the  Old  Testament  records  the  exhorta- 
tion "Fear  not."  It  is  a  reminder  of  the  extent 
to  which  the  ancient  Hebrew  was  the  prey  of  fears, 
arising  in  all  kinds  of  ways  .  .  .  There  must  have 
been  many  times  and  seasons  in  their  lives,  when 
their  feelings  were  akin  to  those  of  sheep,  wandering 
through  a  deep  and  dark  ravine,  only  preserved  from 
panic  by  the  presence  of  the  shepherd.  While  the 
conditions  under  which  we  live  are  immeasurably 
happier  than  those  of  the  Psalmist,  we  have  not  got 
rid  of  fear  in  our  lives.  To  large  numbers  of  people 
God  and  death,  to  mention  but  two,  are  sources  of 
fear.  The  cure  of  fear  can  only  be  effected  in  the  way 
indicated  in  this  psalm  (Psalm  23).  It  lies  in  the 
realization  of  the  divine  presence.  Everybody  has 
read  of  the  magic  fashion  in  which  some  personalities 
can  inspire  confidence  in  all  who  come  near  then. 
If  that  can  be  accomplished  by  a  human  bein'g,  it 
stands  to  reason  that  the  sense  of  the  divine  pres- 
ence will  be  proportionately  more  effiicacious  in  pro- 
ducing the  same  happy  result.  If  God  be  with  us, 
....  we  can  go  anywhere  in  the  sure  confidence 
that  no  evil  befall  us.  O  Spirit  of  Holiness,  shed 
abroad  in  our  hearts  love  which  casteht  out  fear! 
— Canadian  Baptist,  Toronto,  Canada. 


they  go  about  seeking  that  good  and  helping  to 
bring  it,  not  to  themselves  alone,  but  to  others,  to 
the   world. — Mercury  Herald,  San  Jose. 


By  Rabbi  Samuel  Sacks 
Have  thoughts  of  love  instead  of  hate,  thoughts 
of  truth  not  of  error  .  .  .  When  we  talk  of  disarma- 
ment we  must  be  aware  that  for  a  nation  to  be  dis- 
armed the  minds  of  its  people  must  be  disarmed. 
They  must  lose  their  hate,  their  fear,  their  distrust, 
and  their  suspicion.  Do  not  fail  to  take  the  oppor- 
tunity before  you.  The  thunder  is  low  on  the  horizon, 
indicating  that  the  remnant  of  the  storm  is  passing 
away.  Hope  is  a  great  prophet  which  sees  through 
the    evil — Oregonian,  Portland,   Oregon. 


Is  it  not  more  practical  and  sensible  to  be  thinking 
of  the  good  time  coming  to  the  earth,  which  time  we 
may  help  to  hasten,  than  to  be  content  to  spend  one's 
life  here  in  anticipating  a  far-away  heaven,  the  real- 
ity and  the  time  of  the  coming  of  which  we  cannot 
affect?  Whether  there  be  this  far-away  heaven  and 
whether  we  shall  reach  it  may  admit  of  some  doubt, 
but  there  is  no  doubt  whatever  that  the  good  time  of 
which  poets  have  dreamed  and  sung  never  will  come 
to  the  world  until  men  bring  it.  And  how  are  they 
to  bring  it?  Not  by  fighting  and  warring,  whether 
their  welfare  be  as  individuals  or  as  nations,  and  no 
matter  what  the  subject  of  the  contentions  may  be. 
That  good  time  will  come  to  the  world,  or  at  least 
the  world  will  be  well  on  the  way  to  it,  when  men 
learn  that  the  highest  good  to  all  the  p^eople  is  the 
greatest  good    to   each    individual;    and   knowing  this 


Dr.  Heber  Dwight  Ketcham 
To  put  one's  self  in  the  right  mood  toward  the 
law  of  God  is  to  enter  nto  alliance  with  Him.  It 
la  wof  Go  dis  to  enter  into  alliance  with  Him.  It 
veil  of  Peter's  word,  "Humble  yourselves  therefore 
under  the  mighty  hand  of  God,"  there  is  the  pledge 
of  coming  power.  It  is  the  willing  acceptance  of 
God's  law  that  brings  possible  success.  It  is  the 
right  spirit  toward  God  and  man  that  makes  pos- 
sible the  last  part  of  the  promise, — "that  he  may 
exalt  you  in  due  time."  .  .  .  One  can  choose  or  refuse 
the  divine  claim,  but  the  law  is  so  absolute  and  un- 
changing that  he  can  no  more  avoid  the  consequences 
of  sin  than  he  can  by  stamping  his  foot  on  the  ground 
change  the  course  of  the  earth.  Christianity  ...  is 
is  a  statement  of  love,  of  law,  of  life.  It  is  as  broad 
as  the  universe,  as  deep  as  the  world's  nature,  as 
tender  as  the  heart  of  God,  and  as  enduring  as  eter- 
nity. It  is  worth  while  to  be  a  genuine  Christian, 
to  consent  to  the  law  of  right,  to  cooperate  with  the 
Mind  of  Christ,  to  live  in  good-will  toward  man  and 
in  unfailing  love  toward  God.  This  is  life  eternal. 
— Star,  Muncie,  Ind. 


Rev.  Harry  Adams  Hersey,  in  a  sermon  on  "Fear 
and  Faith,"  recently  said  that  the  peace,  prosperity, 
health,  happiness,  and  success  of  mankind  do  not 
depend  finally  upon  economic,  industrial,  or  social 
conditions,  or  on  any  external  fact  or  condition,  but 
upon  an  "inner"  condition,  a  spiritual  order,  an  at- 
titude to  life.  If  in  the  inner  life  fear  is  dominant, 
that  life  is  a  failure;  unhappiness  is  the  prevailing 
mood,  distress  is  common,  and  sickness  is  frequent. 
If,  on  the  other  hand,  faith  is  dominant,  then  the  life 
is  successful,  happiness  is  the  prevailing  mood,  and, 
if  the  faith  is  high  enough  and  strong  enough,  even 
sickness  and  disease  are  vanquished.  The  real  value 
of  any  system  of  philosophy  or  religion  is  its  power 
to  deliver  us  from  fear  and  give  us  over  to  faith  .  .  . 
Fear  is  negative  and  destructive,  born  of  a  distrust 
of  the  universe.  It  invites  disaster  and  disease;  it 
lowers  resistance  .  .  .  Faith  is  positive  and  construc- 
tive. It  is  born  of  religion.  .  .  .  Faith  is  the  great 
message  of  both  Old  and  New  Testaments.  The  finest 
fruitage  of  modern  Christianity  is  in  faith  without  fear. 
.  .  .  The  chief  cause  of  the  religious  life  today  is  not 
fear  of  what  God  will  do,  but  faith  in  what  God  is. 
Christianity  is  eliminating  fear,  including  the  fear  of 
death,  once  "king  of  terrors."  It  has  given  us  the  best 
age  the  world  has  known,  because  it  is  an  age  in 
which  faith  is  conquering  fear. — Star,  Muncie,  Ind.

She  began  her  after-college  life  as  the  head  of  the

by  Mrs.  Quincy  Shaw,  Prof.  Agassiz's  daughter, 
where  she  taught  for  two  years  until  her  marriage 
with  Thomas  G.  Winter  of  Minneapolis,  where  Mrs.

by  throwing  herself  into  civic  and  welfare  work.  She 
became  the  founder  and  for  eight  years  the  president 
of  the  Minneapolis  Women's  Club  which,  during  her 
administration,  came  to  own  its  own  club  house  and 
"Little  Theatre."  She  also  served  on  many  public 
groups,  such  as  the  Kindergarten  Association,  the 
Visiting  Nurses,  the  Playground  Commission,  the 
State  Child  Labor  Committee,  the  Hostesses.  During 
the  war  she  was  Chairman  of  the  State  Council  of 
Defense,  the  Woman's  Committee,  and  also  of  the 
Commission  of  Public  Safety,  while  her  husband  and 
daughter  served  in  France. 

Mrs.  Winter's  first  work  for  the  General  Federa- 
tion was  in  191+  during  Mrs.  Pennybacker's  second 
administration,  when  she  became  Chairman  of  the 
Department  of  Literature.  She  built  up  its  efficiency 
to  a  high  degree,  and  certainly  her  contact  with 
women  all  over  the  country  by  correspondence  and 
■  speaking  trips  had  its  result  in  warm  personal  rela- 
tions everywhere.  Later,  as  Director  from  Minnesota 
she  went  on  the  Board  of  the  General  Federation  and 
acted  as  Press  Chairman.  The  next  two  years  saw 
her  second  vice-president  and  director  of  the  massed 
departmental  work  for  Americanization.  Two  years 
later  she  became  National  President,  and  is  now  in 
her  second  term  of  that  office. 

During  Mrs.  Winter's  administration,  the  General 
Federation  has  greatly  increased  its  membership  and 
perfected  its  administrative  methods,  particularly 
in  bringing  the  state  organizations  into  a  more  active 
and  sympathetic  share  in  all  business.  This  has  been 
further  hastened  by  the  purchase  of  very  beautiful 
headquarters  in  Washington  as  a  center  for  informa- 
tion and  help  and  inspiration  for  all  clubs  over  the 
country. 

Besides    having   edited    and    added    material    to    the 


autobiography  of  her  distinguished  father,  Mrs.  Win- 
ter has  written  two  novels,  "The  Prize  to  the  Hardy" 
and  "Jewel  Weed,"  as  well  as  many  short  stories. 
She  prepared  numerous  study  club  programs  that 
have  been  used  by  thousands  of  clubs,  notably  "The 
Immigrant  as  Seen  Through  His  Own  Literature" 
and  "Americanization  Programs."  During  her  presi- 
dency she  has  written  articles  for  the  Woman's  Home 
Companion,  Ladies  Home  Journal,  Pictorial  Review, 
North  American  Review,  Review  of  Reviews,  Mod- 
ern Priscilla,  Good  Housekeeping,  as  well  as  numer- 
ous contributions  to  editorial  or  news  service.  She  is 
likewise  a  member  of  the  editorial  staff  of  the  Ladies 
Home  Journal,  serving  with  the  consent  of  the  board 
of  the  General  Federation.

PURE  MILK 

THE  CALIFORNIA  MENU 


Milk  and  dairy  products  in  general  have  been  called 
by  scientists  the  perfect  food.  Latest  scientific  in- 
formation indicates  that  adults  should  have  a  liberal 
quantity  of  milk,  fruits  and  leafy  vegetables  in  the 
diet.  As  is  well  known,  California  produces  all  of 
these  abundantly. 

California  Dairy  Council  has  a  recent  article  by 
Dr.  E.  V.  McCollum,  of  Johns  Hopkins  University, 
one  of  the  foremost  authorities  on  nutrition  in  the 
world.  A  brief  quotation  from  this  article  indicates 
that  Dr.  McCollum  is  one  of  the  greatest  scientist- 
boosters  for  California  products.     He  says: 

"First:  The  more  generous  use  of  dairy  products  is 
essential.  Instead  of  half  a  pint  of  milk  a  day  (this 
is  the,  amount  used  by  the  average  individual  through- 
out the  country),  each  of  us  should  use  at  least  a 
quart,  either  as   a  beverage  or  in  foods. 

"Milk  is  not  only  a  food  and  rich  in  vitamins,  it 
serves  us  in  another  way.  It  encourages  the  growth 
in  the  intestine  of  bacteria  which  produce  lactic  acid, 
and  these  help  rid  the  intestine  of  harmful  bacilli 
which  cause  the  putrefaction  of  protein  foods.  When 
the  proper  amount  of  milk  is  used  the  amount  of 
noxious  products  formed  in  the  intestine  is  negligible. 

"Second:  There  are  dietary  properties  in  the  leafy 
parts  of  vegetables  which  differ  entirely  from  the 
properties  of  potatoes  and  the  root  vegetables  such  as 
beets  and  turnips.  Eating  leafy  vegetables  in  liberal 
quantities  provides  the  body  with  invaluable  sub- 
stances, which  it  cannot  secure  in  adequate  amount 
from  milled  cereals,  potatoes,   and   the  muscle  cuts  of 


meat  such  as  beefsteak,  ham  and  roasts.  They  are  of 
great  advantage  also  because  they  leave  a  bulky 
residue,  which  aids   the  intestine  to  empty. 

"Remember  that  the  leafy  vegetables  are  important 
for  both  their  vitamins  and  their  inorganic  matter. 
The  most  important  of  them  are  spinach,  lettuce,  cab- 
bage, chard,  cauliflower,  Brussels  sprouts,  coUards, 
kale,  beet  tops,  turnip  tops,  dandelion,  water  cress, 
lamb's  quarters,  and  rape.  The  onion  bulb  is  really 
a  mass  of  thickened  leaves,  and  so  may  be  included 
in  this  list. 

"Third:  We  must  all  eat  frequently  of  raw  vege- 
tables and  raw  fruit  to  make  certain  of  having  in 
our  diet  the  vitamins  which  protect  against  scurvy. 
Raw  cabbage,  raw  tomatoes,  and  oranges  are  par- 
ticularly valuable  for  this  purpose."

The  CLUBfVOMAN 


THE  REST  COTTAGE  OF  THE  EBELL  CLUB  OF 

LOS  ANGELES 


By  Mis.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


Rest  Cottage  was  started  six  years  ago  in  a  small 
bungalow  in  the  southern  part  of  the  city  where  care 
could  be  given  to  a  few  women  at  a  time  who,  through 
illness  or  overwork,  were  in  need  of  rest,  wholesome 
food  and  tender  interest  to  restore  them  to  normal 
health  and  spirits.  This  became  at  once  the  major 
philanthropy  of  Ebell  Club  and  every  effort  was  put 
forth  to  make  the  plan  efficient  and  to  provide  the 
necessary  funds  to  meet  the  running  expenses.  The 
first  location  was  not  adequate  and  in  a  short  time  a 
lot  was  purchased  on  North  Park  View  Street  near 
Beverly  Boulevard  and,  through  the  efforts  of  Mrs. 
W.  A.  Moses,  a  wonderful  benefit  was  given  in  the 
gardens  of  Mrs.  Chester  Brown  which  netted  over 
eight  thousand  dollars.  Through  this,  together  with 
gifts  and  the  proceeds  from  several  other  entertain- 
ments given  bj'  the  Benefits  and  Entertainments  Com- 
mittee, the  new  home  was  made  possible.  It  was 
completed  last  year  and  is  a  thoroughly  livable,  at- 
tractive home,  tastefully  furnished,  well  planned,  with 
a  garden  and  summer  house,  flowers  and  shrubbery, 
and  an  atmosphere  of  cheerfulness  and  comfort.  Mrs. 
William  Steinbaugh  is  the  capable  and  sympathetic 
matron  who  presides  as  hostess,  and  who  welcomes 
the  guests,  from  twelve  to  fourteen  at  a  time,  who 
come  to  rest  awhile.  Over  one  hundred  were  enter- 
tained within  these  hospitable  walls  last  year,  and  not 
only  were  thej*  given  the  best  of  food  and  care  and 
the  comfort  of  ideal  surroundings,  but  they  were  made 
to  feel  that  their  problems  were  of  real  interest  and 
concern  to  the  women  of  Ebell  Club. 

Mrs.  George  Cooke  is  the  chairman  of  Rest  Cot- 
tage Association,  and  hers  is  a  task  which  requires 
rare  qualities  of  tact  and  judgment.  The  selection 
from  among  the  many  applicants  of  the  fortunate 
few  who  may  have  the  privilege  of  a  stay  at  Rest 
Cottage  is  in  itself  a  matter  of  grave  consideration 
and  when  the  time  comes  to  leave,  Ebell  continues  to 
take  an  interest  in  their  welfare.  Hours  are  spent 
in  listening  to  the  problems  that  confront  each  one, 
advice  and  help  is  given  in  a  thousand  different  ways, 
many  times  with  the  aid  of  the  practical  relief  depart- 
ment. 

The  property  was  dedicated,  when  finished,  entirely 
free  from  debt  and  there  is  now  an  endowment  fund 
of  over  five  thousand  dollars,  which  will  be  increased 
each  year.  The  proceeds  from  the  benefits  and  enter- 
tainments, the  associate  and  life  memberships  and 
various  gifts,  together  with  five  hundred  dollars  a 
year  from  the  treasury  of  Ebell,  are  more  than  suf- 
ficient to  pay  all  running  expenses. 

When  it  came  time  to  furnish  the  new  home  there 
were   manv   who   wished   to   contribute.     Mrs.   W.   A. 


Moses,  Mrs.  George  M.  Nowell,  Mrs.  John  Ferguson 
and  Mrs.  Joseph  Moore  furnished  the  living  room. 
The  Kappa  Kappa  Gamma  sorority  furnished  the  din- 
ing room.  The  sun  room,  gay  with  chintz  and  wicker 
furniture,  was  furnished  by  Mrs.  T.  Paul  Jones  and 
Mrs.  Irene  C.  Williams.  The  bed  room  doors  bear 
brass  plates  with  the  names  of  the  donors,  Mrs.  Mary 
Larrimore,  Mrs.  R.  L.  Gifford,  Mrs.  Leafie  Sloan- 
Orcutt,  Mrs.  William  B.  Webb,  Mrs.  Charles  Wolfen- 
dern,  Mrs.  O.  H.  Fithian,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Ernst  and 
the  Ebell  Juniors.  Mrs.  W.  R.  Wherry  has  recently 
given  a  splendid  radio  which  is  a  source  of  delight 
and   "listening  in''   is   a  favorite  evening  pastime. 

No  article  relatong  to  Rest  Cottage  would  be  com- 
plete without  a  word  of  appreciation  of  Mrs.  William 
Read,  who  has  been  the  guiding  spirit  and  inspiration 
of  the  plan  from  the  beginning,  and  whose  counsel  and 
practical  business  ability  has  made  many  a  rough  place 
to    become   smooth. 

Those  who  have  worked  to  make  Rest  Cottage  a 
success  should  feel  very  proud  and  happy  over  the  re- 
sults they  have  attained.  No  place  could  be  more 
homelike,  more  free  from  the  disagreeable  suggestion 
of  a  charitable  institution.  Surely  there  is  no  work 
that  would  be  more  worth  while  to  the  community, 
none  that  could  bring  more  satisfaction  to  those  who 
give  so  freely  of  their  time  and  money  to  make  it  what 
they  want  it  to  be,  a  quiet  place  where  weary  souls 
may  find  rest  and  sympathy.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Sarah  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


Do  you  believe  in  democracy?  Why  is  this  chal- 
lenge now  flung  to  us  who  have  grown  up  in  the 
belief  that  democracy  in  America  was  no  longer  an 
experiment  and  that  it  was,  moreover,  the  destined 
way  of  salvation  for  the  whole  world?  Why  is  our 
faith  in  it  now  questioned ;  Democracy,  the  rule  of 
the  majority,  and  the  loyal  acceptance  of  that  rule 
on  the  part  of  all,- — not  because  it  means  the  best  pos- 
sible government  but  because  it  has  the  sanction  and 
support  of  all — this  is  what  we  are  committed  to,  and 
this   is   the   belief   we   are   now    challenged   to   defend. 

Dr.  Alexander  Meiklejohn,  former  president  of 
Amherst  College,  in  his  recent  address  before  the 
Friday  Morning  Club  stirred  us  deeply  by  his  presen- 
tation of  the  dilemma  that  confronts  every  true  be- 
liever in  democracy  and  thrilled  us  with  his  own 
unfaltering  faith  in  democracy  triumphantly  achieved 
through   wide-spread    education. 

Democracy  is  suffering  a  certain  disrepute  at  the 
present  moment,  a  "receding  tide"  is  observable  in 
those  countries  of  Europe  where  it  had  seemed  to 
have  acquired  a  foothold.  Everywhere  (America  not 
excepted)  we  find  democracy  breaking  down  through 
selfishness  and  ignorance.  The  attempt  for  minority 
rule,  whether  of  wealth  or  power,  or  even  of  intelli- 
gence, is  not  democracy.  A  certain  distrust  of  major- 
ities is  evident.  Perhaps  we  might  all  confess  to  the 
feeling  that  minorities  represent  the  greater  intelli- 
gence, the  wider  outlook.  Culture  for  the  masses, 
like  mother-love  in  an  orphan  asylum,  seems  to  be 
spread  very  thin.  The  worthy  life,  culture,  excel- 
lence, even  in  a  democracy  belongs  to  the  few,  the 
educated.  We  do  not  need  to  be  reminded  that 
an  aristocracy  gave  to  the  world  all  the  beauty  and 
culture  of  Greece  and  Rome,  England  and  France. 
There  are  those  who  hold  that  great  heights  of  attain- 
ment are  only  possible  throguh  an  aristocracy,  and 
that  in  a  democracy  we  forfeit  these  possibilities. 
The  worthy  life,  taste,  sensitiveness  to  beauty,  all  that 
makes  for  finer  living,  more  life,  comes  through  edu- 
cation; while  dullness,  insensitiveness,  ignorance  makes 
for  degradation  and  death.  Thus  our  forefathers 
caught  the  vision  and  saw,  as  the  necessary  bulwark 
of  democracy,  the  common  school,  universal  education. 
Life  must  be  excellent,   and  it  must  be  shared. 

We  have  talked  much  of  education,  we  have  be- 
lieved that  we  are  accomplishing  great  things  in 
America  through  education,  but  have  we  ever  really 
grasped  the  dimensions  of  our  problem?  Have  we 
ever  visualized  the  gigantic  task  before  us?  A 
country  that  spends  more  money  for  tobacco  in  a  year 
than  for  education;  a  country  that  has  no  Secretary 
for  Education  in  the  President's  cabinet,  can  such 
a  one  be  thought  truly  to  have  met  the  problem  of  the 
education  of  its  110^000,000?  We  have  neither  the 
schools,  the  teachers   nor  the  necessary   equipment. 

Among  ten  nations  of  educational  standing,  England, 
Scotland,  Germany,  Norway,  Sweden,  etc.,  the  United 
States  has  the  highest  percentage  of  illiteracy.  Over 
1,700,000  foreign-born  cannot  read  nor  write  in  any 
language;  over  1,000,000  cannot  speak  the  English  lan- 
guage. Do  we  realize  the  menace  this  is  to  a  democ- 
racy? 

Education  is  pre-eminently  a  matter  of  concetn  to 
women.  Clubwomen,  through  the  General  Federation 
of  Women's  Clubs,  have  endorsed  the  Towner-Ster- 
ling Education  Bill  which  proposes:  "To  create  a 
Department  of  Education  with  a  Secretary  in  the 
President's  cabinet.  To  create  a  National  Council  of 
one  hundred  representative  educators  and  laymen, 
which  will  meet  annually  at  the  call  of  the  Secre- 
tary.     To    give    Federal    aid    to   encourage    the    states 


in  the  solution  of  their  educational  problems,  funda- 
mental alike  to  good  citizenship  in  both  state  and 
nation."  This  bill  will  come  before  the  present  Con- 
gress, and  it  should  enlist  the  active  support  of  every 
believer  in  democracy,  every  one  who  realizes  that 
through  education,  of  its  citizens  lies  the  hope  of  a 
democracy. 

We  are  indeed  grateful  to  Dr.  Meiklejohn  for  put- 
ting so  clearly  before  us  the  problem  of  excellence 
in  a  democracy,  for  compelling  to  ask  ourselves  with 
a  new  searching  of  the  heart:  Do  you  believe  in 
democracy? 

Expectations  are  not  often  surpassed,  but  on  April 
16,  when  the  doors  of  the  new  clubhouse,  at  940  South 
Figueroa  Street,  were  throw  open  to  members  and 
friends  the  general  feeling  was  one  of  delighted 
surprise.  At  10  a.  m.  the  flag  was  raised,  and  until 
10  p.  m.  Mrs.  Lobingier  and  members  of  the  board 
received  the  throng  of  admiring  visitors.  For  the  first 
time  the  rather  austere  interior  of  the  building  was 
seen  with  rugs,  draperies  and  furniture  which  trans- 
formed it  into  a  charming  club  home.  Baskets  of 
beautiful  flowers,  sent  by  friends  of  the  club,  added 
their  note  of  color  to  the  altogether  harmonious  scheme 
of  decoration.  Even  those  who  have  seen  the  build- 
ing frequently  during  the  past  weeks  experienced.  I 
believe,  a  new  thrill  when  all  was  in  readiness  and 
order.  Comfort  and  good  taste  were  everywhere  in 
evidence.  The  auditorium  chairs  were  pronounced 
exceedingly  comfortable;  the  stage  setting  most  artis- 
tic; the  kitchen  equipment  admirable,  and  so  on,  and 
so  on,  from  basement  dressing  rooms  to  art  gallery  on 
the  top  floor  one  heard  comments  of  approval. 

Mrs.  Osgood,  whose  birthday  it  was,  was  there  to 
grace  the  occasion  and  to  receive  the  congratulations 
of  her  hosts  of  friends.  It  was  a  memorable  event  in 
the  history  of  the  club,  and  one  we  wish  every  member 
might  have  participated  in,  the  beginning  of  a  new 
chapter  as  well   as  a   return  home. 

HUNTINGTON    BEACH 
WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  F.    G.  Swann,  Press   Chairman 

The  Huntington  Beach  Woman's  Club  was  the  first 
in  this  county  to  go  over  the  top  in  their  quota  for 
the  Biennial  fund.  It  aided  in  the  Red  Cross  drive, 
joined  the  General  Federation  of  Woman's  Clubs  and 
is  now  working  on  a  plan  to  have  a  supervised  play- 
ground built  on  the  beach.  The  ladies  gave  an  after- 
noon party  at  Arrowhead  Hospital  for  disabled  ex- 
Service  men.  They  put  on  a  sale  here  of  the  things 
the  ex-soldiers  at  the  hospital  made  which  netted  the 
boys  $200.  A  program  was  put  on  with  the  assist- 
ance of  the  Boy  Scouts  and  Camp  Fire  Girls  which 
was  a  very  instructive  and  entertaining  affair.  A 
club  luncheon  was  given  to  the  forty  new  members 
who  were  taken  in  during  the  year.  Two  successful 
parties  were  given  recently,  one  of  which  was  an 
afternoon  and  the  other  an  evening  affair.  These 
were  given  for  the  purpose  of  interesting  new  mem- 
bers in  joining  the  club.  A  comedy  will  be  given 
about  May  16,  which  is  entitled  "Polly  with  a  Past." 
This  will  be  looked  forward  to  with  interest  as  all 
the  characters  will  be  interpreted  by  members  of  the 
club.  Plans  are  being  made  for  the  annual  luncheon 
in  June.  This  is  the  big  feature  of  the  year  and  will 
close  a  most  successful  year  of  the  club  under  the 
direction  of  its  able  president,  Mrs.  Hansel  Larter.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  SHAKESPEARE  CLUB  OF  PASADENA 


By  Mrs.  Clayton  R.  Taylor,  President 


The  Shakespeare  Club  is  happy  this  year  in  build- 
ing its  new  auditorium  located  on  the  lot  adjoining 
the  present  club  house.  The  old  building  has  been  put 
in  perfect  repair,  redecorated  and  refurnished,  a 
new  kitchen  and  a  caretaker's  apartment  added,  and 
the  old  building  incorporated  with  the  new  in  such  a 
way  that  it  will  form  an  important  unit  of  the  whole 
plant.  The  cornerstone  was  laid  on  April  1  with 
the  president,  Mrs.  Clayton  R.  Taylor,  presiding. 
Mrs.  Leo.  G.  MacLaughlin,  chairman  of  the  building 
committee,  untied  the  rope  that  let  the  stone  drop  into 
place.  Miss  Anna  Meeker,  who  was  president  of  the 
building  association  nineteen  years  ago  when  the  cor- 
ner stone  was  laid  for  the  present  club  house  and 
Mrs.  Mary  Cowan,  secretary  for  the  association  at 
that  time,  gave  a  few  remarks  in  happy  vein.  The 
trowel  that  was  used  for  the  first  building  was  used 
on  this  occasion  by  Mrs.  Taylor  in  spreading  the 
mortar.  On  the  platform  with  the  president  were 
gathered  all  those  who  had  been  members  of  the 
club  for  twenty-live  years  or  more.  Dr.  Gifford  gave 
the  invocation  and  the  Shakespeare  Club  Singers  ren- 
dered a  beautiful  number  conducted  by  their  leader, 
Mrs.  Blauvelt. 

The  activities  of  the  club  this  year  have  been  in- 
teresting and  the  club  has  grown  in  membership  to 
twelve  hundred.  All  the  features  of  study,  enter- 
tainment and  philanthropy  of  past  years  have  been 
maintained  and  two  new  departments  added  The  first 
of  these  is  the  English  Department  with  Mrs.  Chris- 
tine Shultz  as  leader.  Here  the  correct  use  of  our 
language  has  been  studied.  The  second  is  the  Public 
Affairs  Department  where  Professor  Stonier  from 
U.S.C.  has  been  giving  a  series  of-  lectures,  entitled 
"Government  in  a  Changing  World."  Nothing  in  the 
history  of  the  club  has  been  more  instructive  or  met 
with  moren  enthusiastic  response.  From  time  to  time 
an  open  forum  upon  vital  topics  has  been  conducted 
by  members  of  the  club.  This  tends  to  stimulate 
individual     effort. 

There  are  several  events  of  interest  just  past  and 
to  come,  and  these  have  kept  the  members  more  than 
busy  with  plans.  The  first  was  an  open  house  held 
for  the  citizens  of  Pasadena  on  April  29  followed  by 
a  dinner  to  which  all  the  club  husbands  were  ni- 
vited.  This  was  the  Shakespeare  Club  offering  to  the 
Jubilee  Year  Celebration  of  the  city.  The  second 
event  will  be  the  May  Party  for  Shakespeare  Club 
members  to  be  held  on  May  6.  This  is  to  be  a  real 
party  and  will  be  one  of  the  big  social  events  of  the 
year.  The  annual  business  meeting  will  be  held  in 
the  morning  from  10:30-12:30,  then  will  occur  the 
special  club  luncheon  with  a  program  appropriate  to 
May  Day,  in  the  afternoon.  On  May  27  the  club 
will  entertain  the  members  of  the  G.A.R.,  the  Ameri- 
can Legion,  and  their  wives.  Every  year  the  club 
takes  this  date  to  show  its  appreciation  of  the  soldiers 
and  it  is  an  event  always  looked  forward  to  and 
counted  on  both  bj-  members  of  the  club  and  the  old 
soldiers.  The  music  of  the  fife  and  drum  corps  always 
seems  to  bring  an  added  blessing  to  the  club. 

With  the  other  federated  clubs  of  Pasadena  the 
Shakespeare  Club  is  planning  and  looking  forward  to 
the  State  Convention  which  is  to  be  held  at  the  First 
Congregational  Church  in  Pasadena.  The  convention 
will  be  held  on  the  evening  of  May  30  and  the  day 
and  evening  of  May  31.  It  is  a  source  of  regret  to 
the  club  that  the  convention  is  to  be  so  short  that  their 
plans    for    local    hospitality    and    entertainment    will 


necessarily  be  limited.  A  short  reception  for  state 
officers  and  visiting  women  will  be  held  Friday  eve- 
ning from  seven  to  eight,  preceding  the  evening  pro- 
gram in  the  church  and  auditorium.  Lucheon  will  be 
served  Saturday  noon  at  the  church  and  an  automo- 
bile ride  will  follow  the  afternoon  session  on  Satur- 
day. The  evening  session  on  Saturday  will  be  held 
in  the  Shakespeare  club  house,  220  South  Los  Robles 
Avenue. 

The  Local  Board  is  organized  as  follows:  Mrs. 
Clayton  R.  Taylor,  chairman;  Mrs.  Frank  Wallace, 
vice-chairman;  Mrs.  Harry  Van  Sittert,  secretary; 
Mrs.  Frederick  Gillmor,  treasurer;  Mrs.  C.  C.  Wil- 
litts,    corresponding    secretary. 

Chairman  of  committees  (local) — Automobile,  Miss 
Mary  Wallace  Wier;  Auditorium,  Mrs.  F.  J.  Mills; 
Decoration,  Mrs.  J.  E.  Herbold ;  Hospitality,  Mrs. 
Leo  G.  MacLaughlin;  Hotels,  Mrs.  J.  S.  Bennett;

Mrs.  Bernard  V.  Herbst;  Information  and  Registra- 
tion, Mrs.  Frank  Scares;  Badges,  Mrs.  P.  H.  Johnson. 

On  Saturday  June  7,  which  will  be  Play  Day  for 
the  Biennial,  Pasadena  will  again  be  hostess  and  the 
same  local  board  will  have  charge  of  arrangements 
for  the  entertainment.  About  three  hundred  guests 
will  be  met  in  Los  Angeles  and  will  be  given  a  ride 
through  the  beautiful  scenic  highways  of  the  city 
and  its  surroundings.  At  the  Shakespeare  Club  House 
the  Community  Players  will  give  a  play  to  entertain 
the  guests,  after  which  a  reception  will  be  held  and 
refreshments   served    in   the   beautiful   club   tea   rooms. 


THE  BUENA  PARK  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  E.  E.    Thurman,  Press.  Chairman 

Its  aims  shall  be  to  render  assistance  to  those  in 
need,  to  promote  sociability  and  good  fellowship 
among  its  members  and  the  community  generally  and 
do  any  civic  work  for  the  public  good  that  may  be 
considered  expedient  or  advisable.  Although  small 
in  membership,  we  are  striving  to  own  our  clubhouse 
and  this  will  be  accomplished  as  every  member  is  in 
harmony  on  this  point.  Lots  have  been  selected  and 
arrangements  for  the  coveted  club  home,  are  being 
perfected. 

Tills  is  one  of  a  few  clubs  to  hold  memorial  serv- 
ices  in  honor  of  the   late  President  Harding. 

The  social  and  intellectual  interests  are  provided 
for.  Notable  among  the  good  things  during  the 
year  are:  playtime  for  our  people,  Armistice  Day 
and  Thanksgiving  services,  dinner  and  Christmas 
party  for  members  and  families.  Baby  Biennial, 
Americanization,  Home  Betterment  and   Citizenship. 

March  9  was  the  club's  anniversary,  another  family 
gathering.  May  15  will  be  Reciprocity  Day.  The 
first  dahlia  show  was  put  on  last  autumn.  A  talk 
by  Dr.  Archer,  president  of  the  California  Dahlia 
Society,  has  encouraged  the  committee  to  better  work 
for  this  year's  show. 

The  ways  and  means  committee  is  making  good 
and  this  brings  the  clubhouse  a  little  nearer. 

Mrs.  Ralph  Cummins,  president,  has  the  confidence 
of  the  members  and  the  pleasure  of  seeing  the  results 
of  a  good  year's  work.

The  CLUBJVOMAN 


LIVING  EMBLEMS  OF  CALIFORNIA'S  FEDERATED 

CLUBS 


Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  State  Chairman    Birds  and  Nat 

The  tendency  to  ignore  the  laws  protecting  the  nat- 
ural life  of  our  country  has  reached  a  stage  when 
we,  as  citizens,  must  arouse  to  the  danger  if  any  part 
of  our  wild  life  is  preserved  for  future  generations. 
It  has  gone  beyond  the  "watchful  waiting"  period. 
All  possible  means  must  be  taken  advantage  of  to 
educate  the  public  to  the  importance,  nay,  the  neces- 
sity for  preserving  this  rich  heritage  of  our  forests, 
wild   flowers,   birds   and   animal   life. 

The  world  seems  pleasure-mad.  Natural  beauty — 
our  national  assets,  are  being  commercialized  for 
individual  gratification.  Our  canyons  are  being  made 
into  pleasure  resorts;  our  hills  denuded  of  their  elfin 
forests,  our  fields  and  by-ways  bereft  of  their  wild 
flower  carpets.  Nature's  natural  beauties  with  which 
she  has  adorned  the  earth  since  the  creation,  are  be- 
ign  ruthlessly  torn  asunder  and  trampled  under  a 
million  careless,  hurrying  feet! 

Naturalists  realize  the  danger  and  are  striving  to 
stem  the  tide  by  educational  talks,  field  observation 
walks,  slides  of  moving  pictures  of  bird  and  animal 
life  and  individual  nature  instruction  in  the  school 
room,  depicting  the  value  of  our  elfin  forests  in  con- 
serving our  water  supply,  the  forests  for  the  multiple 
uses  of  wood,  the  birds  for  the  economic  value  in 
holding  in  check  the  vast  army  of  ravenous  insects 
which  cause  an  annual  injury  to  agriculture  and  forest 
products  of  $1,000,000,000,  as  carefully  estimated  by 
W.  L.  McAtee  of  the  Bureau  of  Biological  Survey, 
who  has  specialized  in  economic  ornithology  and  esti- 
mates our  yearly  indebtedness  to  birds  for  insects 
actually    destroyed    at   $444,000,000. 

The  United  States  and  Canada  stand  at  the  head 
among  the  countries  of  the  world  in  their  federal  and 
state  laws  for  wild  life  protection,  which  is  now 
recognized  as  a  national  asset.  This  year  for  the 
first  time  in  the  history  of  our  federated  clubs,  Cali- 
fornia has  been  organized  100  per  cent  for  the  pro- 
tection and  preservation  of  its  birds  and  natural  life 
with  a  chairman  of  this  department  in  every  district, 
and   much   effective  work  has  been   accomplished. 

A  natural  prejudice  against  some  species  whose 
economic  value  has  not  been  understood,  has  been 
a  great  obstacle  to  overcome.  If  the  farmer  realized 
the  proven  value  of  the  birds,  he  would  not  allow 
one  to  be  killed  on  his  property;  neither  would  he 
allow  a  gun  on  his  lands  if  he  understood  that  his 
crops,  whether  cotton  or  corn,  grain  or  alfalfa,  pump- 
kins or  fruit,  potatoes  or  other  vegetables  depend  as 
much  upon  the  hunger  of  birds  as  upon  the  soil  and 
moisture.  If  he  would  read  the  bulletins  on  this 
subject,  issued  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture, 
he  would  be  a  wiser  instead  of   a  sadder  man. 

Not  to  know  our  common  birds  and  their  economic 
value  in  this  age  of  enlightenment,  is  as  reprehensible 
as  not  to  know  authors,  composers  and  artists.  They 
play  as  important  a  part  in  life  as  man,  for  without 
birds,  plant  life  would  soon  be  consumed  by  the 
hordes  of  insects  which  insecticides  and  mechanical 
devices  can  never  reach,  and  without  plant  life,  man 
could  not  exist,  is  the  verdict  issued  by  the  Biological 
Survey. 

To  arouse  interest  in  California's  natural  life,  to 
open  the  door  to  the  spiritual  uplift  of  an  understand- 
ing of  nature's  wonderful  treasure  house,  I  conceived 
the  idea  of  asking  every  federated  club  in  the  state 
to  choose  as  its  living  emblems  a  California  tree, 
bird  or  flower  to  extol  and  to  work  for  their  preser- 
vation. 

A  spirit  of  pride  in  the  club  emblems  will  create 
a   desire  to  become  familiar  with  the  poems,   legends 


iiral  Life,  California  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs 

and  literature  concerning  them  and  will  tend  to  stim- 
ulate a  more  personal  responsibility  for  their  preser- 
vation. 

It  is  a  unique  method  of  introducing  personal  con- 
servation responsibility  within  the  the  intimate  life 
of   every   club. 

The  bald  eagle  is  the  emblem  of  our  United  States, 
the  American  laurel  our  national  flower,  and  the 
sycamore  has  been  suggested  as  our  national  tree. 
Think  what  it  will  mean  to  California's  natural  life  if 
every  club  will  choose  a  special  set  of  her  living 
emblems  to  represent  that  cjub's  septimepts  and 
spirit  of  conservation!  Many  of  our  Los  Angeles  dis- 
trict clubs  have  done  so  and  already  feel  a  pride  in 
their  new  possessions,  with  which  their  club  colors 
can  correspond,  and  from  which  may  be  woven  their 
slogans. 

Through  Mrs.  Francis  E.  Whitley,  chairman  of 
Conservation  of  Natural  Resources,  G.F.'W.C.  I  have 
lighted  the  candles  all  through  the  federated  clubs, 
asking  them  to  compete  with  our  California  clubs  at 
the    Biennial 

Lists  of  our  clubs  which  have  chosen  the  living  em- 
blems will  be  posted  with  the  conservation  exhibits  at 
State   and   Biennial   Conventions. 

Will  the  name  of  your  club  appear  upon  the  scroll? 

It  is  a  unique  conservation  movement — free  as  the 
air  we  breathe  and  involving  no  responsibility;  but 
it  holds  possibilities  in  its  influence  and  probabilities 
in  its  educational  value,  impossible  to  estimate. 

It  was  born  right  here  in  Los  Angeles  District  and 
is  already  a  lusty  infant;  but  needs  the  milk  of  human 
knidness   to   stimulate   its  growth. 


CHANGE — transition 
— progress.  Often 
mere  unrest  is  not 
justified,  but  quite  as  of- 
ten we  do  outgrow  our 
environment.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


TUESDAY  AFTERNOON  CLUB  OF  GLENDALE 


By  Eva  Daniels,  Chairman  of  Publicity 


The  Los  Angeles  District  Convention  is  a  thing  of 
the  past,  but  its  memory  will  linger  long  in  the  minds 
those  privileged  to  be  either  delegates  or  visitors  to 
the  hostess  club,  the  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glen- 
dale.  As  for  the  members  of  the  club,  who  in  every 
possible  way  did  their  utmost  to  aid  in  the  success 
of  the  undertaking,  they  too  received  benefits  which 
will  be  of  lasting  value.  The  saying,  "A  prophet  is 
without  honor  in  his  own  country,"  proved  untrue, 
for  to  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Toll,  president  of  the  District, 
and  a  Glendalian,  came  the  women,  not  only  of  the 
district  but  of  her  own  town,  with  tributes  of  love 
in  word  and  deed.  Floral  offerings  also  came,  so 
numerous  and  lovely,  that  the  stage  appeared  a  con- 
servatory of  exotic  blooms  at  all  times. 

Mrs.  Daniel  Campbell,  charming  president  of  the 
Tuesday  Afternoon  Club,  also  received  a  goodly  share 
of  deserved  commendation.  Her  report  of  the  year's 
work  brought  thunderous  applause  as  she  told  of  the 
$5,000  paid  on  the  principal  of  the  $50,000  debt  and 
the  fulfilling  of  the  $26,500  budget  for  the  year's  ex- 
penses. All  club  members  agree  that  no  little  part  of 
this  achievement  is  due  to  the  work  of  Mrs.  A.  H. 
Montgomery,  chairman  of  ways  and  means,  and  her 
co-operative  committee,  which  has  served  banquets, 
dinners  and  luncheons  throughout  the  year  to  several 
of  the  prominent  clubs  of  Glendale,  among  which  were 
the  Rotary,  Kiwanis,  Chamber  of  Commerce,  Exchange 
Cluli.  College  Women's  Club,  etc.  On  one  occasion 
she  was  called  into  the  banquet  room  where  all  men 
standing  toasted  her  with  words  of  friendship  and 
admiration. 

Mrs.  W.  E.  Evans'  selection  of  the  beautiful  house 
furnishings  was  praised  on  every  side  as  convention 
guests  spoke  in  enthusiastic  terms  of  the  lovely,  com- 
fortable,  homey   look   of   the   club   house. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Glendale  in  honor 
of  the  occasion,  issued  a  booklet,  its  front  cover  bear- 
ing the  inscription,  "Los  Angeles  District  Convention, 
California   Federation   of  Women's   Clubs,  April   8,   9, 


10,  1924."  One  of  each  was  beside  every  plate  at  the 
banquet  of  four  hundred  persons  which  closed  the 
session. 

The  Glendale  News  and  The  Glendale  Daily  Press, 
outshone  themselves,  as  convention  editions  arrived 
at  the  club  house  at  the  close  of  the  sessions  each 
day,  with  the  printed  words  which  were  spoken  a  few 
hours  earlier. 

Automobiles  were  placed  at  the  disposal  of  all 
guests  and  over  one  hundred  were  lined  up  for  those 
who  availed  themselves  of  the  privilege  of  the  tea 
at  Oakmont  Country  Club,  while  fifty  machines  were 
used  to  transport  the  guests  to  the  press  luncheon 
at  the  Egyptian  Village,  where  Mrs.  Leland  Atherton 
Irish,  press  chairman  of  the  district,  presided  over 
the  Press  Jinks,  which  was  a  splendid   affair. 

Another  feature  was  a  room  directly  across  the 
street  from  the  club  house  in  the  home  of  a  member, 
Mrs.  John  Robert  White,  which  was  devoted  to  press 
purposes  and  where  the  club  reporters  were  privileged 
to  do  their  typing,  and  to  rest,  if  so  inclined. 

Mrs.  A.  A.  Barton,  club  secretary  and  a  member  of 
the  Board,  performed  the  miracle  of  perpetual  motion 
as   she   gracefully   offered    direction    and    advice. 

Each  committee,  under  a  capable  chairman,  fulfilled 
its  allotted  duty  most  faithfully  and  as  the  departing 
guests  voiced  the  sentiment  in  unanimity,  "The  Best 
Convention  Ever,"  so  did  the  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club 
feel  the  glow  of  pride  and  thankfulness  of  having 
done  its  best,  and  as  its  president  said  in  her  banquet 
speech,  "Forget  those  things  which  did  not  please, 
and  on  leaving  remember  only  the  good,  and  all 
we  have  done  we  are  willing  to  do  again  in  the  lapse 
of   a    little   time." 

When  Mrs.  Toll  declared  the  adjournment  of  the 
twenty-third  convention  of  the  Los  Angeles  District, 
all  that  could  be  heard  on  every  side  as  the  guests 
were  leaving,  were  the  expressions  of  contented  satis- 
faction of  the  convention  as  a  whole,  and  the  courtesy 
of  the  Tuesday  Afternoon   Club   of   Glendale.

WEDNESDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

Mrs.  A.  D.  Flickender,  Press  Chairman 


Tne  Wednesday  Morning  Club  has  great  reason  for 
rejoicing,  as  during  this  year,  under  the  able  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  S.  B.  Welcome  as  president,  they  have 
been  able  to  lift  the  mortgage  on  the  club  house  and 
have  also  added  many  new  furnishings  to  their  al- 
ready well-furnished  club  house  for  the  comfort  and 
con\-en!ence  of  the  members  and  their  guests,  of  which 
there   are   many. 

Plans  have  been  made  to  improve  the  kitchen  quar- 
ters and  also  the  dining  hall  by  which  it  is  hoped  to 
be  able  to  better  care  for  those  who  are  able  to  take 
advantage  of  the  sumptuous  luncheons  that  are  served 
each  club  day.  A  building  committee  has  been  ap- 
pointed under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  H.  E.  Brett  as 
chairman,  to  see  to  the  improvements  being  made  so 
that  when  the  new  club  year  opens  they  will  have 
ample  facilities  to  take  care  of  the  growing  member- 
ship. 

At  the  present  time  the  club  is  deeply  interested 
in  the  purchase  of  a  traveling  picture  which  is  to  be 
the  property  of  the  federated  clubs  taking  part  in  the 
movement  to  acquire  it  and  w^hich  is  to  have  its 
home,  not  in  one  club,  but  it  is  to  make  a  short  sojourn 
in  the  home  of  all  those  that  it  will  be  able  to  claim 
as   its   parents. 

An  artists'  day  was  held  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Cal- 
houn, 639  Arden  Boulevard,  on  April  25,  at  which 
many  artists  of  note  were  the  guests  of  honor.  Each 
of  the  others  present  paid  one  dollar  for  the  privilege 
of  becoming  an  artist  for  that  day.  The  funds  accru- 
ing from  this  novel  feature  are  to  be  used  as  the 
club's  part  of  the  purchase  price  of  the  traveling 
picture. 


The  Shakespeare  section  has  been  unusually  busy 
this  year  as  they  have  studied  five  instead  of  four 
plays,  as  is  the  usual  number.  They  are  now  busy 
with  the  preparation  of  "As  You  Like  It"  to  be  ren- 
dered on  Shakespeare  Graduation  Day,  which  this 
year  will  be  on  May  21,  at  which  those  who  have 
shown  proficiency  in  the  study  of  the  poet's  works 
for  four  years  will  receive  their  diplomas  of  gradu- 
ation. 

The  drama  section  rendered  three  one-act  plays  on 
April  22,  in  the  preparation  of  which  they  took  great 
pains  so  as  to  continue  the  high  class  of  rendition 
that  it  has  always  been  the  purpose  of  this  section 
to  uphold.  The  titles  of  the  plays  were  "Hearts," 
by  Alice  Gerstenberg,  "Petticoat  Perfidi,"  by  Sir 
Charles  L.  Young,  and  "Fourteen,"  by  Alice  Ger- 
stenberg. All  the  parts  were  taken  by  members  of 
the  drama  section  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Edward 
Dvorak.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SANTA  MONICA  BAY  WOMAN'S   CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Albert  M.  Stanley 


The  dosing  months  of  the  club  year  bring  no  slow- 
ing of  activities  to  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's 
Club,  and  the  Executive  Board  meetings  seethe  vpith 
all  the  plans  that  are  brewing. 

Mrs.  N.  H.  Cornett  and  her  committee  are  perfect- 
ing plans  for  the  annual  Spring  Flower  Show,  which 
will  be  held  in  the  Club  House,  May  7,  8,  and  9.  The 
lovely  spring  rains  have  promised  a  wealth  of  flowers 
and  Santa  Monica  gardens  are  being  groomed  for 
prize-winning  exhibits.  Attractive  prizes  are  offered 
for  roses,  sweet  peas,  iris,  stock,  and  many  other 
flowers,  and  the  silver  cup  which  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  gives  is  always  an  object  of  keen  compe- 
tition. The  Club  Cook  Book  which  will  make  its 
appearance  during  the  Flower  Show,  is  being  awaited 
with  much  anticipation  for  it  will  contain  the  tried 
and  favorite  receipes  of  the  Bay  Districts'  culinary 
experts.  The  custom  of  inviting  the  school  children 
and  their  teachers  to  visit  the  Flower  Show  in  the 
mornings,  will  be  followed  again  this  year.  Delight- 
ful programs  in  the  evenings  will  be  an  added  attrac- 
tion. 

We  are  told  that  "coming  events  cast  their  shadows 
ahead,"  and  the  shadow  of  the  Biennial  Convention 
is  becoming  a  very  tangible  thing  to  the  members 
of  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club.  Many  of 
them  are  serving  on  various  committees  and  are  at- 
tending committee  meetings  and  working  out  plans 
with  a  determination  to  make  their  committee  reflect 
credit  not  only  on  the  hostess  state,  but  on  their  mother 
club  as  well.  Plans  for  the  convention  Play-Day  on 
June  7  include  a  day  in  the  Santa  Monica  Bay 
Woman's    Club,    the    Santa    Monica    Landmark    Club,

the  Sawtelle  Womans'  Club  and  the  Culver  City 
Woman's  Club,  combining  efforts  to  entertain  the 
guests.  Automobiles  will  bring  the  visitors  to  Santa 
Monica,  taking  in  points  of  interest  en  route,  and 
they  will  be  given  an  opportunity  of  seeing  how 
lovely  this  particular  bit  of  California  is.  Luncheon 
will  be  served  in  the  Santa  Monica  Club  House,  and 
then  the  excursionists  will  be  taken  to  the  beaches, 
where  those  who  care  to  do  so  may  taste  the  joys 
of  a  dip  in  the  surf,  and  those  who  find  the  amusement 
piers  more  interesting  may  ride  the  roller  coasters  or 
win  a  kewpie  doll.  Home  again,  by  way  of  Venice 
and  Culver  City,  will  finish  a  day  that  the  hostess 
clubs  hope  to  make  full  of  interest  and  entertainment. 
The  election  of  oflicers  the  end  of  May  has  placed 
a  number  of  splendid  candidates  in  the  field.  The 
choice  for  president  seems  to  be  Mrs.  Neil  S.  Duckels, 
the  present  second  vice-president,  who  has  proven  her 
ability  by  providing,  for  the  past  two  years,  weekly 
programs  of  unusual  excellence  which  have  been  a 
large  factor  in  the  growth  and  progress  of  the  Santa 
Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club.  Mrs.  Duckels  has  been 
a  member  of  the  club  for  many  years,  and  has  served 
in  various  capacities  with  quiet  efficiency  and  success, 
and  the  continued  prosperity  of  the  club  is  assured 
under  her  regime.  The  vice-president,  Mrs.  S.  L. 
Berkley,  will  again  hold  that  office.  The  many  friends 
of  Miss  Mae  Armstrong  feel  that  no  better  candidate 
can  be  offered  for  second  vice-president  and  program 
chairman.  Miss  Armstrong  has  served  with  con- 
spicuous success  as  art  chairman,  and  due  to  her  ef- 
forts the  club  has  purchased  three  fine  pictures  dur- 
ing the  past  three  years.     For  the  first  time  since  the

organization  of  the  club,  a  new  treasurer  will  be 
elected,  Mrs.  T.  G.  Lewis  being  the  candidate  for  the 
office.  Mrs.  N.  H.  Cornett,  whose  interest  in  and  love 
for  the  club  has  been  shown  by  seventeen  years  of 
active  service  as  treasurer,  will  relinquish  her  work 
this  year.  Mrs.  Lewis  has  served  the  club  in  many 
capacities,  and  is  now  president  of  the  Gleason  Parlia- 
mentary  Club,    in   Los   Angeles. 

The  programs  for  May  are  attractive  enough  to 
prevent  any  flagging  of  interest,  and  include  Fred- 
erick Warde,  Mrs.  H.  W.  Livingood,  whose  appear- 
ances before  the  club  are  always  eagerly  anticipated, 
and  Professor  Baumgardt,  who  will  give  an  illus- 
trated talk  on  Egypt,  where  he  spent  several  months 
last  year. 

SOUTH  SIDE  EBELL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  E.  }f.  Finley,  Press  C hairman 

"In  as  much  as  ye  have  done  it  unto  the  least  of 
these,  ye  have  done  it  unto  me." 

While  the  convention  was  in  session,  most  of  us 
thought  of  it,  and  the  good  derived  therefrom  for  us, 
individually.  Some,  however,  ever  thoughtful  of 
others,  and  especially  the  less  fortunate  children  who 
are  confined  in  our  institutions  thought  of  both,  and 
prepared  most  wonderfully.  There  being  no  club 
meeting  this  week,  gave  us  an  opportunity'  to  put  in  an 
extra  day  in  another  way,  lor  which  all  wtre  splen- 
didly repaid. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Martha  Neldor,  cura- 
tor of  the  Crippled  Children's  Guild  section  of  South 
Side  Ebell  Club  several  others,  among  them  Mrs.  F. 
Strong.  Mrs.  George  Salm,  Mrs.  N.  Ruble,  and  teach- 
ers of  the  Sixth  Avenue  school  and  their  students, 
seventy-five  in  number,  made  dainty  little  Easter 
baskets  of  crepe  paper,  colored  eggs  and  gathered 
up  a  lot  of  Easter  candy.  These  were  all  combined 
and  these  friends  of  the  children  went  for  a  visit  to 
the  Orthopedic  Hospital,  where  they  were  joined  by 
Mrs.  Johnson,  who  brought  the  last  but  not  the  least, 
five  dozen  lovely  china  dolls,  to  add  to  the  treat  of 
the  little  tots  in  the  hospital. 

The  gathering  was  greeted  at  the  doors  by  Mrs. 
Bingham,  the  superintendent,  and  Mrs.  Fields,  ma- 
tron, who  assisted  them  in  mobilizing  on  the  lawn  in 
front  of  the  building,  where  Easter  songs  \vere  sung. 
songs  such  as  would  appeal  to  the  little  people  in  the 
hospital. 

From  there  the  gathering  entered  the  first  ward, 
second  ward,  and  so  on  until  all  had  been  visited. 
The  larger  boys  were  included  in  the  festivities. 
Could  you  have  seen  the  smiles  and  happy  faces  of 
the  children,  you  would  all  want  to  take  part  in 
these  most  worth-while  affairs. 

This  section  was  formed  under  the  presidency  of 
Mrs.  Salm,  who  was  chosen  its  first  curator. 

Under  the  leadership  of  our  president,  Mrs.  M.  T. 
Whiting,  a  new  section  has  been  added  this  year. 
Home  Economics,  with  Mrs.  F.  Spring  as  curator. 
This  section  in  home  training  has  combined  with  that 
on  civic  interests,  and  meetings  conducted  along  these 
lines  are  being  held  once  a  month,  followed  by  a  din- 
ner in  the  evening  to  the  husbands  and  friends  who 
may  be  interested. 

Everybody  is  happy  and  working  hard  for  the 
biennial;  our  dues  to  the  District,  State  and  Federa- 
tion are  paid  and  an  offering  of  thirty  dollars  toward 
the  Memorial  home  in  Washington  has  been  made. 

We  held  our  election  of  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year  last  week,  and  as  a  result,  Mrs.  Edward  Mo- 
berry  was  almost  unanimously  elected  president. 
Among  others  elected  are  Mrs.  Spring,  first  vice 
president;  Mrs.  K.  Thimgen,  recording  secretary; 
Mrs.  F.  Dove,  treasurer;  Mrs.  L.  Allinson,  financial 
secretary;  Mrs.  Easter  Blakeney,  corresponding  sec- 
retary;  Agnes   Zucarro,   curtoi.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SOME  BIRD  CHARACTERISTICS 

By  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo 


There  is  a  beautiful  garden  in  Whittier,  with 
shrubs,  climbing  vines,  flowering  plants  and  trees. 
Half  hidden  among  this  greenery  is  a  bird  path  and 
food  tables,  which  many  wise  birds  have  found  and 
claim  for  their  own.  Mrs.  E.  J.  Saunders,  who  pre- 
sides over  this  ideal  resort,  has  told  me  many  stories 
about  her  birds,  some  of  which  1  am  sharing  with 
the  readers  of  the  Clubwoman. 

In  the  garden  one  evening,  sitting  on  the  edge  of 
the  bird  bath,  was  our  little  Alaska  Hermit  Thrush. 
He  had  been  with  us  all  winter  and  had  learned  to 
be  very  friendly,  so  I  was  startled  to  see  him  with 
his  feathers  all  fluffed  up  and  his  mouth  wide  open 
in  hectic  rage.  He  looked  "just  plain  mad"  about 
something  and  that  something  proved  to  be  another 
thrush  sitting  on  the  ground.  Investigating  with  my 
bird  glasses,  I  saw  that  the  interloper  was  a  Russet- 
Backed  Thrush.  Both  of  these  thrushes  are  tourists 
with  us.  The  Alaska  Hermit,  as  his  name  implies, 
lives  in  the  extreme  north,  where  he  raises  his  fam- 
ily and  spends  the  summer,  but  he  comes  south  every 
winter  on  account  of  the  climate.  His  cousin,  the 
Russet-Back,  brings  his  wife  and  locates  with  us  for 
the  summer,  but  when  his  family  is  old  enough  to 
travel  he  goes  south  into  lower  California  and  Mexico 
for  the  winter.  This  time  Mr.  Russet-Back  came  a 
little  early  into  the  domain  of  Alaska  Hermit,  hence 
his  disturbance  and  early  departure  for  the  north. 

That  there  is  an  inborn  antipathy  between  some 
families  of  birds  is  illustrated  by  this  little  story. 
Robin  was  in  the  bird  bath.  Brewer  Blackbird  flew 
down  from  the  pine  tree  to  the  bird's  bread  table. 
Robin  was  going  through  his  ablutions  preparatory  to 
dining  and  objected  to  Brewer  getting  in  ahead  on 
the  first  course,  so  he  threw  up  his  head  and  made 
faces  at  Brewer  by  running  out  his  tongue  several 
times.  Another  Blackbird  joined  Brewer  and  Robin 
gave  him  the  same  unfriendly  greeting.  Do  birds 
have  feelings? 

Early  one  morning  in  March  an  amusing  sight, 
which  might  have  turned  out  a  tragedy,  was  seen 
on  the  lawn.  A  black  Phoebe  seemed  to  be  caught 
and  pulling  away  from  something.  Drawing  nearer 
behold  a  Spurred  Towhee  holding  Phoebe  by  the 
tail !  It  was  a  "tug  of  war,"  but  Phoebe  came  off 
conqueror  and  carried  her  tail  with  her.  Towhee 
looked  really  peeved   about  her  getting  away. 

Two  gorgeous  male  Arizona  Hooded  Orioles  met 
in  a  large  peach  tree.  They  approached  one  another 
bowing  and  scraping,  advancing  and  retreating,  but 
steadily  working  toward  the  center  of  the  tree  then 
over  to  the  farther  side.  This  maneuver  continued 
for  more  than  five  minutes.  Were  they  playing  a 
game?  Had  one  been  a  female  it  might  have  been  a 
pre-nuptial  courting  scene.  Perhaps  they  were  prac- 
ticing while  waiting  for  their  mates  to  arrive  from 
the  south.  The  male  Orioles  always  come  in  advance 
of  the  females  and  locate  for  the  summer. 

LOS    ANGELES    AUDUBON    SOCIETY 

At  its  meeting  in  April  the  Los  Angeles  Audubon 
Society  honored  its  outgoing  president  by  making 
her  president  emeritus.  Mrs.  Bicknell  has  served 
this  organization  as  president  faithfully,  ardently  and 
lovingly  for  eight  years.  She  has  brought  it  from  a 
small,  inconspicuous  club  to  one  that  is  known  from 
the  Pacific  to  the  Atlantic.  She  has  given  the  whole 
of  herself,  her  time,  her  energy,  her  talents  and  her 
financial  support  to  this  work,  which  is  her  life.  She 
has  accumulated  a  large  library  of  bird  and  nature 
books  and  has  written  voluminously  on  these  sub- 
jects in  magazines  and  papers.  The  society  belongs 
to  the  National  Association  of  Audubon  Societies  in 
New  York  and   is  also  federated  with  other  women's 


clubs.  It  is  in  good  standing  with  members  of  the 
Ornithological  Department  of  the  Biological  Survey 
in  Washington,  D.  C. 

In  losing  her  as  president,  Mrs.  Bicknell  was  not 
allowed  to  step  down  and  out  but  it  put  upon  a 
pedestal  from  which  she  may  have  a  wider  vision 
to  still  go  on  with  this  work  so  long  as  she  may  live. 

All  honor  to  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bicknell,  president  emeritus 
of  the  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society.

LOS    ANGELES    SOROPTIMIST 
CLUB 

By  Elizabeth   Boivman    Tomimson,  Secretary 

Articles  have  appeared  in  these  columns  telling 
the  "why"  of  the  Soroptimist  Club,  and  its  purposes; 
now,   a  word  about  its  activities. 

The  president  of  our  Soroptimist  Club,  Mrs.  Harry 
G.  Henley,  has  proven  a  most  capable  leader.  Under 
her  able  direction,  the  club  is  now  in  the  midst  of  an 
intensive  membership  drive. 

Mrs.  Sadie  A.  Lyon,  chairman  of  this  campaign,  is 
a  most  enthusiastic  booster.  Group  captains  have 
been  appointed  and  are  bringing  in  many  applica- 
tions. 

.\l  the  first  installation  banquet  of  the  Baby  Sorop- 
timist Club  of  Long  Beach,  Mrs.  Henley  was  the 
principal  speaker.  Her  splendid  address  was  inter- 
spersed with  ever-ready  wit.  A  number  of  other 
Los  Angeles  Soroptimists  were  present.  Dr.  Delia 
Hubbard  gave  an  excellent  outline  of  the  formation 
of  the  first  Soroptimist  Club.  Past  President  Mrs. 
Oda  Faulconer  was  the  efficient  installing  officer. 

Mrs.  Aletha  Gilbert,  City  Mother,  was  the  sucsess- 
ful  chairman  of  the  day,  when  the  club  recently 
entertained  Chief  of  Police  Vollmer,  his  captains  and 
the  City  Mothers'  Bureau,  four  of  whom  are  Sorop- 
timist Club  members.  The  chief  gave  a  very  educa- 
tional address,  urging  all  to  vote  for  the  police  bond 
issue,  thereby  protecting  our  city. 

The  police  department  invited  the  Soroptimist  Club 
to  the  Lincoln  Heights  jail,  not  for  arrest,  but  for 
luncheon.  Mrs.  Henley  acted  as  toastmistress.  Many 
members  were  present,  and  enjoyed  an  excellent 
program.

HOLLENBECK  EBELL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  P.  H.  Marlette,  Press  Chairman 
Shortly  after  Mrs.  J.  F.  McCormick  entered  as 
president  of  this  club  a  new  section  was  created, 
that  of  "Rambler."  Mrs.  C.  W.  Harrison  was  put 
in  charge  and  every  fifth  Wednesday  of  a  month 
was  set  aside  for  its  activities.  About  twenty-five 
members  avail  themselves  of  this  excellent  opportu-

WA-WAN  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Walter  H.  Boyd,  Press  Chairman 
Among  the  latest  achievements  of  the  Wa-Wan 
Club  is  the  purchase  of  a  two  hundred  and  fifty  dol- 
lar player-piano  for  the  World  War  Veterans  at 
Sawtelle,  to  be  used  in  their  mess  hall.  The  Altru- 
istic Section  provides  two  programs  each  month  for 
the  boys,  and  weekly  sings  are  held  at  Juvenile  Hall, 
besides  ward  singing  every  week  at  County  Hospital 
and  one  radio  program  given  each  month.  Nine 
hundred  admissions  have  been  secured  for  the  men 
at  Sawtelle  to  the  Morosco,  Majestic  and  Orpheum 
theaters.  Philharmonic  Orchestra,  Behymer  concerts 
and  ball  games.  At  Christmas  time  one  hundred 
seventy-five  gift  boxes  were  taken  to  the  boys,  twenty- 
eight  good  suits  of  clothes,  twenty-nine  overcoats  and 
other  clothing. 

We  have  established  a  budget  system,  have  $1500 
out  on  interest  and  $200  in  Liberty  Bonds.  The  club 
incorporated  last  spring  and  has  a  Junior  and  Juve- 
nile Auxiliary  which  are  federated.  This  has  been 
accomplished  on  $3  and  $4  dues  and  by  the  efforts  of 
the  efficient  president,  Mrs.  William  E.   Mabee. 


SANTA    MONICA    LANDMARK 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  X.  JVilmot.  President 

The  Santa  Monica  Landmark  Club  has  the  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  only  club  of  its  kind  in  the 
district. 

This  club  was  organized  one  year  ago  last  Janu- 
ary, with  a  limited  membership  of  twenty-five.  The 
object  is  the  study  of  California  History  and  Land- 
marks, to  help  in  the  preservation  of  historical  spots, 
history  and   romance  of  the   "Golden  State." 

Two  members  entertain  the  second  Tuesday  in 
each  month  with  a  cafeteria  luncheon.  After  a  dainty 
repast  and  a  delightful  social  hour,  the  business  of 
the  club  is  taken  up  and  disposed  of.  The  remainder 
of  the  afternoon  is  given  over  to  a  program  on  Cali- 
fornia history  and  items  of  current  interest. 

During  the  sixteen  months  since  the  organization 
of  the  club,  the  members  have  given  an  El  Camino 
Real  bell,  a  bench  in  Brand  Memory  Park,  dedicated 
to  the  memory  of  John  C.  Fremont,  placed  the  name 
of  the  club  on  the  Golden  Scroll  of  the  McGroarty 
Foundation  Fund  and  already  has  a  generous  amount 
in  the  treasury  towards  a  fountain  to  be  placed  in 
Palisades  Park,  Santa  Monica,  in  memory  of  Juan 
Rodriguez  Cabrillo,  who  was  the  first  navigator  to 
discover  our  Crescent  Bay. 


One  evening  each  month  a  card  party  is  given  by 
one  of  the  members,  when  husbands  and  friends 
gather  for  a  social  evening  and  incidentally  to  help 
raise  funds  for  the  work.

By  Mrs.  Arthur  Coivdin 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Woman's  Club,  held  on 
Friday,  April  11,  at  the  W.  L  Clubhouse,  was  a  very

and  the  new  salute  to  the  flag.

Annual  election  of  officers  is  sometimes  an  exciting 
event,  but  the  ticket  presented  by  the  nomination

Bruce  Brown;   Curator,   Mrs.  F.  E.  Lettenay. 

Mrs.  Carpentier  has  given  the  club  an  unusually 
successful  administration  during  the  past  year,  and 
has  proved  herself  to  be  a  leader  with  tact,  charm 
and  ability. 

A  large  number  of  members  attended  the  conven- 
tion at  Glendale  and  our  delegate,  Mrs.  James  Baker, 
read  a  comprehensive  and  inspiring  report  of  the 
proceedings. 

The  constitution  and  by-laws  are  up  for  revision, 
and  the  discussion  and  comments  were  very  interest- 
ing. 

Mrs.  Lilian  Porter  made  a  most  enjoyable  talk  on 
the  new  "Girls'  Business  Club,"  which  is  sponsored 
by  the  Business  and  Professional  Women's  Club  of 
Los  Angeles. 

A  great  effort  is  being  put  forth  to  secure  a  fund 
to  build  a  new  club  home,  w^hich  "will  meet  the  needs 
of  young  women,  who  must  make  their  own  way  in 
the  world. 

Miss  Orfa  Jean  Shontz  is  at  the  head  of  this  move- 
ment, which   should   be  of  interest  to   every  woman. 

After  the  luncheon  at  noon,  Mrs.  Hot  Johnson  di- 
rected the  lesson  in  the  English  Section,  and  reviewed 
Arnold  Bennett's  "Riceyman's  Steps."  Mrs.  Johnson 
has  made  the  English  Section  so  attractive  that  the 
class  is  always  crowded. 

The  Music  Section  met  Monday,  April  21,  at  the 
Methodist  Church.  Miss  McPherson  is  very  much 
pleased   with  the  progress  made  by  the   Club   Chorus. 

The  Woman's  Club  is  very  much  interested  in  all 
club  matters,  and  has  recently  joined  the  General 
Federation,  and  paid  its  quota  toward  the  entertain- 
ment fund  for  the  Biennial.  Two  of  our  members 
have  received  appointments  on  the  Biennial  Commit- 
tees: Mrs.  F.  E.  Lettenay  on  the  Distribution  of  Lit- 
erature, and  Mrs.  Maude  Plumley  on  the  Bureau  of 
Information. 


THE  WOMAN'S  OSTEOPATHIC 
CLUB 

Several    famous   women    are   members    of   this   club. 

Dr.  Clara  Judson  Stillman  of  Pasadena  is  one  of 
the  trustees  of  the  A.  T.  Still  Research  Institute,  Chi-

good  work  each  year  among  the  poor  of  Los  Angeles. 

Dr.  Eva  Coffey  will  address  the  American  Osteo- 
pathic Association  in  Kirksville,  Mo.,  this  May. 

Dr.  Jane  Bashor  and  Dr.  Olive  Clarke  of  Los  An- 
geles represented  this  club  at  the  jail  luncheon 
April  4. 

Dr.  Lora  B.  Emery  of  Los  Angeles  has  charge  of 
the  California  Women's  exhibit  at  Kirksville,  May 
25,  1924.  Dr.  Emery  has  played  an  important  part 
in  the  organization  of  the  Osteopathic  Women's  Na- 
tional Association,  as  well  as  in  the  conduct  of  the 
Los  Angeles  and  the  California  women's  organiza- 
tions. 


CLIFF-DWELLINGS  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Lula  D.  Miller,  President 
The  object  of  the  Cliff  Dwellings  Club  is  to  develop 
the  intellect,  especially  in  the  study  of  archaeology 
and  art  and  to  add  cliff  dwellings  relics  to  our  col- 
lection in  the  Southwest  Museum.  This  club  was 
organized  as  a  branch  of  the  Colorado  Cliff  Dwell- 
ings Association,  November  6,  1905,  and  joined  the 
District  and  State  Federation  in  January,  1906.  We 
have  just  been  admitted  to  the  General  Federation. 
We  meet  monthly  at  the  homes  of  the  members,  serv- 
ing luncheon,  followed  with  the  business  meeting  and 
a  program  on  archaeological  subjects — this  year,  "Lit- 
tle Known  Archaeological  Paths  of  the  World."  Our 
first  meeting  was  given  over  to  an  address  by  Wil- 
liam McGinnis,  "A  Ramble  Through  the  Land  of  the

Cliff  Dwellers."  All  in  all,  the  year  has  been  most 
interesting  and  profitable.  Recently  we  added  a 
piece  of  pottery  to  our  case  in  the  Southwest  Museum, 
acquired  by  Dr.  Charles  F,  Lummis  and  purchased 
by  us  from  him. 

We  have  also  placed  a  Habitat  of  Spruce  Tree 
House  (Mesa  Verde)  in  a  niche  of  the  tunnel  lead- 
ing to  the  elevator  of  the  Southwest  Museum.  We 
are  justly  proud  of  this  replica  of  an  old  Cliff 
Dwelling. 


AZUSA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Ruby  La  Verte  Thomson,  Press  Chairman 

The  club  year  is  now  rapidly  drawing  to  a  close 
and  the  Azusa  Woman's  Club  feels  that  it  has  indeed 
been  most  successful.  Aside  from  the  accomplish- 
ments of-  both  a  financial  and  constructive  nature,  the 
morale  of  the  organization  has  been  strengthened  to 
the  point  where  each  member  justly  feels  that  the 
club  belongs  to  her,  that  she  is  of  the  club  and  that 
she  must  be,  in  part,  responsible  for  its  welfare. 

The  meetings  are  attended  as  never  before  and  the 
intense  interest  of  the  members  is  patent  to  the  most 
casual  of  obsrvers.  This  very  desirable  condition  is 
due  not  only  to  the  truly  excellent  programs  which 
have  been  presented  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  W. 
C.  Constant,  program  chairman,  but  also  to  the 
admirably  hospitable  management  of  the  club  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  B.  F.  Spriggs.  Hers  has  been  a  glowing 
example  of  highly  efficient,  self-effacing  leadership. 
She  has  been  ever  on  the  outlook  for  clever,  construc- 
tive ideas,  giving  a  full  measure  of  praise  to  each 
member  for  work  accomplished,  feeling  herself  amply 
repaid   by  the   benefits   accruing   to   the   club. 

It  is  with  genuine  regret  that  the  members  learn 
than  Mrs.  Spriggs  will  not  accept  the  presidency  for 
another  term  and  to  her  and  the  other  hard-working 
members  of  the  executive  board  go  the  thanks  and 
gratitude  of  the  entire  club. 


REDLANDS    CONTEMPORARY 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.  A.  Kimberly 

So  many  requests  have  been  received  for  informa- 
tion regarding  our  Junior  Club  work  that  the  follow- 
ing may  be  of  interest: 

The  Junior  League  of  the  Redlands  Contemporary 
Club  was  organized  in  June,  1916. 

The  object  of  the  organization  is  to  train  the  young 
ladies:  first,  to  have  ideas,  and  secondly,  to  stand 
before  an  audience  mentally  and  physically  poised 
and  express  their  ideas  clearly,  concisely  and  effec- 
tively. In  other  words,  to  train  them  for  alert  and 
efficient  club  women. 

The  officers  of  the  League  are  president,  vice  pres- 
ident, secretary  and  treasurer,  elected  for  one  year. 

Th  Junior  League  is  in  charge  of  five  patronesses, 
one  of  whom  must  be  a  member  of  the  board  of 
directors  of  the  Contemporary  Club. 

The  rules  governing  the  Junior  League  are  the 
same  as  those  governing  the  Contemporary  Club. 

Membership  is  limited  to  fifty,  because  the  time  at 
our  disposal  will  not  permit  the  handling  of  a  larger 
number  to  advantage. 

Vacancies  are  filled  from  the  waiting  list,  and 
voted  upon  by  the  club.  Age  limit  is  from  fourteen  to 
twenty-one,  at  which  time  the  junior  is  eligible  to 
membership  in  the  parent  club. 

The  initiation  fee  is  $5.00  and  the  dues  $1.00  annu- 
ally. 

The  Junior  League  meets  each  week  during  the 
club  year  on  Saturday  morning  at  9:30.  The  order 
of    business    is    that    prescribed    by    Roberts    Rules    of 


THE  AVERILL  STUDY  CLUB 

By  Harriette  L.  Rundel,  Press  Chairman 

The  Averill  Study  Club  is  trying  to  make  the  most 
of  its  privileges  and  feels  that  this  club  year  has 
been  a  prosperous  one.  We  have  reported  its  doings 
and  interests  from  time  to  time,  and  have  enjoyed 
reading  reports  given  in  The  Clubwoman  of  other 
small  clubs,  for  we  sometimes  gather  inspiration  for 
better  work  by  knowing  what  is  helping  others. 

This  month  our  programs  have  been  entertaining 
and  helpful.  On  April  1  a  talk  by  Mr.  D.  K.  Thomas, 
City  Commercial  Manager  of  the  Western  Union 
Telegraph  Company,  was  full  of  entertaining  infor- 
mation. April  8  was  also  excellent,  with  current 
events,  music,  a  reading  by  Barbara  Brinkerhoff  and 
a  talk  on  "Our  Clinic"  by  Mrs.  E.  Fletcher  Scott, 
Extension  Chairman,  Los  Angeles  Parent-Teachers' 
Association. 

A  large  delegation  of  members  attended  the  con- 
vention at  Glendale  on  April  9.  The  other  programs 
of  the  month  are  to  include  a  talk  on  "Why  Crime 
Does  Not  Pay,"  by  Nick  Harris,  and  a  drama  pro- 
gram, "The  Path  of  the  Padres,"  a  play  given  bv 
the  Hollenbeck  Ebell  Club. 

April  22  was  a  social  afternoon  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  Charles  E.  Wright. 

May  will  feature,  among  other  things,  the  election 
of  officers  for  next  year.  This  club  year  closes  with 
a  picnic  on  the  fourth  Tuesday  of  May. 


Order,  with  the  addition  of  the  pledge  following 
roll-call.     This  pledge  is: 

"I  pledge  my  loyalty  to  the  Junior  League  by  doing 
better  than  ever  before,  what  work  I  have  to  do; 

By  being  prompt,  honest  and  courteous; 

By    living    each    day    trying    to    accomplish    some-

thing — not  merely  to  exist — and  above  all,  by  believ- 
ing that  it  pays  to  know  the  truth — and  to  follow   it." 

Instruction  is  given  in  oral  English,  psycho-physical 
culture,  current  events,  story  telling  and  study  of  the 
drama. 

The  alternate  classes  in  dancing  are  given  both 
regular  and  corrective  technique,  together  with  inter- 
pretative dancing  and   pantomime. 

Practical  work  in  domestic  science  has  been  added 
this  year.  The  young  ladies  are  divided  into  five 
groups  and  under  an  accredited  instructor,  each  pre- 
pares and  serves  a  monthly  luncheon  to  members  and 
invited  guests,  the  chief  object  of  which  is  to  teach 
not  only  how  to  preside,  but  how  to  give  and  respond 
to  toasts. 

The  Junior  League  is  affiliated  with  the  senior  club 
as  a  branch  organization.  It  is,  in  reality,  a  prepar- 
atory course  for  all  club  activities. 

The  juniors  conduct  their  own  business  affairs,  in- 
dependent of  the  senior  club. 

Membership  in  the  Junior  League  admits  to  all 
senior  club  programs. 

In  view  of  their  varied  and  efficient  work,  the 
young  ladies  are  universally  in  demand  to  assist  in 
pageantry  and   all  community  service  work. 

The  Junior  League  is  also  affiliated  with  the  Na- 
tional Drama  League  of  America. 

Sources  of  revenue  are  from  regular  dues,  initia- 
tion fees,  club  dances  and   dramatic  entertainments. 

They  are  now  working  for  an  endowment  fund  to 
perpetuate  the   work  of  the  Junior  League. 

Every  girl  is  to  be  present  in  uniform;  to  be  punc- 
tual, courteous  and  considerate  of  others;  to  accept 
cheerfully  any  duty  assigned  her, — and  at  all  times 
and  upon  all  occasions  to  fulfill  the  requirements  of 
her  pledge.

VACATION  HOME  LEAGUE 

By  Miss  Gola  Irene  Beagle,  Press  Chairman 

The  Vacation  Home  League,  1503  Grand  Canal, 
Venice,  will  elect  officers  May  7  for  the  coming  year. 
The  Home  has  never  been  in  such  prosperous  condi- 
tion and  during  this  last  year  many  changes  have 
been  made.  In  May  a  much  needed  addition  is  to 
be  built — a  sun-room  12x48,  along  the  west  side  of 
the  building.  The  money  has  been  raised  in  various 
ways,  including  a  weekly  card  party.  In  February 
the  city  commissioners  of  Santa  Monica  donated  the 
Municipal  Auditorium  in  which  a  dance  was  held. 
The  local  carpenter's  union  will  give  one  day's  serv- 
ices free  toward   building  the  room. 

This  is  indeed  a  rest  home  and  a  vacation  home 
in  all  its  full  meaning  for  tired  working  girls  and 
women.  Everything  is  free  to  "the  guests"  and  all 
are  made  very  welcome.     It  is  non-sectarian. 

June  4  is  the  annual  donation  party.  'We  are  very 
glad  to  accept  anything — staple  foodstuffs  or  house 
furnishings,  linens,  etc.  A  very  cordial  invitation  is 
extended   to  all. 

Miss  Martha  Holliday,  house  manager,  is  always 
very  glad  to  show  the  home  at  any  time  and  tell  of 
the  wonderful  work  which  is  being  done. 


ELSINORE  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Edna  H.  McCoy,  Press  Chairman 
A    clubhouse   for    the   Elsinore    Woman's    Club    has 
been  this  year's  slogan. 

Mrs.  Isabel  Norris  donated  a  lot  and  $5,000  and 
the  amount  has  since  been  increased  by  nearly  $3,000. 
Under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  W.  E.  Hawkes,  chair- 
man of  the  ways  and  means  committee,  the  amount 
is  steadily  growing  and  a  beautiful  building  is  as- 
sured.

Among  prominent  outside  speakers  this  year  have 
been  John  Steven  McGroarty  and  Prudence  Penny. 
Both  meetings  were  open  to  the  public. 

Several  new  sections  are  being  planned  for  next 
year.  The  membership  has  almost  reached  the  hun- 
dred mark  and  is  steadily  increasing. 

Next  year's  officers  will  be:  Mrs.  R.  H.  Kirkpat- 
rick,  president;  Mrs.  T.  J.  Horton,  vice  president, 
Mrs.  L.  M.  Waddell,  recording  secretary;  Mrs.

plans. 


EBELL  OF  SIGNAL  HILL 

By  Mrs.  Louis  J.  Gillespie,  Press  Chairman 
Ebell  Club  of  Signal  Hill,  with  Mrs.  M.  H.  Taylor 
as   president,   is   maintaining  its   usual   high   standing, 
having  established  two  new  committees  this  year — the 
Social  Welfare  and   Indian  Welfare  committees. 

Much  interest  has  been  taken  in  the  American 
Indian.  Trips  have  been  made  to  a  number  of  In- 
dian reservations  giving  food  and  clothing  to  the 
old  and  disabled  Indians  that  have  no  support  from 
our  government.  A  keen  interest  has  been  shown  in 
the  affairs  of  the  five  civilized  tribes  of  Oklahoma. 
The  club  members  voted  unanimously  to  indorse 
Senate  Bill  2313,  pertaining  to  affairs  of  the  Okla- 
homa Indians  being  turned  back  to  the  Department 
of  the  Interior;  Senate  Bill  2015  for  the  adjudication 
of  Pueblo  Indian  lands;  and  Senate  Bill  966  for  the 
building  of  San  Carlos  Dam  in  Arizona,  benefitting 
the  Pima  Indians. 

Mrs.  Taylor,  the  president,  attended  the  conven- 
tion at  Glendale  and  gave  the  detail  of  this  year's 
club  work.  The  Ebell  Club  of  Signal  Hill  is  a  study 
club,  with  thirty  live,  active  members,  meeting  every 
second  and  fourth  Wednesday  with  a  luncheon,  a 
social  enjoyment  which  binds  our  members  together 
with  the  love  of  one  big  family.  Besides  being  a 
study  club,  much  time  is  devoted  to  philanthropic 
work. 


MARY  WILLIAMS  CLUB  OF 
AVALON 

By  Mrs.  F.  H.  Ott,  Press  Chairman 
The  meeting  of  the  Mary  Williams   Club  on   April 
24  was  a  red-letter  day,  as  Mrs.  Toll,  district  presi- 
dent, was  the  guest  of  the  club   at  the  club   luncheon 
given  at  Hotel  St.  Catherine. 

The  Easter  sunrise  service,  given  under  the  aus- 
pices of  the  Mary  Williams  Club,  was  ushered  in  by 
Boy  Scout  buglers.  Mrs.  Lillian  Burkhart  Goldsmith 
of  Los  Angeles  gave  the  Easter  talk.  There  was  a 
cornet  solo,  a  selection  by  the  male  quartette,  com- 
munity singing,   prayer   and   benediction. 

This  was  the  fifth  annual  event  of  the  kind  for 
the  island. 


THE  WOMAN'S  IMPROVE- 
MENT CLUB  OF  BISHOP 

By  Mrs.  F.  E.  Hoii'ard,  President 
The  Woman's  Improvement  Club  of  Bishop,  Inyo 
County,  has  had  some  very  interesting  arid  instructive 
programs  during  the  year.  These  programs  have 
been  arranged  by  the  chairman  of  the  departments 
on  Art,  Civics,  Music,  Citizenship  and  Home  Eco- 
nomics. 

One  of  the  most  instructive  and  enjoyable  pro- 
grams was  given  on  February  28.  At  this  time  the 
Home   Department  ladies   of  the   Farm  Bureaus   were 


guests  of  the  club.     The  program  consisted  of  "Help- 
ful Hints  for  Housewives." 

East  lady  was  asked  to  come  prepared  to  tell  of 
some  one  thing  that  she  felt,  perhaps,  she  could  do 
better  than  anyone  else,  or  to  give  some  special 
recipe,  or  tell  of  some  utensil  that  she  found  most 
convenient  in  the  kitchen,  some  special  piece  of  needle- 
work or  anything  that  she  thought  would  be  of  inter- 
est to  the  other  ladies.  Among  the  demonstrations 
given  were  special  stitches  in  needlework,  the  use  of 
a  cake  mixer  and  tying  and  dyeing  a  silk  kimono. 
The  ladies  went  home  feeling  that  they  had  received 
many  "Helpful  Hints,"  having  also  spent  an  enjoy- 
able afternoon. 

The  club  assisted  the  other  federated  clubs  in  the 
city  in  giving  a  White  Elephant  Sale  for  the  benefit 
of  the  disabled  soldiers.     The  sum  realized  was  $236. 


MINERVA  CLUB  OF  SANTA 
MARIA 

By  Mrs.  0.  M.  Cannon,  Press  Chairman 

The  Minerva  Library  Club  has  just  completed  a 
very  satisfactory  year.  The  success  is  largely  due 
to  the  retiring  president,  Mrs.  Frank  Gates,  who  has 
piloted  the  members  through  a  most  progressive  and 
inspirational  year.  A  number  of  delightful  literary 
programs  have  been  enjoyed  by  the  club  members, 
who  have  also  had  the  privilege  of  hearing  some 
wonderful  speakers  of  the  county,  district  and  state 
officers,  together  with  study  in  parliamentary  law. 

Two  important  events  included  in  the  year's  work 
that  is  sponsored  by  the  Minerva  Library  Club  are  a 
Dahlia  Show  in  August  and  a  Sweet  Pea  Festival  in 
May.  Fifty  tons  of  sweet  pea  seed  are  shipped  from 
this  valley  every  year.  The  Santa  Maria  Valley 
Show  has  developed  into  a  wonderful  aiid  interesting 
fete.  All  dahlia  growers  are  invited  to  display  in 
the  exhibit.  Beautiful  prizes  are  donated  by  the 
different  business  firms. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  a  new  club  home,  for 
which  ways  and  means  are  being  planned,  and  we 
hope  to  see  them  develop  this  year  into  a  reality.  We 
are  thankful  we  are  busy  women,  able  to  do  our 
work  and  to  be  useful,  to  find  in  life  the  joy  of  liv- 
ing it. 


NEWHALL  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Nina  B.  Wright,  President 

A  delightful  entertainment  was  put  on  by  the  New- 
hall  Woman's  Club  at  their  April  meeting,  when 
twelve  ladies  arrayed  in  Colonial  costumes  carried 
the  entire  program  in  a  patriotic  and  Colonial  fashion. 

Mrs.  Walton  Young  acted  as  chairman,  assisted  by 
Mesdames  McDermott,  Dawson,  Gibson,  Lane,  Tay- 
lor, Thibaudeau,  Kee,  Woodard,  and  Rolls.  Judge 
Powell,  who  is  in  his  eighties  and  who  is  beloved  by 
the  whole  community,  gave  short  reminiscences  of 
childhood  days  spent  in  the  shadow  of  Bunker  Hill

ladies.  Refreshments  were  served  by  ladies  in  Colo-

Preceding  the  program,  a  short  business  session 
was  held,  in  which  two  delegates  were  named  for 
the  State  Convention  to  be  held  in  Pasadena,  viz.: 
Mesdames  Lane  and  Woodard,  and  one  for  the  Bien-

As  a  mark  of  respect  to  Mrs.  Brainerd,  for  whom

was  in  session,  a  moment's  pause  was  observed. 

An  entertainment  was  given  April  12,  Mesdames 
Miller  and  Carr  having  charge.    Miss  Joyce  Langston,

WOMEN'S  AUXILIARY  RAIL- 
WAY MAIL  ASSOCIATION 

By  Mrs.  Charles  Beresford,  Press  Chairman 

Space  does  not  permit  me  to  dwell  on  our  club 
history.     Our  work  is  the  important  thing. 

We  co-operate  with  the  Railway  Mail  Association 
in   social   and   welfare  work. 

Our  outside  philanthropy,  under  the  leadership  of 
our  president,  Mrs.  John  Holland,  is  assistance  to  the 
Goodwill  Day  Nursery,  where  twenty-five  to  thirty 
children  of  working  mothers  are  cared  for  and  fed 
every  day. 

A  trained  nurse  is  in  charge  at  342  North  Main 
street  and  the  nursery  is  managed  by  the  Woman's 
Auxiliary  to  Goodwill  Industries  (organized  May  14, 
1923)    and  financed  by  memberships  only. 

Our  club  became  a  patron  by  giving  ten  dollars 
for  the  new  nursery  building  opened  this  month;  also 
sheets,  pillow-cases  and  quilts  for  the  little  beds,  and 
a  Christmas  shower  of  cereals,  canned  fruits  and 
candies;  and  each  member  has  taken  a  "Goodwill" 
bag  to  fill.  Let's  all  help!  Call  Mrs.  Sussex,  875-381, 
for  information.

Meeting  the  first  Wedneseday  of  every  month,  its 
purpose  was  mainly  social.  It  has  prospered  and 
grown  with  the  district  and  now  has  a  membership 
of  over  thirty  congenial  women. 

During  the  year  just  closing,  our  members  have 
enjoyed  "Modern  Celebrities"  programs.  These 
"celebrities"  included  those  of  musical,  dramatic,  phil- 
anthropic and  lettered  fame.  We  have  also  enjoyed 
several  delightful   travelogues   and   book   reviews. 

We  have  done  our  bit  for  the  Biennial,  have 
sewed  for  the  ex-service  men,  are  contributing  to  the 
Woman's  Auxiliary  of  American  Legion,  to  our  local 
hospital  and  cottage  home. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  club  year  was  a  successful

By  Mrs.  A.  R.  Peniuick,  Press  Chairman 

The  University  Book  Club,  of  which  Miss  Francis

celebrated  its  tenth  birthday  anniversary  on  March 
25,  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  M.  A.  Lockhart,  Van  Ness

This  year  our  study  subjects  have  been  unusually 
interesting.  Among  them  were  "Archaeological  Dis- 
coveries in  Egypt,  Europe,  Asia  and  America,"  "What 
Patriotism  Means  in  the  Twentieth  Century,"  "Na- 
tional Waste,"  "Strikes — Who  Pays  for  Them?"  and 
many  other  educational  topics. 

Our  two  philanthropic  branches  of  work — Needle- 
work Guild  and  Child  Welfare  Benefits — are  doing 
fine  and  beneficial  work. 

Our  clubroom  is  in  the  new  eighty  thousand  dollar 
branch  library  on  University  street.  Every  courtesy 
is  shown  us  here  and  we  are  proud  of  our  new 
location.

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  INDEPEN- 
DENCE 

By  Miss  Maud  Parsons,  Press  Chairman 

Our  most  successful  meeting  this  year  was  that  one 
in  which  the  year's   program  was   presented. 

The  community  room  of  the  church  was  especially 
fitted  up  for  the  occasion  with  a  handsome  rug,  reed 
table,  chairs  and  fern  stand,  curtains  and  draperies, 
in  a  most  attractive  way.  The  room  was  darkenea 
and  the  light  from  several  floor  lamps  added  to  the 
picture. 

At  the  side  of  the  room  a  long  table  held  an  ex- 
hibit of  lamp  shades  of  all  kinds,  and,  through  the 
courtesy  of  local  merchants,  a  display  of  materials 
for  shades  and  for  draperies. 

The  program  committee,  having  decided  to  take 
for  the  year's  work  the  study  of  interior  decoration 
with  a  short  study  of  some  recent  biography  for 
each  meeting,  the  former  subject  was  presented  by 
Mrs.  Jess  Hession  and  the  value  of  the  latter  by  Miss 
Anna  Margrave.  Miss  Velma  Bell  was  present  and 
give  valuable  hints  on  constructing  lamp  shades  at 
home.  In  the  absence  of  the  president,  the  meeting 
was  conducted  by  Miss  Maud  Parsons. 


LA  PUENTE  VALLEY 
WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.  H.  Roicland.  President 

La  Puente  Valley  Women's   Club   is  two   years   old. 

We  are  members  of  the  District,  State  and  Gen- 
eral Federation. 

We  have  not  raised  our  dues. 

Our  membership  remains  the  same,  gaining  what 
we  lost. 

We  own  a  $12,000  clubhouse,  carrying  only  a  $4000 
mortgage. 

We  have  wonderful  support  from  the  men  of  our 
town  and  valley. 

We  furnish  our  Chamber  of  Commerce  with  a 
monthly  banquet. 

We  conduct  a  monthly  dance  at  which  six  of  our 
members  wear  hostess  badges. 

We  have  no  Philanthropic  Section  but  help  when 
needed. 

For  the  next  year  we  are  planning  section  work 
in  many  lines. 

Our  Biennial  Gift  we  raised  by  giving  a  variety 
tea,  music,  card,  Mah  Jongg  and  a  beautiful  dislpay 
of  art  treasures  from  the  homes  of  our  members.  An 
admission  of  fifty  cents  was  charged  members  and 
non-members,  which  entitled  them  to  tea,  ices,  cake 
and  a  full  enjoyment  of  the  afternoon. 

Our  Junior  Auxiliary  is  beginning  to  be   active. 

Our  Boy  Scouts  help  in  our  garden. 

We  will  not  be  100  per  cent  at  the  polls,  owing  to 
many  foreigners  in  our  community. 

I  wish  to  thank  Mrs.  Toll  for  the  great  help  the 
La  Puente  club  has  derived  from  the  President 
Councils. 

Also  to  express  my  appreciation  for  the  pleasure  I 
have  had   in   attending  the  Reciprocity  Days. 


BIG  PINE  FRIDAY  AFTER- 
NOON STUDY  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Jessie  R.  Cuddeback,  Press  Chairman 
Doubtless  the  most  important  program  of  the  year, 
in  point;  of  fact  and  authentic  information  on  present 
European  conditions,  occurred  on  Friday  afternoon, 
April  11,  when  this  club  was  doubly  fortunate  in 
having  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Livingstone  Porter  as  the 
speakers  of  the  afternoon. 

Mrs.  Porter  presented   a   most  graphic  and   colorful 


picture  of  the  average  European  woman's  limited 
status,  especially  in  the  Central  European  countries, 
emphasizing  the  difficulties  which  confront  those  noble 
souls  who  try  to  alleviate  the  condition  of  ignorance 
and  chaos  which  prevail.  During  Mrs.  Porter's  resi- 
dence in  Prague,  Czecho-Slovakia,  she  had  many 
illuminating  experiences  which  she  told  in  an  effec- 
tive manner. 

Mr.  Porter  spent  the  two  and  a  half  years  of  1920- 
22  as  a  student  secretary  of  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in  Slovakia 
and  Sub-Carpathian  Russia.  He  was  afterward  at- 
tached to  the  World's  Committee  of  Y.  M.  C.  A.  in 
Geneva,  Switzerland.  His  special  work  was  to  or- 
ganize the  world's  conference  of  workers  among  boys, 
which  was  held  in  May,  1923.  Upon  his  return  to 
European  history  at  a  New  York  university.  At 
present  he  is  teaching  European  history  in  the  Col- 
legiate Preparatory  School  at  Deep  Spring,  Inyo 
County. 

During  his  sojourn  in  Europe  Mr.  Porter  traveled 
in  twenty-two  different  countries  and  has  lectured 
extensively  in  both  this  country  and  abroad.  His 
knowledge  of  the  languases  of  Europe  has  given  him 
a  rate  insight  on  the  Uralo-Altaic  races,  whose  con- 
sciousness is  taking  form  as  an  aftermath  of  the 
late  wars. 


SAN  GABRIEL  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Catherine  L.  Perry  Bean 

An  interesting  session  of  the  San  Gabriel  Woman's 
Club  was  that  of  April  4.  Mrs.  S.  S.  Hotchkiss, 
president,  was  in  the  chair,  and  Ola  B.  Sander  acted 
as  secretary. 

Mrs.  F.  W.  Wood,  past  president  of  the  Wednesday 
Afternoon  Club  of  Alhambra,  gave  a  splendid  talk 
on  benefits  derived  from  a  higher  rate  of  dues  than 
are  those  of  the  club.  "First  quicken  the  responsibil- 
ity in  the  heart  of  the  member,"  said  Mrs.  Wood, 
"and  she  will  respond  to  her  sense  of  duty  by  show- 
ing a  willingness  to  pay  her  share  for  what  she 
receives,  thus  lightening  the  burden  of  the  few,  estab- 
lishing a  firm  financial  basis,  a  more  prosperous  and 
successful  feeling  in  which  to  work;  then  the  reflex 
action  on  each  member,  who,  when  she  pays,  receives 
added  benefit  and  pleasure." 

After  this  talk  the  secretary  gave  a  first  reading 
of  a  resolution  to  change  the  by-law  governing  the 
duces  to  read:  "Initiation  fee  $5.00;  dues  $5.00." 
This  is  to  be  read  a  second  time,  discussed  and  voted 
upon. 

Mrs.  Dean  Van  Norman,  assisted  by  Miss  Harriet 
Beckett,  gave  a  lecture  recital  on  "The  Evolution  of 
the  Art  of  Music,''  illustrated  with  voice,  piano  and 
violin.  She  started  with  an  old  English  song  of  the 
early  Contrapunto  Period,  touching  on  four  periods 
up  to  modern,  with  works  of  masters  belonging  to 
each  period.

delegates,  attended  all  sessions  of  the  District  Con-

were  attended  by  a  number  of  other  Thursday  Club 
members. 

On  Thursday,  April  17,  a  luncheon  was  held  at 
the  school  dining  room  at  fifty  cents  a  plate,  the  pro-

ELYSIAN  HEIGHTS  CIVIC 
CLUB 

By  Grace  Keriuin,  Press  Chairman 

Elysian  Heights  Civic  Club  now  has  a  sturdy  new 
Junior  Auxiliary  composed  of  fourteen  members. 
The  officers  elected  were  chosen  because  they  are 
making  a  study  of  parliamentary  law  at  school. 
Meetings  will  be  held  at  the  homes  of  members  on 
the  second  and  fourth  Friday  evenings  of  every 
month. 

One  of  the  aims  of  the  new  organization  is  to  be 
of  service  to  the  disabled  veterans  of  the  world  war. 
Its  first  step  was  to  gather  up  magazines  and  place 
them  in  the  hands  of  such  as  needed  them. 

Only  a  small  thing  perhaps,  but  it  is  a  step   in  the 
direction   of   being  of   service  to  others,   which   i; 
important  thing  either  in  personal  or  club  life. 

The  new  organization  is  functioning  under 
guidance  of  Mrs.  Gordon  R.  Young,  president  of  the 
mother  club;  Mrs.  H.  A.  Wadsworth,  senior  member 
on  the  executive  board,  and  Mrs.  May  Ingraham, 
chairman  of  the  auxiliary  work.

YORBA  LINDA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

The  Yorba  Linda  Woman's  Club,  of  which  Mrs. 
S.  W.  Acker  is  president,  has  had  a  most  successful 
year,  financially  as  well  as  in  other  ways.  The  year 
started  off  with  a  Rally  Day  Luncheon,  and  about 
twenty  more  members  than  last  year  were  added  to 
the  roll. 

The  bazaar,  an  annual  event,  netted  over  $500, 
and  the  ways  and  means  committee,  of  which  Miss 
Marsha  Vernon,  next  year's  president,  is  chairman, 
has  been  doing  splendid  work  all  year,  one  unique 
feature  being  a  series  of  contest  card  parties  between 
the  men  and  women  of  the  community,  the  side  hav- 
ing the  low  score  to  be  hosts  of  the  "winners  at  a 
barbecue  dinner  in  June.  A  small  admission  is 
charged,  refreshments  are  served,  and  the  parties  are 
a  nice  money-making  proposition,  besides  being 
worth-while   social  events. 

The  club  is  a  member  of  the  Yorba  Linda  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce,  contributes  toward  several  chari- 
ties, and  is  self  supporting  in  every  way.  This  year 
over  $500  was  paid  on  the  clubhouse  debt,  a  new 
range  and  other  kitchen  equipment  has  been  bought 
and  an  addition,  to  be  used  as  a  store  room,  has 
been  built  to  the  club  house. 

Yorba  Linda  Woman's  Club  was  the  first  in  Or- 
ange County  to  become  a  member  of  the  General 
Federation  of  Women's  Clubs.  On  April  22  the  club 
entertained  the  officers  of  the  Orange  County  Federa- 
tion at  luncheon,  Mrs.  E.  E.  Knight,  the  president  of 
the  Federation,  being  a  member  and  past  president 
of  the  Yorba  Linda  Club,  and  on  April  26,  the  Civic 
Committee  of  the  club,  with  Mrs.  P.  S.  Arastutz  as 
chairman,  staged  the  annual  Spring  Clean-Up  Day, 
which  had  the  co-operation  of  every  organization  in 
the  town.  There  are  several  good  features  yet  to 
come,  which  will  round  out  a  most  complete  and 
successful  year.

clubs,  teas,  etc. 

The  Arts  and  Crafts  is  an  all-day  meeting,  at  which 
luncheon  is  served.  Competent  instruction  is  offered 
at  these  meetings  in  basketry,  china  painting,  parch- 
ment work,  water  color  painting  and  polychrome 
work,  of  which  many  members  have  availed  them- 
selves. 

A  number  of  interesting  and  instructive  programs 
have  been  presented  at  the  study  hour,  notably  de- 
scriptions of  travel,  and  addresses  on  "The  Boulder 
Dam  Project,"  "Phases  of  Educational  Progress," 
"Music,"  "Plays,"  and  other  subjects. 

In  May  the  Annual  Rose  Show  is  held.  It  is  an 
event  of  interest  and  pride  to  the  entire  community. 
Many  choice  and  beautiful  roses  and  other  flowers  are 
exhibited,  and  there  is  also  an  Arts  and  Crafts  dis- 
play. 

The   reception   room  of   the  clubhouse   has   been   re- 


ZELZAH  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Sue  R.  Jones,  Press  Chairman 

As  a  club  always  needs  money  and  especially  when 
planning  improvements  to  its  building,  our  club  will 
give  a  "Birthday  Dinner"  in  the  near  future  as  one 
means  of  obtaining  the  needed  funds.  Twelve  tables 
will  be  appropriately  dressed  to  represent  the  months 
of  the  year.  Entertainment  will  come  from  each 
table  symbolic  of  the  month  it  represents,  and  all 
who  attend  are  assured  of  a  pleasant  time. 

On  the  evening  of  April  21  the  directors  of  the  San 
Fernando  Valley  Boy  Scouts  were  entertained  by  the 
club.  A  little  later  a  big  Chamber  of  Commerce 
affair  will  be  given. 

Not  all  of  our  efforts  are  devoted  to  the  problems 
of  raising  money,  for  our  Recoprocity  Day  occurs 
April  29.  We  are  hoping  to  have  our  district  vice 
president,  Mrs.  Lorbeer,  to  address  our  many  friends 
and  club  members. 


GOLDEN  STATE  DIVISION  NO. 

104  OF  THE  G.  I.  A.  TO  THE 

B.  OF  L.  E. 

By  Helen  P.  Bush,  Press  Chairman 

At  one  of  our  March  meetings  we  raffled  off  a  cap 
and  table  cloth  for  two  needy  women,  receiving  $8.50 
for  the  cap  and  $18.50  for  the  table  cloth,  which  the 
division  voted  to  make  ten  and  twenty  dollars,  re- 
spectively. We  also  voted  to  help  the  ex-service  men 
and  sent  ten  dollars  to  Mrs.  Wright  for  a  table  at 
the  Biltmore  card  party. 

The  evening  of  March  28  we  had  a  get-together 
meeting  when  engineers  and  their  families  met  for 
a  social  time  with  refreshments  and  dancing  sand- 
wiched in.  On  April  17  we  had  a  noon  luncheon  in 
honor  of  the  five  women  who  joined  our  auxiliary  on 
that  day,  each  member  bringing  sandwiches  and  the 
division  furnishing  the  remainder  of  the  menu.  The 
afternoon  was  devoted  to  initiation  and  reports  from 
the  District  Convention  at  Glendale. 

On  the  evening  of  April  26  we  gave  a  masquerade 
ball  for  charitable  purposes,  with  tickets  at  fifty 
cents. 


LOS    ANGELES    BRANCH,    IN- 
TERNATIONAL SUN- 
SHINE SOCIETY 

By  Mrs.  Adele   White,  President 

While  the  Los  Angeles  Branch  of  The  International 
Sunshine  Society  is  not  incorporated  as  a  charity  or- 
ganization, we  bring  sunshine  into  the  lives  of  "shut- 
ins."  The  afflicted  and  those  needing  assistance  have 
never  been  turned  away  unhelped.  We  received  two 
gold  medals  for  sending  more  money  to  the  support 
of  the  Blind  Babies'  Home  than  any  other  branch. 
Have  supported  an  old  Indian  woman  for  seven 
years.  For  the  past  year  have  fitted  out  an  orphan 
boy  completely.  Furnished  layettes  for  many  needy 
expectant  mothers.  Sent  checks  to  the  Abbot  Memo- 
rial, Elizabeth  Day  Nursery,  Mission  Play  Founda- 
tion. Furnished  wheel  chairs,  flowers,  fruit  and  food 
for  sick  and  shut-ins,  are  contributing  $10  monthly

OCEANSIDE    WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Emma  McComh,  President 
The  Woman's  Club  of  Oceanside  has  been  and  still 
is  working  away  to  clear  its  home  of  indebtedness, 
which  is  being  done  in  the  many  and  various  ways 
known  to  any  set  of  resourceful  women,  viz.:  giving 
dinners  and  banquets  for  the  different  organizations 
of  the  town,  bazaars,  entertainments,  etc.  We  are 
justly  proud  of  our  clubhouse,  as  it  was  an  old  build- 
ing and  needs  only  to  be  seen  to  appreciate  what  can 
be  done  by  judicious  remodeling.  We  are  now  at 
work  on  the  stage  and  when  completed  will  make  a 
splendid  place  for  a  certain  class  of  plays  such  as 
would  come  to  a  clubhouse.  In  getting  the  stage 
done  we  have  had  wonderful  co-operation  and  help 
from  our  supervisor,  Mr.  Tom  Hurley,  who  recentiv 
staged  an  immensely  successful  colored  minstrel  show, 
which  was  made  up  of  San  Diego  Elks. 

Through  the  same  means  we  are  the  proud  pos- 
sessors of  a  beautiful  velour  curtain.  The  Oceanside 
Chamber  of  Commerce  proves  itself  a  great  helper 
and  ally  of  the  Woman's  Club. 

The  past  year  we  have  given  varied  programs 
trying  to  meet  the  tastes  and  requirements  of  all. 
The  most  recent  was  the  traveling  art  exhibit,  when 
the  club  and  general  public  had  the  opportunity  of 
seeing  many  very  good  pictures  by  San  Diego  Countv 


THE  FRIDAY  CLUB  OF 
NATIONAL  CITY 

By  Mrs.  E.  Thelan,  Press  Cliairman 
At  its  meeting  Friday,  April  11,  the  Friday  Club 
had  the  great  honor  and  pleasure  of  listening  to  a 
talk  by  Mrs.  David  A.  Fraser,  on  the  work  of  the 
moving  picture  committee  of  the  State  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  of  which  committee  Mrs.  Fraser  is 
chairman. 

She  stressed  two  points:  that  in  her  work,  as  else- 
where, courtesy  and  common  sense  go  a  long  way 
toward  an  amicable  understanding;  that  the  State 
University  at  Berkeley  has  numerous  very  fine,  in- 
structive films  which  can  be  secured  by  schools, 
churches,  playgrounds,  etc.,  for  the  freight  and  a  very 
small   rental. 

As  an  introduction,  Mrs.  Fraser  gave  a  charming, 
sketchy  talk  about  women  who  opened  the  way  for  the 
work  women  are  today  doing — Caroline  Bartlett 
Crane,  Sophie  Wright,  Jane  Addams,  Albion  Fellows 
Bacon,  Hannah  Kent  Schoff,  Frances  Kelley,  Julia 
Tutwiler,  Lucretia  L.  Blankenburg,  Dr.  Anna  How-

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  SLAUSON 

By  I'iola  A.  Ian  Order,  President 
The  Woman's  Club  of  Slauson  keeps  before  its 
members  constantly  the  motto:  Progress  and  Har- 
mony. First  we  try  to  help  the  young  wife  and  mother 
in  her  problems,  and  encourage  art,  beauty  and  har- 
mony in  the  home,  as  well  as  tact  in  all  club  activ- 
ities.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


The  club  gives  a  love  shower  of  useful  and  beauti- 
ful things  to  each  expectant  mother  in  the  club. 

One  year  we  gave  twenty  showers,  but  last  j'ear 
only  two. 

The  mothers  declare  that  housing  conditions,  and 
the  exorbitant  fees  of  doctors  and  hospitals  preclude 
child-bearing.     We  feel  this  is   a  serious   question. 

We  held  a  food  contest  last  week  at  which  fine 
prizes  were  given  and  the  food  sold  at  a  good  rate. 
We  have  lost  twenty-five  members  this  year  by  re- 
movals, but  have  lost  none  of  our  ambition  to  be  a 
help  to  every  woman  with  whom  we  come  in  contact. 


PACOIMA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  M.  Guidinger 

The  present  year  of  the  Pacoima  Woman's  Club, 
under  the  fine  leadership  of  Mrs.  J.  C.  Hersey,  has 
been  a  most  successful  and  enjoyable  one,  for  al- 
though the  dues  have  been  doubled,  so  also  has  the 
membership. 

Having  outgrown  its  "parlor-club"  clothes  with  its 
membership  of  over  fifty,  the  club  is  planning  home 
ownership.  A  new  constitution  and  by-laws  have 
been  adopted,  with  a  view  to  incorporation  during 
the  summer. 

A  building  site  has  been  promised  for  the  club- 
house building  and  the  ways  and  means  committee, 
of  which  Mrs.  Homer  A.  Hanson  is  chairman,  is 
busily  engaged  in  various  ways  adding  to  the  build- 
ing fund. 

The  annual  May  musicale  will  be  given  this  year 
at  "Mount  of  Olives,"  the  beautiful  hill-top  home  of 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hanson,  on  the  first  Wednesday  in 
May. 

The  Pacoima  club  is  among  the  valley  clubs  which 
are  combining  in  the  outdoor  hospitality  to  be  ex- 
tended 300  delegates  to  the  Biennial  in  lovely  Mem- 
ory Garden  at  the  Old   Mission  in  June. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  INDIO 

By  Mrs.  Maud  Sammis,  Publicity  Committee 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Indio  feels  that  it  has  been 
very  fortunate,  at  our  last  two  meetings,  in  having 
with  us  on  April  2,  Mrs.  Atwood,  National  Chairman 
of  Indian  Welfare,  and  on  April  16,  Mrs.  Sterritt, 
social  welfare  worker  for  the  government  institution 
for  wayward  girls,  situated  in  Hawaii. 

Both  speakers  gave  very  instructive  and  interest- 
ing descriptions  of  their  work  and  travels.  We  hope 
they  will  come  again. 

On  May  17  the  Banning  Saturday  Afternoon  Club 
will  have  the  program.  This  is  a  return  exchange 
of  programs. 

In  March  our  club  staged  a  "Vodville,"  which  was 
a   success,  both  financially  and  socially. 

Though  not  much  is  being  done  in  a  departmental 
way,   we   have   an   interesting  Legislative   and   Parlia-

mentary  Section  and  hope  soon  to  have  other  sections. 

Our  social  service  committee  takes  much  interest 
in   all  things  reported  to  them. 

We  are  planning  a  balloon  dance  for  May  10  and 
hope  to  financially  help  the  club. 


RESEDA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  E.  R.  Bever,  President 

The  annual  election  of  officers  was  held  at  the 
Reseda  School  April  1  and  the  following  officers 
elected  for  the  ensuing  year:  President,  Mrs.  E.  R. 
Bever;  vice-president,  Mrs.  D.  C.  Brown;  recording 
secretary,  Mrs.  Geo.  Schulenburg;  corresponding  sec- 
retary, Mrs.  Bernard  Schmitz ;  federation  secretary, 
Mrs.  Alex  Jeffrey;  treasurer,  Mrs.  E.  E.  Lips;  finan- 
cial secretary,  Mrs.  Laura  Garner;  directors,  Mrs. 
Grace  Greathouse  and   Mrs.   Harold  Roebuck. 

An  "April  Fool  party  was  given  in  the  school 
auditorium,  the  evening  of  April  1,  to  which  the  com- 
munity was   invited. 

A  short  program  was  given  and  all  attending  were 
requested  to  dress  in  "funny"  costumes  and  prizes 
given  to  the  most  comical.  The  judges  were  out  of 
town  guests  and  tried  to  make  decision  during  the 
grand  march  but  could  not,  so  each  one  was  asked 
to  step  out  of  line  and  turn  around.  The  decision 
rendered  was  satisfactory  to  all. 

The  evening  was  spent  in  playing  games  and  at  a 
late  hour  delicious  refreshments  were  served  by  the 
hostesses  who  were  dressed  in  dainty  Dutch  costumes. 

The  convention  at  Glendale  was  truly  an  inspira- 
tion and  a  school  for  new  clubs  in  the  f-ederation 
work. 


ESCHSCHOLTZIA   CHAPTER, 

DAUGHTERS  OF  THE 

AMERICAN  REVOLUTION 


By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  Press  Chairman 
At  the  Sixteenth  Annual  California  State  Confer- 
ence, Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,  held  in 
Pasadena  March  13  to  15,  inclusive,  Eschscholtzia 
Chapter  was  honored  by  the  election,  with  a  unani- 
mous vote,  of  the  retiring  Regent,  Mrs.  M.  M.  May- 
bury,    as    State    Chaplain. 

Mrs.  Lyman  B.  Stookey,  retiring  State  Regent,  is 
also  a  member  of  Eschscholtzia  Chapter,  and  in  rec- 
ognition of  her  efficient  work  as  State  Regent  during 
the  past  two  years,  Eschscholtzia  Chapter  at  the  reg- 
ular April  meeting  voted  to  confer  upon  Mrs.  Stookey 
of   office   of   Honorary   Regent   of   the    Chapter. 

In  the  reports  given  both  at  the  State  Conference 
and  at  the  Thirty-third  Continental  Congress  held  at 
Washington,  D.  C,  Eschscholtzia  Chapter  stood  out 
prominently  in  her  achievement  in  patriotic,  historic 
and  educational  work  for  the  j'ear  ending  March, 
1924,  Over  3000  patriotic  manuals  have  been  dis- 
tributed by  the  Americanization  committee,  of  which 
Miss  Jessica  Smith  is  chairman ;  two  beautiful  seals, 
one  the  Great  Seal  of  the  United  States,  and  the 
other  the  seal  of  Spain.  Appropriate  bronze  tablets 
inscribed  in  honor  of  Lieut. -Colonel  John  C.  Fre- 
mont and  his  command  of  American  soldiers,  and  in 
honor  of  General  Andres  Pico,  will  be  unveiled  in

a  historic  tribute  from  Eschscholtzia  Chapter  through 
her  committee  on  Old  Trails  and  Preservation  of 
Historic  Spots,  of  which  Mrs.  Charles  Wellborn  is

THE  NAVAL  MEMORIAL  SERVICES 

CASTING   FLOWERS   ON    THE    SEA  IN    HONOR   OF   OUR   NAVAL   DEAD. 
By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  Founder  of  the  Naval  Memorial  Services, 


Memorial  Day  is  dedicated  to  noble  sentiment  and 
to  a  noble  cause.  The  government  annuallj'  sets  aside 
by  proclamation  this  daj'  that  we  may  honor  especially 
those  men  %vho  have  lost  their  lives  that  this  country 
might  remain  indivisible  and  that  the  people  might 
remain  free  and  united.  But  it  was  forty  years  and 
over  that  the  patriots  of  the  land  forces  received 
the  unstinted  honors  of  a  grateful  people  before  the 
men  of  the  sea  were  accorded  a  recognizable  place  in 
the  ceremonies  of  Memorial  Day.  Now  and  then  a 
lone  shaft  would  be  erected  and  dedicated  to  the 
Unknown  Dead  and  decorated  with  flags  and  flowers, 
and  the  fact  pointed  out  that  the  sailors  and  marines 
who  had  "Gone  aloft  forever,"  were  included  in  this 
tribute — but.  our  sailors  and  marines  are  not  among 
the  Unknown  Dead  for  every  commissioned  officer, 
enlisted  man.  sailor  and  marine  has  his  own  known 
place  and  record  on  board  ship  and  if  he  is  lost  at 
sea  we  know  that  his  resting  place  is  beneath  the 
waves  and  that  he  has  gone  aloft,  but  he  is  not 
Unknown,  for  we  have  his  name  and  his  record  as 
a   patriot. 

It  was  this  omission  and  continued  neglect  of  the 
honored  dead  of  the  Navy  that  caused  me  to  appeal, 
in  1900,  to  the  public  school  teachers  of  California — 
those  who  lived  in  coast  towns  and  on  large  rivers, 
to  correct  this  omission  and  create  a  distinctive  floral 
ceremony  for  our  splendid  men  of  the  Navy  who  have 
gone   aloft  forever,   and   arrange  to —

June  6,   1900. 

Dear  Madam:  I  have  just  received  your  courteous 
note  of  the  28th  of  May.  The  ceremony  certainly 
meets  with  mj-  most  hearty  approval.  At  this  time, 
when  monuments  are  being  erected  to  the  unknown 
dead,  buried  unrecognized  from  many  battlefields, 
it  seems  especially  fitting  that  someone  should  remem- 
ber the  unknown  and  unnamed  dead  of  the  Navy, 
whose  resting  place  will  bear  no  monuments,  and 
whose  sacrifices  must  be  remembered  by  their  grate- 
ful and  patriotic  fellow  citizens.  Allow  me  to  con- 
gratuate  you  on  the  beautiful  way  in  which  you 
have  done  this.  I  hope  that  the  good  citizens  of  the 
Pacific  slope  will  accept  it  as  an  established  custom 
and  repeat  the  exercises  next  year  and  in  all  j'ears  to 
come.     Yours  sincerely,

Dear  Mrs.  Forbes:  Thank  you  so  much  for  send- 
ing me  the  clipping  containing  the  tribute  to  the  sailor 
dead  on  Memorial  Day.  It  was  a  sweet  thought  to 
strew  the  waters  of  the  restless  sea  on  that  day  in 
memory  to  those  whose  bones  lie  among  every  ocean 
highway  around  the  world ;  every  home  in  the  land 
that  has  been  saddened  by  the  loss  of  some  loved 
one  at  sea  must  have  felt  deeply  touched  by  the 
sweet  thoughtfulness  of  our  grateful  countrymen.  I 
might  add  that  no  eulogium  of  man's  courage  in  war 
for  his  home  and  country  could  be  complete  that  does 
not  include  woman's  part  and  woman's  sacrifices  also. 
Again  thanking  you  for  the  kind  remembrance, 
I  am  very  truly  yours, 

■W.   S.   SCHLEY.

Early  in  April,  I  received  the  following  letter  from 
Admiral    Dewey: 

OFFICE   OF  THE  ADMIRAL 
1747   Rhode   Island   Avenue 

■Washington,  April  1,  1901. 
Dear  Madam:  I  have  your  letter  of  the  23rd  ult., 
but  do  not  find  that  the  letter  which  you  say  was 
sent  me  last  year,  upon  the  subject,  was  ever  received 
by  me.  It  gives  me  much  pleasure  to  learn  of  the 
proposition  of  the  Californians  to  cast  flowers  upon 
the  ocean,  as  a  means  of  decorating  the  unknown 
graves  of  those  who  sleep  beneath  its  waves.  The 
idea  seems  to  me  a  beautiful  one,  and  I  hope  it  may 
be  carried  out  in  many  places. 
Very  truly  yours, 

GEORGE  DE'WEY. 
Mrs.   A.    S.   C.   Forbes, 

622   West   Fifteenth   St.,   Los  Angeles,   Cal. 

Upon  the  receipt  of  this  letter  I  had  fifteen  hundred 
leaflets  printed  with  the  same  request  that  was  on 
the  large  cards,  together  with  the  three  letters  given 
above.     These   leaflets    and   cards   were   addressed   to 


members  of  the  U.  S.  Senate  and  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives; to  governors  of  States;  to  all  of  the  lead- 
ing newspapers  and  journals  throughout  the  country; 
to  all  Naval  Associations;  to  all  G.  A.  R.  Posts  and 
Corps,  and  Camps  and  Patriotic  Organizations,  and 
to  the  commanding  officers  of  our  warships.  As  a 
result  the  ceremony  of  casting  flowers  upon  the 
waves  in  honor  of  the  naval  dead  has  been  since 
universally  observed. 

I  could  fill  a  page  with  names  of  those  who  have 
helped  to  perfect  the  ceremony  and  to  whom  grati- 
tude is  due,  but  I  unhesitatingly  say  that  the  above- 
named  cannot  be  omitted  in  the  part  they  have  taken 
in  building  a  floral  monument  to  those  who  have  no 
stone. 

To  mark  the  place  he  lies  beneath. 
No   beautious   garland    decks    a   mound. 
Or   wild   flowers   form   a   starry  wreath. 
The   moonbeams   glistening  o'er  the  wave 
.  Is    all   that   marks    a   sailor's   grave. 


TUJUNGA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  L.  May  Dean,  Press  Chairman 
The  Tujunga  Woman's  Club,  voted  for  the  new 
club  house  in  bungalow  style,  work  to  begin  at  once. 
The  plan  consists  of  a  large  audience  room  with  a 
kitchen.  The  building  is  to  be  of  stucco.  On  Thurs- 
day, April  24,  a  luncheon  for  past  presidents,  and 
members  of  the  club,  will  be  held  at  the  rooms,  fol- 
lowed by  a  program.  All  are  enthusiastically  work- 
ing to  get  money  enough  to  finish  the  building  at 
once.  About  foiir  hundred  dollars  has  been  raised 
by  food  sales  and  dancing  parties,  during  the  past 
month. 

This  month  finishes  the  history  of  California  and 
its  missions,  and  all  are  looking  forward  to  the  illus- 
trated lecture  to  be  given  on  May  9,  on  "California 
Birds  and  Flowers,"  with  Mrs.  Harriet  Williams 
Myers,  chairman  of  that  division.  We  hope  to  have 
our  new  club  house  finished  before  the  Federation 
meeting  in  June,  as  some  delegates  from  the  east 
will  visit  friends  in  Tujunga   at  that  time.

While  Los  Angeles  is  the

By    Mrs.    Arthur    C.   Wier, 
Publicity  Chairman 


California  club  women  who  are  hostesses  at  the 
seventeenth  Biennial  have  p^o^■ided  for  the  daily 
meetings  ample  seating  space  for  the  thousands  of 
delegates  and  visitors  to  be  welcomed  to  Los  An- 
geles. No  one  need  fear  that  it  will  be  impossible 
to  enjoy  the  splendid  programs  to  be  presented, 
June   3-13.     There   is   to   be    room   for   all. 

While  the  regular  sessions  will  be  conducted  in 
the  .\uditorium  Building,  which  is  an  ideal  con- 
vention hall,  duplicate  meetings  will  be  held  in  the 
beautiful  new  Biltmore  Theatre  in  the  afternoons 
and  in  the  spacious  Trinity  Auditorium  in  the 
evenings.  Famous  speakers  will  repeat  their  ad- 
dresses, going  directly  from  one  platform  to  an- 
other. Thus  .  immense  audiences  may  hear  the 
discussion  of  world  problems  and  the  presentation 
of   international   issues. 

Both  auditoriums  and  the  theatre  will  be  ap- 
propriately decorated.  Ciroups  of  club  women 
will  be  on  duty  constantly  and  all  who  desire  to 
attend  the  meetings  will  be  welcomed.  This  ar- 
rangement gives  assurance  that  club  members 
may  take  husbands,  sons  and  daughters  to  the 
Biennial  with  confidence  that  all  may  profit  by 
the  remarkable  general  program  which  has  been 
worked  out  with  special  stress  on  the  larger  hu- 
man   relations    of   the    world. 

Hotel  reservations  promise  a  greater  attendance 
than  has  been  recorded  at  any  previous  con\'en- 
tion  of  the  General  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs. 
The  fact  that  the  Biennial  marks  a   vear   in  which 


there  is  to  be  an  election  of  President  of  the 
United  States  adds  special  interest  to  the  sessions 
at  which  public  affairs  are  to  be  discussed  by  dis- 
tinguished men  and  women.  Mrs.  Robert  J.  Bur- 
dette,  Chairman  of  the  Program  Committee,  has 
brought  to  her  part  of  the  convention  work  a 
broad  view  point  and  has  succeeded  in  building 
a  program  that  will  mark  an  important  chapter 
in  club  history.  The  keynote  of  the  convention  is 
to  sound  a  call  to  organized  effort  for  world  peace. 
Speakers  who  are  authorities  on  international  re- 
lations will  address  the  audiences  which  will  rep- 
resent the  most  soundly  progressive  thought  of  the 
nation. 

Mrs.  Joseph  F.  Sartori,  Chairman  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Local  Biennial  Board,  has  stressed  the  im- 
portance of  affording  the  best  possible  opportunities 
to  profit  by  the  riches  offered  delegates  and  visi- 
tors. To  this  end  the  special  committees  have 
worked  with  such  success  that  there  is  no  cause 
for  apprehension  that  the  "standing-room  only," 
or  worse,  the  "no  admittance''  sign  may  be  en- 
countered. Because  California  has  had  long  ex- 
perience in  entertaining  crowds,  the  club  \vomen. 
of  the  state  have  been  able  to  plan  the  Biennial 
with  expert  knowledge  of  con\'ention  requirements. 
W'hh  a  state  organization  of  70,000  they  have  ac- 
complished results  difficult  to  attain,  except  with 
the  co-operation  of  trained  workers  inspired  by 
enthusiasm  due  to  their  appreciation  of  the  op- 
portunity to  entertain  the  foremost  women  of  the 
time.

GAS  SCRUBBERS 

F'^  ROM  the  wash  box,  or  first  cleansing  process,  the  gas  passes  into  the 
scrubbers — those  70-foot-high  cylinders  near  the  gas  generators. 
Boards  on  edge  spaced  a  short  distance  apart  fill  the  scrubbers,  in  some  of 
which  water,  and  in  others,  oil  is  sprayed  over  the  wooden  gratings,  keeping 
the  surfaces  completely  covered.  The  gas  is  passed  from  bottom  to  top 
through  both  water  and  oil  scrubbers.  Contact  with  the  wet  wooden  surfaces 
cools  the  gas  and  "scrubs"  out  of  it  any  remaining  carbon  and  such  tar  and 
napthalene  as  may  be  present.

The  aim  of  the  "California"  is  to  help  create  the  maximum  eflfect 
with  the  least  possibly  outlay.  With  this  idea  every  piece  of  furni- 
ture and  every  bit  of  home  furnishing  here  has  been  selected  with 
infinite  care. 

You  are  cordially  invited  to  visit  the  "California"  and  view  the  very

Most  meals  start  with 
bread  —  and  bread  is  the 
making  of  many  a  meal. 

Why  not  buy  bread  so 
good  you  could  make  a 
meal  of  it  alone — with 
some  jam  or  jelly,  syrup 
or  honey?     Why  not  buy 

The  bread  with  flavor,  nourishment,

"Fifty-Fifty" 

DURING  1923  Los  Angeles  Gas  and  Electric  Corporation  paid,  in  round  num- 
bers, $1,200,000  in  Federal,  State,  County  and  City  taxes.  Nearly  a  million 
and  a  quarter  dollars. 

The  dividend  on  the   Preferred  and   the  Common  stock  of   the   Corporation  for  the 
same  period  was  approximately  $1,240,000. 

Thus,  the  Go\ernmer:t  and  the  Stockholders  received  nearly  equal  shares  of  the  year's 
earnings. 

This  illustrates  the  manner  in  which  the  public  utility  corporation  contributes  to  the 
support  of  the  Government  and  at  the  same  time  yields  "a  fair  return"  to  its  investors.

The  CLUBPFOMAN 


EBELL  OF  LOS  ANGELES 


THE    MISSION    THEATRE    AND    THE 
GOLDEN    SCROLL 

By  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 

The  officers  and  members  of  the  Board  of  Direc- 
tors of  Ebell  Club,  together  with  the  members  of  the 
Golden  Scroll  Committee,  spent  a  day  recently  which 
will   linger   long   in   their   memories. 

At  the  invitation  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McGroarty, 
they  motored  out  to  the  little  town  of  San  Gabriel 
and  there  under  the  historic  grape  vine  enjoyed  a 
Spanish  luncheon  while  the  warm  sun  shone,  and  the 
beautiful  Sierra  Madres  towered  above,  showing 
but  dimly  through  the  haze  of  the  valley.  When 
luncheon  was  finished,  the  party,  led  by  Mr.  Mc- 
Groarty, went  to  inspect  the  theatre,  in  which  each 
one  was  vitally  interested,  with  a  little  feeling  of 
ownership,   having   contributed   to   the   Golden    Scroll. 

What  a  splendid  building  it  is  and  how  strong  it 
is  builded  !  To  last  a  thousand  years,  and  to  belong 
to  the  people  of  California — -this  is  the  dream  of  this 
big  hearted  man  who  loves  California  and  her  his- 
tory and  who  has  done  so  much  to  perpetuate  the 
memories  of  the  olden  days. 

Modeled  from  the  beautiful  mission  of  San  Antonio 
in  Monterery  County,  the  noble  arches  and  broad  fa- 
cade lend  themselves  ideally  to  the  present  purpose. 
So  well  did  those  old  Mission  Fathers  plan  that  the 
proportions  were  found  to  be  perfect  and  were  repro- 
duced, only  made  just  twice  as  large  as  the  model. 
The  stage  is  so  huge  that  any  production  will  find 
ample  room  and  so  strong  that  a  whole  troop  of 
cavalry  could  be  driven  across  it.  There  will  be  a 
broad  prominade  along  the  side,  at  one  end  of  which 
will  be  the  Green  Room  and  the  dressing  rooms  for 
the  actors,  all  on  a  level  with  the  stage,  with  every 
convenience  provided.  The  seats  are  to  be  so  far 
apart  that  there  need  be  no  crowding  as  people  pass 
to  and  fro,  the  aisles  will  be  broad  and  there  will  be 
nothing  to  obstruct  the  view  of  the  beautiful  proscen- 
ium arch.  Around  the  sides  will  be  a  small  gallery, 
with  an  iron  railing  over  which  the  banners  of  Cas- 
tile will  be  flung,   in   all  their  colorful  beauty. 

Surely  any  one  would  thrill  to  the  vision  as  Mr. 
McGroarty  presents  it!  True,  he  is  a  dreamer,  but 
this  dream  is  becoming  a  wonderful  reality  where 
one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars  have  already 
been  spent  and  where  two  hundred  and  fifty  more 
are  needed.  And  they  will  come.  It  takes  just  such 
a  lovable  and  loving  personality  to  inspire  such  big 
and  worth  while  things  and  when  the  people  see 
and  understand  the  unselfishness  and  willing  sacri- 
fice, they  will  gladly  respond  to  the  opportunity. 
Ebell  is  very  happy  to  have  contributed  over  two 
thousand  dollars  to  the  Foundation,  many  contribu- 
tions having  been  made  in  the  memory  of  members 
whose  names   will  be   inscribed   on  the  Golden   Scroll. 

The  remainder  of  this  perfect  day  was  spent  at 
the  performance  of  "La  Golondrina,"  the  second  in 
the  trilogy  of  California  Life  which  Mr.  McGroarty 
intends  shall  be  produced  in  this  splendid  theater. 
The  third  play,  which  is  still  incomplete,  will  be  of 
the  thrilling  days  of  "49."  The  lovely  story  of  "La 
Golondrina"  left  us  all  a  little  sad  but  more  in  love 
than  ever  with  those  olden  times,  when  life  was  full 
of  music  and  romance  and  charm  in  this  lovely  land 
of    California. 


EBELL'S   PRACTICAL   RELIEF 

COMMITTEE 

By  Alice  G.  Fletcher,  Chairman 

The  Ebell  Club  of  Los  Angeles  gives  the  use  of  her 
beautiful  rooms  to  the  Practical  Relief  Committee 
every  Friday  and  in  one  room  has  built  a  large 
closet  which  is  used  for  suits  and  cloaks  and  com- 
forters and  blankets.  In  another  room  cupboards  have 
been  built  in  to  hold  bolts  of  outing  cloth,  muslin, 
gingham,  etc.,  to  be  made  up  into  new  garments  and 
also  to  hold  the  garments  donated  by  the  members 
of  Ebell.  We  are  fairly  well  equipped  for  work 
with  eleven  sewing  machines,  two  motors,  an  electric 
iron  and  quilting  frames.  We  are  well  organized 
with  our  different  departments.  A  young  woman 
who  earns  her  living  by  dress-making  gives  us  one 
day  a  week.  It  would  not  be  possible  to  make  the 
pretty  dresses  we  do  if  it  were  not  for  Miss  Mont- 
jar.  Our  millinery  department  is  in  charge  of  Mrs. 
Bellen;  comforters  and  bedding,  Mrs.  Hutchins; 
layettes,  Mrs.  Brown;  nightingales,  hoods  and  bed 
socks,  Mrs.  Webb;  and  as  we  are  very  economical 
we  have  a  rug  department  with  Miss  Waters  in 
charge  and  we  use  all  the  pieces  for  rugs  that  we  do 
not  use  for  quilts.  Our  assistants,  Miss  Moorhead, 
Mrs.  Switzer  and  Miss  Ogden  do  the  cutting,  assist 
the  chairman  in  distributing  clothing  and  also  sew 
at  the  machines  in  case  of  an  emergency.  Our 
secretary,  Mrs.  Russell,  keeps  a  strict  account  of  all 
garments  and  articles  received  and  distributed,  new 
garments  made,  attendance  and  assists  in  distributing 
garments,  takes  care  of  the  stock  and  assists  wher- 
ever she  is  needed.  With  this  organization  we  have 
been  able  to  make  711  garments,  receive  over  3000 
garments  and  articles  and  distribute  over  4000.  We 
take  great  pride  in  caring  for  our  scholarship  and 
school  girls  and  Rest  Cottage  guests.  One  of  the 
latter  was  looking  for  a  position  and  came  to  us 
for  help  as  she  was  shabbily  dressed  and  she  thought 
it  might  be  a  help.  When  she  left  us  she  looked  like 
a  well-dressed  business  woman  and  secured  a  po- 
sition next  day.  We  are  told  by  the  teachers  that 
the  girls'  scholarship  always  improve  after  being 
suitably  dressed  in  pretty  clothes.  We  have  received 
more  miscellaneous  articles  this  past  club  year,  among 
them  being  dishes,  furniture,  coal,  kindling  and  a 
registered  Toggenburg  goat!  We  found  her  a  home 
and  she  is  now  supplying  a  family  with  milk.  If  we 
receive  anything  that  we  cannot  use  we  pass  it  on  to 
the  Good  Will  Industries.  When  a  family  needs 
more  assistance  than  we  can  give  them — they  are  re- 
ferred to  the  County  Charities  and  we  see  that  they 
are  placed  on  the  county  list.  The  budget  of  the 
county  is  small  and  we  supplement  it  with  clothing 
and  in  any  way  that  we  can.  We  co-operate  with 
the  Juvenile  Protective  Association,  with  the  John- 
son Apartments  and  we  have  recently  adopted  two 
children  at  the  Kiddie  Koop.  These  little  ones  had 
no  clothing  and  we  supply  all  of  their  needs  in  this 
respect  and  two  young  women  visit  them  and  have 
the  oversight  of  them.  It  is  our  policy  never  to  turn 
deaf  ears  to  any  appeal  for  help  and  while  we  can- 
not always  answer  them,  words  of  sympathy  and  ad- 
vice give  new  hope  to  troubled  hearts  and  it  is 
easier  to  "carry  on"  knowing  that  there  are  friends 
to  turn  to  in  dire  need.  In  consulting  with  our 
Mrs.  North  about  a  woman  I  was  troubled  over,  I 
said,  "I  do  not  know  whether  she  is  deserving." 
Mrs.  North  replied:  "It  is  not  whether  she  is  deserv- 
ing, but  can  we  help  her?"  We  have  always  kept 
that  in  mind  and  while  we  have  found  some  cases 
that  we  could  not  help  they  have  been  few.  These 
have  been  the  ones  who  seem  to  think  the  world  owes 
them   a   living   without   working   for   it    and    apply   to

every  philanthropy  or  charity  they  hear  of.  We  de- 
cline to  give  to  these  as  we  must  make  our  vpork  con- 
structive. 

We  find  conditions  of  the  ex-service  men  and  their 
families  most  deplorable.  Undoubtedly  California 
carries  a  heavier  burden  in  this  respect  than  any  other 
State,  for  they  come  from  every  State  hoping  to  find 
health  in  our  vponderful  climate,  and  without  any 
I'lought  that  their  compensation  will  not  be  forth- 
coming to  their  changed  addresses,  they  arrive  with- 
out anything  and  it  takes  from  six  weeks  to  two 
months  before  their  affairs  can  be  readjusted.  In  the 
meantime  they  must  be  taken  care  of.  We  can  help 
in  only  a  small  way  by  giving  clothing  and  money 
only  in   cases   of   dire   need    and   then   only  in   small 


amounts  for  we  have  to  draw  upon  the  Practical 
Relief  Treasury  for  this. 

At  the  recent  Biennial  Convention  the  story  was  told 
of  five  hundred  girls  who  had  suffered  every  humili- 
ation at  the  hands  of  the  Turks.  Theye  were  taken 
to  Egypt  and  were  compelled  to  go  by  steerage  where 
men  and  women  were  sleeping  indiscriminately.  The 
girls  placed  a  guard  of  two  girls  who  were  changed 
every  hour  in  the  night.  Mr.  Shedd  who  had  them 
in  charge  became  worried  and  went  down  in  the  night 
to  see  how  they  were  getting  along.  A  fifteen  year 
old  girl  said  to  him:  "Don't  worry,  we  know  by  the 
way  we  live  that  doors  are  opened  or  closed  to 
others." 

Ebell  lives  most  worthily  for  the  doors  of  Rest 
Cottage,  of  the  Scholarship  Fund  and  Practical  Relief 
Committees  are  opened  to  many  unfortunate  ones.

The  CLUBPFOMAN 


THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Sarah  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 


One  of  the  great  deprivations  the  club  offered  while 
it  was  without  a  home  was  the  use  of  a  suitable  din- 
ing room  in  which  to  hold  its  luncheons.  The  regular 
Friday  luncheon  at  which  distinguished  guests  address 
the  club  had  to  be  abandoned  altogether,  and  the 
committee  luncheons,  after  a  year  of  experimentation, 
were  likewise  given  up.  For  this  reason,  no  part 
of  the  new  club  house  is  more  appreciated  and  en- 
joyed than  the  spacious,  airy  dining  room  where  ev- 
ery Friday  members  may  gather  for  luncheon  and 
again  listen  to  the  wit  and  wisdom  of  the  club's  guests. 

The  committees,  too,  are  once  more  at  home  in  an 
environment  that  makes  their  efficient  functioning 
possible.  This  is  of  great  moment,  for  the  life  and 
success  of  the  club  depends  in  no  small  measure  upon 
the  vitality  of  the  Public  Affairs,  Literature  and 
Drama  committees.  The  large  gathering  on  Friday 
mornings  where  some  one  speaker  addresses  us,  or 
where  we  witness  a  play  or  listen  to  a  musical  pro- 
gram is  not  enough  to  weld  together  our  member- 
ship. It  is  in  the  comparatively  small  group  that 
ideas  are  developed  and  fostered  and  from  which  in- 
fluence spreads  in  ever  widening  circles.  It  is  in  the 
small  group,  too,  that  opportunity  for  discussion  pre- 
sents itself,  the  mutual  give  and  take,  and  personal 
contacts  are  made.  The  large  group,  the  club  as  a 
whole,  in  fact,  derives  much  of  its  life,  and,  to  a 
degree,  takes  its  character  from  the  smaller  groups 
which  for  this  reason  should  be  adequately  main- 
tained. 

The  Committee  on  Public  Affairs  has  always  been 
recognized  as  an  important  part  of  the  club's  activ- 
ity, and  it  has  given  to  the  club  a  certain  stamp  of 
civic-mindedness  by  which  the  club  is  known.  The 
committee  itself  has  a  dignified  standing  and  import- 
ance in  the  community,  so  that  professional  men  and 
men  of  affairs  consider  it  worth  their  while  to  speak 
at  the  Public  Affairs  luncheons.  A  notable  instance 
of  this  was  given  at  the  May  luncheon  when  three 
professors  from  three  departments  of  the  University 
of  Southern  California  contributed  to  the  program  on 
Equality  in  a  Democracy.  They  approached  the 
subject  from  the  psychological,  the  sociological  and 
economic,  and  the  educational  viewpoints  and  laid  a 
broad  foundation  for  constructive  thought  along  these 
lines,  enabling  us  to  grasp  the  vision  of  a  growing 
democracy  which  should  merit  the  definition  of  "great 
thoughts    universally    held." 

In  bringing  the  work  of  her  committee  to  a  close 
for  the  season,  the  chairman  of  Public  Affairs  made 
a  suggestion  for  the  future  activity  of  this  depart- 
ment that  would  seem  to  promise  a  closer  alignment 
with  the  club  as  a  whole,  and  would  make  the 
investigations  of  the  eleven  sub-committees  bear  fruit 
in  action  taken  by  the  club.  The  suggestion  was  that 
the  Public  Affairs  Committee  should  hold  a  board 
meeting  every  week  at  the  same  time  that  the  Board 
of  Directors  of  the  club  is  meeting.  That  the  sub- 
chairmen  should  at  this  time  bring  in  the  reports 
of  their  investigations  so  that  they  might  be  consid- 
ered and  discussed,  and  if  any  action  was  deemed 
necessary  that  the  Board  of  Directors  could  at  once 
be  communicated  with  and  the  desired  action  re- 
quested. The  province  of  the  Public  Affairs  Com- 
mittee is  to  bring  forward  matters  pertaining  to  the 
welfare  of  city,  state  and  nation,  and  the  method 
of  procedure  outlined  would  lend  the  sanction  and 
support  of  the  whole  club  to  such  proposals  as  met 
with  their  apporavl,  and  facilitate  action. 

The  place  Literature  and  Drama  take  in  the  life 
of  the  club  is  too  well  known  to  need  comment.  Of 
themselves    these    committees    attract    the    interest    of 


all  those  who  feel  the  desirability  of  keeping  in  touch 
with  the  best  thought  of  the  time,  who  seek  enrich- 
ment of  life  through  fine  prose,  poetry  and  drama. 
The  programs  presented  by  these  committees  at  their 
monthly  luncheons  often  rival  those  given  on  Friday 
morning,  and  we  cannot  doubt  that  under  the  favorable 
conditions  afforded  by  the  new  clubhouse  these  pro- 
grams will  increase  in  popularity  and  will  add  much 
10  the  prestige  of  the  club. 

Thus,  in  the  years  to  come,  will  the  noble  struc- 
ture we  have  built  be  dedicated  anew  to  the  aims 
and  aspirations  of  women;  to  the  human  interests 
of  the  age  in  which  we  live,  to  the  betterment  of 
society,   to    a   finer   conception   of   citizenship. 

The  new  clubhouse  was  placed  at  the  disposal  of 
ihe  Local  Biennial  Committee  for  the  use  of  the  con- 
vention, June  3  to  13.  In  the  art  gallery  on  the  fifth 
floor  an  exhibition  of  California  Art  was  held  under 
the  Art  Chairman,  G.F.W.C,  Mrs.  Rose  V.  S.  Berry. 
The  library  and  lounge  on  the  second  floor  were 
used  for  the  exhibit  of  the  Literature  Department, 
G.F.W.C,  and  C.  C.  Parker  had  on  display  an 
interesting  collection  of  new  books.  Here,  also,  was 
held  an  engaging  series  of  book  talks  by  different 
state  chairmen  of  the  Department  of  Literature.  The 
whole  clubhouse  was  open  each  day  of  the  conven- 
tion to  visiting  delegates,  and  every  afternoon  tea 
was  served  for  them  in  the  dining  room. 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  SAN 
PEDRO 

By  Mrs.  Harold  McDON.'iLDj  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Club  of  San  Pedro  is  increasing 
its  membership  very  rapidly,  nearly  33  per  cent  gain 
this  year;  due  partly  to  the  large  percentage  of  youth- 
ful members,  but  primarily  to  the  vast  number  of  new 
residents  who  are  locating  here.  The  club,  like  the 
city  and  harbor,  is  growing  apace.  Having  outgrown 
the  club  house  built  nine  years  ago,  a  building  fund 
has  been  established,  and  funds  are  steadily  being 
added. 

One  of  the  most  ingenious  means  of  raising  money, 
was  a  "Fashion  Revue,"  staged  by  a  group  of  the 
younger  members;  where  beauty  of  color,  fabric  and 
design  was  delightfully  mingled  with  the  beauty  of 
flowers,  music  and  personal  charm  of  the  "Model 
Members,"  and  a  handsome  profit  was  realized.  The 
outstanding  event  of  the  year  was  the  concert  by  our 
California  nightingale,  Ellen  Beach  Yaw,  on  May  15. 

The  "City  Beautiful"  plan  is  being  effectively 
carried  on  by  the  civic  commission.  The  schooi 
children  are  working  with  great  zest  to  win  for  their 
school  the  handsome  silver  cup,  which  was  presented 
by  Mrs.  Thomas  Baker,  for  the  purpose  of  stimulat- 
ing interest  in  the  campaign.  Money  prizes  will  also 
be  awarded  to  the  school  whose  district  has  the  neat- 
est  home   surroundings,    and   most   beautiful   gardens. 

We  have  a  very  enthusiastic  "Community  Sing," 
under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  Charles  Colden,  and 
sponsored   by  the   Woman's   Club. 

A  "Children's  Chorus"  is  being  organized  by  Mrs. 
William  Day  Moore  and  a  great  deal  of  interest 
manifested. 

A  music  section  led  by  Mrs.  Charles  Houghton  is 
accomplishing  lasting  results,  and  is  well  attended. 
The  drama  section,  Milton  Stevens,  director,  will 
soon  be  producing  one-act  plays.  The  proceeds  will 
go   towards   the   building  fund. 

Every  effort  is  being  exerted  toward  making  our 
membership  100  per  cent  voters;  and  "Hospitality 
to  the  Stranger  Within  Our  City"   is  our  watchword.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 

THE  YEAR'S  PROGRAMS 
By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  C liairman 


The  close  of  the  club  year  seems  a  particularly 
appropriate  time  to  review  the  programs  of  the  sea- 
son. Notwfthstanding  the  success  of  the  study  sections 
and  the  benefit  of  the  social  activities,  the  afternoon 
program  continues  the  outstanding  feature  of  club  life. 

During  the  past  year  the  Woman's  Club  of  Holly- 
wood has  been  most  fortunate  in  having  Mrs.  Orville 
L.  Routt  as  first  vice-president  and  program  chair- 
man. Her  problem  of  securing  the  best  speakers  in  the 
most  interesting  fields  of  work  has  been  a  difficult 
one.  Nevertheless,  a  brief  consideration  of  the  repre- 
sentative figures  whom  she  brought  before  her  club 
will  prove  with  what  discrimination  she  performed 
her  task. 

Vilhjmur  Stefansson  was  perhaps  the  outstanding 
figure  of  the  season.  His  lecture  in  "The  Friendly 
Arctic"  had  all  the  fascination  of  his  book  on  the  same 
subject.  Over  a  thousand  people  were  present  to 
hear  the  corrections  of  the  pet  Arctic  untruths  of 
their  school  geographies. 

Count  Ilya  Tolstoy  was  another  outstanding  figure. 
His  first  hand  knowledge  of  a  subject  that  is  of 
world  wide  interest,  Russia,  was  a  revelation  of  the 
immediate  ruination  of  a  country  controlled  by  Bol- 
shevism. Some  time  previous  to  Count  Tolstoy's  ap- 
pearance, Hermione  Schwed  of  the  National  Asso- 
ciation for  Constitutional  Government,  had  provided 
food  for  thought  in  her  lecture  on  the  perils  to  this, 
our  own  republic,  by  the  propaganda  system  which 
she  says  exists  here  now. 

Other  countries,  too,  were  brought  closer  when  Dr. 
Robert  Freeman,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Pasadena,  talked  on  "Alaska,"  and  Upton 
Close  (Josef  Washington  Hall)  related  his  personal 
experiences  in  China  during  the  students'  uprising. 

In  the  field  of  literature,  the  Hollywood  Club 
boasted  many  high  lights.  Rebecca  West,  the  "newly 
arrived"  British  novelist,  made  her  first  speech  before 
a  Los  Angeles  Club  audience  in  Hollywood.  William 
McFee,  another  English  novelist,  a  sea-going  novelist 
who  is  running  a  close  second  to  Joseph  Conrad,  gave 
a  splendid  talk  on  the  Mediterranean  ports  as  he 
knows  them.  Opie  Read,  American  author  and  hum- 
orist, furnished  an  interesting  discussion  of  "Human 
Nature  and  politics."  John  G.  Neihardt,  poet  laureate 
of  Nebraska,  made  his  first  appearance  in  the  West 
at  the  Hollywood  Club.  He  read  from  his  newest 
epic  "Song  of  the  Indian  Wars."  In  a  literary  con- 
nection, also,  Helen  E.  Haines,  an  instructor  in  the 
Los  Angeles  Library  School,  outlined  the  types  and 
tendencies   in  the  modern   school  of  fiction. 

Science  was  represented  by  Dr.  Mars  Baumgardt, 
director  of  the  Clark  Observatory,  who  has  a  most 
interesting  way  of  presenting  scientific  matter  in  story 
book  form.  His  subject  was  "Bringing  the  Stars 
Down  to  the  People."  Dr.  Edwin  E.  Slosson,  scientist, 
editor,  and  author,  lectured  on  "The  Changing  World 
of  Science."  It  is  Dr.  Slosson's  contention  that  man's 
scientific  knowledge  will  lead  to  his  downfall  unless 
his  spiritual  growth  keeps  pace  with  his  mental  de- 
velopment. 

Many  musical  programs  were  offered  during  the 
season — the  appearance  of  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber Music  Society  in  a  Christmas  Concert  being  the 
foremost.  The  Zoellner  Quartet  gave  one  delightful 
concert — the  Orpheus  Four  another.  Celeste  Nellie- 
Ryus  with  W.  R.  Guiberson  furnished  a  musical  after- 
noon that  was  an  innovation  and  Alice  Forsythe 
Mosher,  soprano,  with  Ilya  Bronson,  'cellist,  con- 
tributed   another   lovely   program. 


In  the  dramatic  field  these  well  known  artists 
appeared:  Frederick  Warde,  Arthur  Kachel,  Mar- 
ion Tracie  Whiting,  Marion  Craig  Wentworth,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Winter  Hall,  and  the  Gilmore  Brown  Com- 
munity Players  in  a  presentation  of  George  Bernard 
Shaw's    "Arms   and   the   Man." 

Milford  W.  Howard,  who  founded  the  Master 
Schools  for  the  children  of  mountaineers  in  the 
backwoods  of  Lookout  Mountain,  described  the  work 
of  his  school. 

Samuel  McChord  Crothers,  pastor  of  the  First  Uni- 
tarian Church  of  Boston,  discoursed  on  "The  Advanc- 
ing Frontier  of  Morals."  Dr.  H.  K.  Booth,  pastor 
of  the  First  Congregational  Church  at  Long  Beach, 
made  a  plea  for  the  rights  of  the  Indians  in  an  ad- 
dress that  he  called  "America  and  the  First  Am- 
ericans." 

Dallas  Lore  Sharp,  the  naturalist,  decried  in  a 
recent  address  before  the  club,  the  present  day  meth- 
ods of  living  that  have  failed  to  produce,  one  great 
poet,  or  philosopher  in  a  population  of  100,000,000 
people. 

Captain  Paul  Perigord  represented  the  spirit  of 
world  peace  in  his  lecture.  He  described  the  neces- 
sity for  an  international  patriotism  rather  than  a 
national   consciousness. 

Charlotte  Perkins  Gilman,  the  feminist,  who  has 
been  called  one  of  the  twelve  greatest  women  living, 
proved  her  claim  to  that  honor  in  the  brilliant  talk 
the  gave  during  March.  Her  subject  "His  Religion 
and  Hers"  embraced  an  outline  of  the  comparative 
positions  of  men  and  women.  Her  lecture  was  re- 
ferred to  in  reviews  as  the  outstanding  lecture  in 
club  circles  this  year. 

The  club  itself  furnished  one  delightful  program  on 
Reciprocity  Day.  At  the  suggestion  of  Mrs.  John  F. 
Mead,  president,  no  outside  talent  was  presented  that 
day.  The  entire  program  was  supplied  by  club  sec- 
tions in  a  review  of  their  accomplishments  during  the 
season. 

The  foregoing  names  reveal  just  what  Mrs.  Routt 
has  done  in  her  official  capacity  of  program  chair- 
man. She  has  set  a  standard  that  will  keep  the 
Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood  among  the  foremost 
in  the  city  and  a  standard  for  which  her  club  members 
are   deeply  grateful. 


SATURDAY  AFTERNOON  CLUB 
OF  BANNING 

By  Estelle  Ingelow,  Press  Chairman 
The  Saturday  Afternoon  Club  of  Banning  has  had 
a  very  interesting  and  successful  year.  We  have 
(jaid  off  an  indebtedness  on  the  club  house,  incurred 
by  repairs  and  improvements.  We  have  purchased 
and  nearly  paid  for  a  piano.  Owing  to  the  need  for 
these  expenditures  we  have  had  to  provide  our  pro- 
grams by  home  talent,  very  largely.  One  on  "The 
Libraries  of  the  World,"  given  by  our  president, 
Mrs.  Montieth,  which  was  one  of  the  best  things 
of  the  year;  another  program,  given  by  the  Indio 
Club  on  Hungarian  music  was  much  enjoyed  by 
our  club.  A  fashion  show  and  revue,  beginning 
with  models  wearing  dresses  of  the  Civil  War  Pe- 
riod and  on  up  to  the  present  time  followed  bv  a  dis- 
play of  the  latest  fashions  put  on  by  the  home  mer- 
chants and  Redlands  first.  The  artists'  colony  of 
Laguna  gave  us  two  programs  of  exceptional  inter- 
est, including  an  art  exhibit  of  forty  pictures,  which 
we  were  allowed  to  keep  on  exhibition  for  several 
days.

To  quote  an  editorial,  by  the  writer,  in  the  Teachers' 
Club  Bulletin: 

"Into    the    great,    gaping    wound    which    hate    and 


greed  have  torn  in  the  misguided  heart  of  mankind, 
must  be  poured  the  healing  balm  of  a  love  that 
seeketh  not  her  own.  The  way  of  redemption  lies 
with  the  children. 

"Already  the  work  has  been  begun — begun  by 
America,  the  strong,  young  foster  mother,  who  has 
nourished  the  starving  children  of  her  worn  and 
weary  sisters.  The  children  of  American  must  break 
the  bread  of  friendship  with  the  children  of  the  world. 
Nor  is  this  as  difficult  as  it  appears.  God  has  created 
man  the  friend  of  man;  the  child  is  friendly  to  his 
race.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


SANTA  MONICA  BAY  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

Mrs.  E.  R.  Maule,  Press  Chairman 


Perhaps  no  club  better  combines  the  holiday  play- 
time spirit  of  Southern  California  with  the  high 
ideals  of  service  along  lines  of  general  culture,  edu- 
cation, child  welfare,  social  service  and  philanthropic 
work,  than  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club, 
situated  a  few  blocks  from  the  curving,  crescent  beach 
whtre  the  foaming  lines  of  breakers  of  the  great  Pa- 
cific Ocean  roll  ceaselessly  in  soothing  rhythm,  reach- 
ing their  long,lacy  fingers  across  the  golden  sands 
in  appeal  to  the  sun-browned  dreamer  somnolently 
basking  on  the  shore.  To  sport  among  these  cool 
green  waves,  or  to  ride  above  them  in  frisking 
speed  boat  when  all  the  world  seems  a-glitter  with 
sunlight  and  reflecting  gleams  are  daily  privileges  of 
the  happy  denizens  of  Santa  Monica  Bay,  privileges 
which  the  clubwomen  are  not  loath  to  enjoy  and  which 
they  shared  with  the  visiting  delegates  to  the  Bi- 
ennial when  the  official  "Play  Day,"  June  7,  sent 
four  hundred  of  them  to  the  Beach  Club  for  enter- 
tainment. 

The  pretty  yellow  and  white  stucco  clubhouse,  at 
1210  Fourth  street,  with  its  clinging  ivy  vines  and 
graceful  pepper  trees,  welcomed  these  delegates  after 
they  had  been  driven  out  from  Los  Angeles  by  way 
of  the  bautiful  Soldiers'  Home  at  Sawtelle  and  the 
far-famed  lovely  plateau  of  the  Pacific  Palisades. 
Luncheon  was  served  by  the  hostess  clubwomen  at  the 
clubhouse  and  then  the  guests  were  taken  to  what- 
ever part  of  the  beach  and  its  frolics  appealed  to 
their  individual  tastes  for  several  hours  of  pure  re- 
laxation before  returning  to  town  by  way  of  Culver 
Cit}'.  Coming  in  the  midst  of  the  serious  business 
sessions  of  the  biennial  this  relaxation  proved  a  real 
boon. 

The  motto  of  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Club  is 
"Growth  Through  Service"  and  certainly  the  splen- 
did growth  noticeable  this  past  year,  when  more 
than  three  hundred  new  members  have  joined,  shows 
that  the  club  is  serving  a  real  need  in  the  commun- 
ity. Mrs.  Joseph  G.  Braun,  the  retiring  president, 
who   for   her  two  very   successful   terms   has   done   so 


much  to  foster  all  movements  aiming  to  better  the 
conditions  surrounding  children  in  the  Bay  District, 
can  well  be  proud  of  the  achievements  as  to  both 
physical  and  intellectual  influences  by  which  the  grow- 
ing generation  will  be  benefited.  Briefly  the  club 
activities  which  have  aided  the  cause  of  child  con- 
servation are  as  follows:  a  child  welfare  section  meet- 
ing each  wee,  winter  and  summer,  has  weighed 
and  charted  and  given  diet  advices  to  an  average  at- 
tendance of  thirty  babies,  nearly  four  thousand  rec- 
ords being  filled  for  the  two  year  period;  an  auxiliary 
of  this  section,  meeting  bi-weekly,  where  the  psychol- 
ogy of  children  is  studied,  has  been  of  inestimable 
help  to  harassed  mothers  whose  problems  are  half 
solved  in  finding  that  they  are  shared;  a  children's 
chorus,  which  aimed  to  interest  the  developing  musi- 
cal sense  to  an  appreciation  of  something  better  than 
jazz,  has  filled  each  Saturday  morning  with  glee  for 
the  3'outhful  choristers;  definite  financial  help  has 
been  given  to  the  Children's  Orthopedic  Home,  the 
Juvenile  Protective  Association  and  the  local  Boy 
Scouts. 

High  School  boys  and  girls  have  had  their  share 
of  club  attention  also,  monthly  dances  in  the  club- 
house under  the  chaperonage  of  groups  of  club  mem- 
bers, who  have  delighted  in  adding  personal  touches 
to  the  decorations  and  arrangements,  having  proven 
by  their  popularity  that  they  filled  a  real  need.  The 
formation  of  a  thriving  Junior  Auxiliary  early  in  the 
present  year  attested  the  interest  the  younger  women 
of  the  community  have  for  the  aims  sponsored  by 
the  Mother  Club,  and  their  wish  to  be  part  of  this 
fine  cultural  movement  for  "Growth  Through 
Service." 

To  Mrs.  D.  G.  Stephens,  founder  and  president 
emeritus  of  the  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club,  is 
due  in  a  large  sense  the  spirit  of  loving  service  to  the 
community  which  animates  this  group  of  her  "daugh- 
ters," the  newest  one  of  whom  to  assume  the  reins 
of  government  being  Mrs.  Neil  S.  Duckels,  president- 
elect. 


WOMAN'S  CIVIC  LEAGUE  OF  PASADENA 

By  Marian  H.  Wallace,  Press  Chairman 


As  the  biennial  convention  brought  a  realization 
of  the  immensity  and  inestimable  worth  of  the  work 
of  the  officers  of  the  General  Federation,  the  Woman's 
Civic  League  of  Pasadena  is  more  than  ever  thrilled 
with  pride  at  its  inception.  For  it  was  due  to  the 
inspiration  and  personal  direction  of  Mrs.  Robert  J. 
Burdette  that  the  league  came  into  being  in  1911. 
The  chief  object  for  its  foundation  was  civic  educa- 
tion and  service.  Believing  that  unity  of  strength 
meant  accomplishment  of  purpose,  its  founders  en- 
deavored to  provide  women  who  desired  to  keep 
in  touch  with  advanced  information  on  social,  eco- 
nomic and  industrial  conditions  in  order  that  they 
might  give  intelligent  and  eflfective  co-operation  in 
the  promotion  of  the  civic  advancement  of  their  city, 
state    and    nation. 

It  was  organized  as  a  luncheon  club,  meeting  on  the 
first  Monday  of  each  month  from  October  to  June 
inclusive.  Each  year  has  marked  a  growth  both  in 
its  membership  and  the  widening  of  its  interests.  It 
now  has  an  enrollment  of  700  members  and  no  longer 
confines  its  activities  to  local  questions  but  gives  its 
attention  and  support  even  to  international  affairs. 
With  this  widening  in  scope  came  the  affiliation  with 
the  District  and  State  Federations  in  1920  and  the 
General  Federation  in  1922. 


Inspiration  and  information  is  brought  to  the  mem- 
bers through  the  messages  of  prominent  people  who 
address  the  general  meetings  or  through  the  discus- 
sion by  experts  of  different  phases  of  an  important 
issue.  Within  a  year  it  has  welcomed  such  distin- 
guished persons  as  Mme.  Slavko  Grouitch,  wife  of 
the  former  Serbian  Minister,  Dr.  Robert  A.  Millikan, 
Miss  Eleanor  Miller,  Assemblywoman,  and  many 
others,  and  has  heard  discussions  on  such  important 
issues  as  the  introduction  of  a  city  planning  and 
zoning  system,  the  building  of  a  civic  center,  and  the 
establishment  of  a  Junior  College. 

The  actual  work  of  the  League  is  done  by  com- 
mittees acting  under  the  guidance  of  the  Executive 
Board.  The  Committee  on  Public  Affairs,  Mrs.  James 
S.  Bennett,  chairman,  functions  as  the  civic  senses — 
eyes  and  ears — of  the  League,  making  as  many  con- 
tacts as  possible  with  the  vital  activities  of  the  city. 
It  sends  representatives  to  the  meetings  of  such  or- 
ganizations as  the  City  Directors  and  the  Board  of 
Education  in  order  to  suggest  and  initiate  measures  as 
well  as  to  lend  support  to  favorable  ones  being  pro- 
moted by  these  organizations.  It  acts  as  a  bureau  of 
assistance  and  information  for  people  who  desire  ad- 
vice on  civic  matters  and  is  especially  helpful  in  the 
protection   of   citizens'   privileges   by   interpreting   city

Help  the  Unemployed 


BY 


Buying  California  Products! 

And  at  the  Same  Time 

Help  Yourself  and  California 


The  grotcth  of  business  and  industry  in  California  is  not  keeping 
pace  with  the  vast  increase  in  population,  chiefly  by  newcomers  who 
must  quickly  find  remunerative  employment. 

TJ  ork  for  them  can  only  be  created  by  speeding  up  the  wheels  of 
commerce  which,  in  turn,  can  only  be  accomplished  by  an  increased 
demand  for  the  product  of  California  factories. 

If  everybody  will  buy  California-made  goods,  when  they  can  do  so 
to  equal  or  better  advantage  than  by  buying  goods  made  elsewhere, 
our  factory  output  will  be  quadrupled  to  meet  the  demand. 


Such  a  condition  will  not  only  mean  w^ork  for  everybody 
cuid  the  removal  of  a  source  of  potential  peril  from  unem- 
ployment. 

It  will  mean  bigger  payrolls,  more  money  kept  in  circula- 
tion in  California,  a  tremendous  stimulus  to  every  line  of 
business,  bigger  realty  values,  lower  taxes,  greater  pros- 
perity.

regulations  or  elucidating  and  printing  in  popular 
language  the  ordinances  most  frequently  and  inno- 
cently broken.  Co-operating  with  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation it  has  fostered  a  class  for  the  Study  of  "Cali- 
fornia's  Method    of    School   Financing." 

The  Health  and  Sanitation  Committee,  Mrs.  Peter 
Orban,  chairman,  has  done  much  through  investi- 
gation and  education  in  assisting  the  regular  official 
organizations  of  the  city  in  their  effort  to  maintain 
a  high  standard  of  sanitation  especially  in  public 
iilaces  where  foods  are  dispensed.  As  milk  repre- 
sentative, Mrs.  Louis  H.  Mitchell  has  been  persistent 
in  her  efforts  to  secure  for  Pasadena  the  best  pos- 
sible milk   and  water  supply. 

State,  national  and  international  problems  have 
been  studied  in  the  Legislation  and  International  Rela- 
tions Committee,  Mrs.  Datus  C.  Smith,  chairman,  and 
support   by    resolution   given   many   important   bills. 

The  Citizenship  Committee,  Mrs.  S.  Ives  Wallace, 
chairman,  extends  friendliness  to  the  foreigners,  wel- 
comes naturalized  citizens,  assists  them  in  under- 
standing American  traditions  and  ideals,  and  makes 
their  needs  known  to  the  proper  authorities.  It  at- 
tempts to  instruct  all  citizens  in  correct  patriotic  ob- 
servances, especially  by  encouraging  the  display  and 
correct   use   of   the   flag. 

That  the  three  committees,  the  Program,  Miss  Mary 
Wallace  Weir,  chairman;  Membership  and  Hospital- 
ity, Mrs.  F.  W.  Coon,  chairman;  Luncheon,  Mrs. 
George  C.  Sharp,  chairman,  have  made  the  general 
meetings  a  success  is  attested  by  the  large  attendance 
and   enthusiasm  at  each  metting. 

The  force  behind  all  of  this  activity  is  the  wise 
and  altruistic  Executive  Board,  composed  of  the  fol- 
lowing women:  Mrs.  Maynard  Force  Thayer,  presi- 
dent; Mrs.  Frank  S.  Wallace,  first  vice-president; 
Mrs.  M.  Grant  Edmands,  second  vice-president;  Mrs. 
Mrs.  George  H.  Martin,  secretary;  Mrs.  Edwin  F.

Mrs.  Charles  Ashcroft,  Mrs.  David  L.  Murray,  direc- 
tors and  Miss  Mary  Wallace  Weir. 


NATURE    STUDY    FOUNDA- 
TION FOR  GOOD  CITI- 
ZENSHIP 

By  Mrs.   F.    T.  Bicknell,  State    Chairman   Birds   and 
Natural  Life 

One  of  the  strongest  arguments  for  nature  study 
in  our  public  schools,  is  its  refining  influence,  mentally, 
morally  and  physically,  upon  the  youth  of  our  coun- 
try. The  economic  value  of  our  natural  resources 
always  impresses  the  public. 

The   aesthetic  value   interests    and   pleases. 

The  social  value  weaves  the  subject  into  the  prac- 
tical,  co-operative    activities    of    women's    clubs. 

The  spiritual  value  appeals  to  the  highest  ideals 
in  us  all. 

All  of  these  values  are  beneficial  to  mankind  even 
as  a  study.  The  child  who  loves  nature,  owns  the 
earth.  His  trees,  birds,  flowers  and  chipmunks  con- 
stitute his  world,  absorb  his  thoughts,  mould  his  ac- 
tions and  fill  his  life. 

Through  his  love  for  them,  he  is  taught  observance 
of  law,  self-denial,  the  rights  of  others,  protection 
and  peace. 

The  desire  to  injure  or  kill  is  overcome  by  his 
absorbing  interest  in  their  habits,  his  mercy  toward 
all  his  little  wild  brothers  of  the  forest,  stream  and 
air. 

Nature  study  trains  the  eye  to  observe,  the  ear  to 
listen,  the  tongue  to  keep  silent,  the  mind  to  be  alert 
and  the  heart  to  be  patient. 

It  teaches  indepndent  thinking,  individual  respon- 
sibility, justness  and  a  love  for  God's  out-of-doors. 

All  of  this  training  and  development  of  the  child 
makes  for  good  citizenship  in  the  man,  and  good  citi- 
zenship is  the  foundation  for  world  citizenship  and 
world   peace.

THE  SAN  DIEGO  CLUB 

Mrs.  D.  W.  Hartman,  Press  Chairman 


The  San  Diego  Club,  with  its  able  and  efficient 
jiresident.  Mrs.  A.  C.  Stewart,  has  forged  ahead  in  a 
most   successful    manner   during   the   past   year. 

The  meeting  of  the  year  that  came  the  nearest  to 
registering  a  100  per  cent  membership  attendance  was 
the  annual  anniversary  luncheon.  Following  the 
luncheon,  twelve  past  presidents,  including  the  club's 
first  president,  Mrs.  G.  H.  Ballou,  staged  an  informal 
dramatic  symposium  of  the  splendid  work  that  has 
been  accomplished  by  tne  club  since  its  organization, 
thirty-two  years   ago. 

Throughout  the  year  keen  interest  in  the  six  de- 
partmental branches  has  been  maintained.  The  Eco- 
nomics and  Civics  programmed  "Know  Your  Own 
Community." 

The  Drama  department  staged  several  plays  with 
its  more  serious  study  of  the  Greek,  Russian  and 
French   drama. 

In  the  Books  and  Conversation  department,  two 
books  have  been  reviewed  by  members  of  the  depart- 
ment at  each  meeting. 

The  Art  and  Travel  department  has  made  an  ex- 
naustive  study  of  the  "Islands  of  the  Pacific,"  with 
papers,  screen  showings  and  exhibits.  Many  of  its 
meetings  have  been  conducted  by  those  who  for  sev- 
eral years  had   resided   on  the  Islands. 

The  Girls'  Auxiliary  has  programmed  two  of  the 
club's  alternate  meetings,  and  more  than  doubled  its 
own   membership   during  the  year. 


The  social  side  of  departmental  work  has  not  been 
forgotten.  The  Arts  and  Crafts,  with  its  bi-monthly 
all-day  meetings  and  luncheons,  has  also  served  three 
turkey   dinners   and   given    several   card    parties. 

The  club  has  been  federated  since  1896,  and  claims 
to  have  organized  the  first  County  Federation  in  the 
state. 

With  a  goal  of  philanthropic,  literary  and  social 
development,  there  is  provided  a  channel  whereby 
each  one  of  the  club's  six  hundred  members  may  find 
her  individual  interest. 

Regular  meetings  are  held  every  Tuesday  of  the 
club  year,  with  programs  that  are  really  worth-while; 
chosen  with  the  ideal  blending  of  entertainment,  in- 
struction  and   inspiration. 

While  the  club  has  been  most  fortunate  in  owning 
its  club  house,  it  has  realized,  with  its  increased 
development,  the  necessity  for  a  larger  establishment. 
With  rentals,  entertainments,  lectures  and  musicals, 
in  which  all  departments  have  co-operated  in  pro- 
ducing, sufficient  funds  have  been  raised  to  start  the 
enterprise.  Plans  are  now  well  under  way  for  a 
modern  up-to-date  club  house,  that  will  be  equipped 
to  meet  every  demand. 

The  achievements  of  those  who  have  gone  before, 
have  been  inspirational.  May  co-operation,  concert  of 
action  and  purpose,  enable  us  to  accomplish  new  at- 
tainments and  broadened  objectives  for  the  inspira- 
tion of  those  who  come  after  us.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  SANTA  ANA  EBELL 
SOCIETY 

By  Mrs.   Cora  Stephenson 

Organized  Nov.  14,  1894,  with  a  membership  of 
forty,  the  Santa  Ana  Ebell  has  grown  through  the 
thirty  intervening  years  to  a  club  of  nearly  four  hun- 
dred and  fifty  active  members  who  will  move  this 
month  into  the  handsome  new  club  house  for  which 
they  have  always  hoped  and  planned,  and  which  has 
now   become   a  most  delightful   reality. 

The  Santa  Ana  Ebell  has  always  been  prominently 
identified  with  community  welfare  work  of  every  sort, 
and  holds  a  very  enviable  place  in  the  regard  of  its 
townspeople.  A  liberal  contributor  to  every  worthy 
cause  it  has  been  asked  to  aid,  the  Ebell  Club  has 
been  rewarded  with  an  equally  liberal  response  to  its 
appeal  for  co-operation  in  the  building  of  its  club 
house.  The  club  house  is  an  unusually  attractive 
building  of  the  Spanish  type;  and  is  situated  in  one 
of  Santa  Ana's  most  desirable  residence  districts.  It 
will  serve  not  only  as  a  beautiful  home  for  the  Ebell 
Club,  but  will  also  figure  prominently  in  the  social 
and  cultural  life  of  the  city.  When  the  club  house 
was  dedicated,  on  the  afternoon  of  Monday,  May  26, 
there  were  seated  upon  the  platform  with  Mrs.  Angus 
J.  Crookshank,  Ebell's  fourteenth  president,  the  thir- 
teen women  who  have  preceded  her  in  the  president's 
chair. 

The  dedicatory  talk  was  given  by  Mrs.  W.  S.  Bart- 
lett  of  Los  Angeles,  who  was  the  Santa  Ana  Ebell's 
i"irst  president,  and  who  has  ever  since  that  time  been 
a  beloved  figure  in  Los  Angeles  and  in  state  club 
circles.  Mrs.  E.  D.  Buss  of  Bakersfield,  Ebell's  sec- 
ond president,  who  has  since  been  president  of  the 
California  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,   also   spoke. 

Santa  Ana  Ebell's  pet  philanthropy  is  a  day  nurs- 
eiy  which  it  has  supported  for  the  past  twelve  years 
and  where  the  children  of  working  mothers  are  given 
the  best  of  care. 


HIGHLAND  PARK  EBELL 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  George  F.  Cook,  Press  Chairman 
After  a  successful  year  as  president  of  Highland 
Park  Ebell  Club,  Mrs.  Harry  Louis  Stroh  was  re- 
elected as  were  all  of  the  other  officers.  New  direc- 
tors are  Mrs.  J.  R.  Keough,  Mrs.  Luella  Avery  and 
Mrs.  Carl  Plath,  chairman  of  Ways  and  Means,  who 
is  taking  the  place  of  Mrs.  Mary  G.  Osmond,  char- 
ter member  and  past  president,  who  resigned  after 
many  years   of  service. 

A  climax  was  reached  in  the  year's  splendid  pro- 
grams in  the  appearance  of  Frederick  Warde,  the 
great  Shakespearean  actor;  Prof.  B.  R.  Baumgardt, 
lecturer  on  "Egypt,  Palestine  and  Turkey" ;  Mrs.

fairs day;  Mrs.  John  C.  Urquhart,  state  president,  C. 
F.  W.  C.,  and  Arthur  B.  Kachel,  dramatic  teacher

Master"  at  the  closing  afternoon  meeting.  May  27. 
Installation  of  officers  took  place  and  tea  was  served. 
Worthwhile  attractions  were  provided  for  May 
by  the  sections.  Miss  Gertrude  Darlow  gave  book 
reviews  before  the  literature  section;  Miss  M.  Wini- 
fred Rouzee  described  "The  Trial  of  Christ  from  the 
Lawyer's  Standpoint,"  before  the  Bible  section.  Mrs. 
W.  R.  Myers  displayed  before  the  bird  and  flower 
section  color  sketches  of  wild  flowers  found  in  the 
vicinity  of  Garvanza  and  painted  by  Miss  M.  L. 
Hutchinson;  Mrs.  C.  W.  Foote  concluded  the  reading 
of  "Cymbeline"  before  the  Shakespeare  section;  Mrs. 
Anne  Virginia  Snowden  read  Philip  Barry's  "You 
and  I"   before  the  Drama  section,   and   Prof.  William 


Lee  Judson,  artist,  addressed  the  History  and  Land- 
mark section.  Art  and  Music  department  celebrated 
Music  Week  by  a  recital  of  Los  Angeles  composers  by 
club  members. 

The  rambler  section  enjoyed  an  outing  at  Las 
Flores  Canyon  as  guests  of  Mrs.  W.  D.  Craigmile  and 
the  section  members  were  hostesses  at  the  annual  pic- 
nic for  club  members  held  May  28  at  "The  Oaks," 
Camp  3,  Arroyo  Seco  Canyon,  at  the  cabin  of  Mrs. 
J.  G.  McMeekin. 

A  Mah  Jongg  party  was  held  Friday  afternoon, 
May  16,  and  a  "Hard  Times"  party,  Thursday  even- 
ing,  May  22. 

Delegates  chosen  for  the  biennial  convention,  G.  F. 
W.  C,  June  3-13,  were  Mrs.  Harry  Louis  Stroh,  Miss 
Martha  Winans  and  Mrs.  John  H.  Foley. 

Mrs.  William  R.  Myers,  past  president,  is  general 
and  district  chairman  of  birds  and  flowers.  Mrs. 
William  Waller  Slayden,  past  president  and  recording 
secretary  of  the  district,  was  chairman  of  halls  for 
the  biennial,  while  many  other  members  of  the  club 
utilized  their  talents  on  various  committees  for  the 
success   of   the   biennial. 


THE    GALPIN    SHAKESPEARE 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Caroline  S.  Bradley,  Press  Chairman 

At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Galpin  Shakespeare 
Club  on  Wednesday  morning.  May  14th,  Mrs.  Harry 
Bender,  a  popular  reader  in  Los  Angeles  clubdom, 
read    several    scenes    from   Richard    II. 

Mrs.  George  Roth  read  a  paper,  entitled  "A  Com- 
parison of  the  Kings  in   Shakespeare." 

Mrs.  T.  W.  Bulpin,  Mrs.  Robert  Robinson,  Miss 
Margaret  Phillipson,  Mrs.  George  Rice  and  others 
participated   in   a   Richard   II   symposium. 

Preceding  the  program,  an  election  of  officers  was 
held.  Those  elected  were:  Mrs.  Harry  Bender,  presi- 
dent; Mrs.  Robert  L.  Gillispie,  vice-president;  Mrs. 
C.  A.  Stavnow,  recording  secretary;  Miss  M.  E.  El- 
liot, corresponding  secretary;  Mrs.  W.  F.  Beau-de- 
Zart,  treasurer;  Mrs.  Robert  Robinson,  auditor;  Mrs. 
Frederick  B.   West,   director. 

The  president-elect,  Mrs.  Bender,  appointed  Mrs. 
H.  A.  McClain  to  represent  the  club  as  its  Federation 
secretary,  and  Mrs.  Caroline  S.  Bradley  was  re- 
appointed  as  press  chairman. 


LOS  ANGELES  AUDUBON 
SOCIETY 

Mrs.  Robert  Fargo,  Press  Chairman 
The  Los  Angeles  Audubon  Society  is  realizing  that 
it  has  passed  a  definite  landmark  in  its  progress 
through  the  years.  With  Mrs.  Bicknell  passing  up 
to  the  height  of  president  emeritus,  and  Mrs.  Holden 
coming  in  as  president,  a  new  impetus  will  be  given 
to  the  splendid  work  this  society  has  done.  At  its 
last  meeting  the  following  officers  were  installed: 
President,  Mrs.  Warren  J.  Holden;  first  vice-presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Z.  D.  Root;  second  vice-president,  Mrs.  C. 
B.  Raitt;  recording  secretary,  Mrs.  L.  S.  Hall;  corre- 
sponding secretary,  Mrs.  Estella  D.  Dyke;  treasurer, 
Mrs.  Grace  N.  Mix;  librarian.  Miss  Ruth  Spender. 
Mrs.  G.  H.  Schneider  and  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo  were 
made  honorary  members. 

After  her  farewell  address,  the  president  decorated 
each  of  the  officers  who  had  served  with  her  so  long, 
with  a  beautiful  little  gold  pin,  the  design  being  a 
bird  with  wings  wide-spread  glistening  with  tiny 
pearls.  Large  baskets  of  flowers  were  presented  to 
the  presidents  and  each  officer  was  also  remembered 
with  flowers.  Mrs.  Bicknell,  the  outgoing  president, 
entertained  her  executive  board  with  a  daintily  ap- 
pointed luncheon  served  by  the  Elite  caterers  of  Holly-

wood.  The  center  of  the  table  was  graced  by  a  basket 
of  gorgeous  flowers  carrying  the  club  colors  which 
are  those  of  the  Western  Tanager.  The  place  cards 
were  small  photographs  from  the  camera  of  the 
hostess,  of  three  Gulls,  one  of  them  laughing!  Fol- 
lowing the  luncheon  wit  and  wisdom  scintillated  in 
toasts  and  roasts  with  Mrs.  Robert  Fargo  as  toast 
mistress.  A  large  photograph  of  "The  Good  Ship 
Audubon"  which  has  been  steered  into  the  harbor  for 
the  last  time  by  its  skipper,  Mrs.  Bicknell,  was  pre- 
sented to  each  guest  as  a  souvenir  of  the  happy  occa 
sion. 

On  May  29  at  the  home  of  Miss  Helen  Pratt,  2451 
Ridgeview,  Eagle  Rock,  the  society  assembled  for  its 
last  bird  walk.  This  was  an  ideal  garden  party  with 
lunch  near  the  fountain  where  many  birds  come  to 
drink  and  to  bathe,  and  here  goodbyes  were  said 
"until  we  meet  again"  next  fall. 


LOS    ANGELES    SOROPTIMIST 
CLUB 

By    Gertrude    C.   Maynard,   Press    Chairman 

May  was  a  most  active  month  for  the  club,  as  in 
addition  to  having  a  membership  drive,  most  ex- 
cellent and  entertaining  programs  were  given  every 
Tuesday  noon.  Members  have  also  supported  and 
worked    in   several   campaigns. 

The  Easter  program  featured  Aimee  Semple  Mc- 
Pherson  of  Angelus  Temple,  Sol  Cohen,  violinist  and 
composer,  Claire  Forbes  Crane,  pianist  and  composer 
and   Constance  Balfour,  vocal   soloist. 

Some  fifty  new  members  were  enlisted  during  the 
drive  and  on  May  6  a  reception  was  held  for  the  new 
members. 


On  May  13  a  Mother's  Day  program  was  pre- 
sented  with   Carrie  Jacobs   Bond   as   honor  guest. 

Mrs.  Alice  E.  Cross,  a  member  of  the  Soroptimist 
Club,  was  one  of  the  majors  for  the  campaign  for  the 
purchase  and  maintenance  of  the  Los  Angeles  Busi- 
ness Girls'  Club  House,  sponsored  by  the  Business 
and  Professional  Women's  Club,  and  received  a  most 
hearty  support  by  the  members  of  the  Soroptimist  Club 
in  this  work. 

In  the  Salvation  Army  Drive,  the  Soroptimist  Club 
was  represented  with  a  group,  with  Dr.  Lillian  Grand- 
nason,  the  optometrist,  as  the  captain  of  her  group. 
The  rest  of  the  group  was  composed  of  Lena  R. 
Pepperdine,  Oda  Faulconer,  Eva  L.  Swager,  and  Sadie 
A.  Lyon;  $3869  was  collected  in  the  drive  by  this 
group.  As  the  Soroptimist  Club  is  only  two  years  old, 
they  feel  that  they  have  accomplished  a  great  deal, 
and  know  that  they  will  be  able  to  do  more  next  time. 
The  vice-president  of  the  drive  is  Grace  Stoermer, 
manager  of  the  Women's  Department  of  the  Bank  of 
Italy,   also   a  member  of  the  Soroptimist  Club. 

During  the  club  year  the  club  meets  at  the  Bilt- 
raore  every  Tuesday  noon  and  visiting  members  of 
any  of  the  clubs  are  most  cordially  invited  to  meet 
with  them  any  Tuesday  that  they  are  in  the  city. 

On  Tuesday,  May  27,  the  Soroptimist  Club  had  a 
surprise  birthday  party  for  its  president,  Mrs.  Hen- 
ley, giving  her  a  veritable  shower  of  flowers  and 
presents. 

This  meeting  unexpectedly  proved  to  be  the  last 
one  of  the  season,  owing  to  the  fact  that  Mrs.  Henley 
is  leaving  for  a  vacation  and  the  vice-president,  Mrs. 
Balfour,  will  not  be  able  to  be  present  for  several 
weeks. 

Therefore  all  meetings  were  adjourned  until  the 
first  Tuesday  in  August  when  they  will  be  taken  up  in 
regular  order  again.

The  CLUBWOMJN 


WEST  EBELL  OF  LOS  ANGELES 

By  Mrs.   S.   E.   Edgerton,   President 

The  membership  of  West  Ebell  has  increased  30  per 
cent  since  October,  1923,  and  our  club  house,  built  a 
year  and  a  half  ago,  is  so  inadequate  for  our  needs 
that  the  advisability  of  building  an  addition  is  under 
consideration.  The  dues  were  increased  last  fall, 
with  the  understanding  that  the  club  pay  the  instruc- 
tors of  sections,  which  heretofore  had  been  divided 
between  the  sections  and  the  club.  Under  the  new 
method,  the  sections  have  been  larger  and  the  interest 
keener. 

Our  sources  of  revenue  are  from  rentals  from  the 
club  house,  which  have  netted  over  $1100  since  July, 
1923;  our  annual  bazaar  in  the  autumn  brought  us 
$1000;  many  food  sales;  paid  entertainments  given  by 
the  sections,  and  the  weekly  luncheons  served  by  club 
members  divided  into  groups,  according  to  their  birth 
month.  This  plan  has  worked  successfully  for  three 
years.  A  new  rule  this  year  is  presenting  member- 
ship cards  for  admittance.  Four  guest  cards  are  given 
each  member,  and  other  guest  cards  may  be  obtained 
from  the  financial  secretary  for  a  small  sum.  This 
also  has  added  to  our  income.  In  all  these  ways, 
together  with  the  yearly  dues,  almost  $5,000  has  been 
taken  in  since  July  1,   1923. 

We  have  made  gifts  in  money  to  many  charitable 
organizations  and  helped  worthy  families  at  Christ- 
mas time  with  clothing  and  food.  At  a  Christmas  tree 
party,  our  children  brought  many  toys,  which  were 
sent  to  the  poor.  West  Ebell  is  a  member  of  the  Dis- 
trict, State  and  General  Federation,  and  we  have 
chairmen  attending  eighteen  of  the  department  con- 
ferences, and  many  district  chairmen  have  spoken  for 
us.  Many  of  our  members  were  on  committees  for  the 
biennial,  and  one  member  is  chairman  of  a  depart- 
ment. We  have  given  our  full  quota  to  the  General 
Federation  Headquarters  and  to  the  Biennial  Fund. 
A  Junior  Auxiliary  has  just  been  formed,  which  is 
full  of  promise.  I  have  found  from  investigation  that 
about  99  per  cent  of  our  membership  have  registered 
for   voting. 


AVERILL  STUDY  CLUB  OF 
LOS  ANGELES 

By   Harriette   L.   Rundel,  Press    Chairman 

The  Averill  Study  Club  extends  greetings  to  all 
clubdom  and  hopes  every  unit  has  been  as  busy  and 
prosperous  as  ours  through  this  club  year.  Ideals 
have  been  kept  steadily  before  us,  and  we  have  made 
an  honest  effort  to  fill  our  small  place  among  the  many 
organizations  of  the  federation,  most  of  which,  I  be- 
lieve, have  a  larger  membership  than  we. 

Our  club  year  closed  on  May  27.  Our  new  officers 
were  installed  at  the  club  luncheon  on  May  20.  Their 
names  are  as  follows:  President,  Mrs.  C.  B.  Slaughter; 
first  vice-president,  Mrs.  Wirt  C.  Smith;  second  vice- 
president,  Mrs.  Chas.  A.  Silk;  secretary,  Mrs.  W.  R. 
Wardner;    treasurer,    Mrs.   Lucile   W.    Doyle. 

May  the  next  year  make  as  fine  a  showing  in 
advancement  as  this  has  done,  and  the  whole  fed- 
eration feel  a  new  impulse  and  inspiration  to  do  even 
better  and  more  efficient  work. 


CALIFORNIA    HISTORY    AND 
LANDMARKS  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes,  President 

California  History  and  Landmarks  Club  was  joint 
hostess  with  friends  and  other  organizations  to  the 
biennial   delegates   on   Saturday,   June   7,  from   3   to   6 


p.  m.,  at  La  Casa  de  Cahuenga,  "Fremont-Pico" 
Memorial,  3719  Lankershim  Boulevard,  Los  Angeles. 
This  is  the  most  historic  site  in  California,  being  the 
place  where  the  Treaty  of  Cahuenga  was  signed  by 
Lt.-Col.  John  C.  Fremont  and  Gen.  Andres  Pico, 
Jan.  13,  1847,  whereby  California  came  into  the  sister- 
hood of  the  tfnited  States  of  America. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Adolph  Rivera — he  is  president  of 
Ramona  Parlor,  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West, 
and  custodian  of  the  place — were  "At  Home"  with  us 
to  greet  the  visitors  with  typical  open-handed  cordial 
California   style. 

The  interesting  old  stage  coach  of  Golden  Days  is 
there  and  many  other  relics. 


LOS  ANGELES  TUESDAY 
MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.   T.   W.  Barton,  Press  Chairman 

The  Tuesday  Morning  Club  has  had  a  very  suc- 
cessful year,  under  the  able  leadership  of  its  president, 
Mrs.  R.  C.  Hunter,  who  has  been  re-elected  for  a 
second  term. 

Mrs.  Hunter  attended  all  the  sessions  at  the  Glen- 
dale  Convention,  and  gave  a  full  report  to  the  club. 
The  members  suffered  a  great  loss  by  the  death  of 
our  beloved  treasurer  and  friend,  Mrs.  Jacques 
Bussert,  who  passed  away  suddenly  last  March. 

Our  secretary.  Miss  Martin,  is  a  great  favorite 
with  the  children  in  their  ward  at  the  General  Hos-

GLEASON 


PARLIAMENTARY 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  F.  T.  Bkknell,  Press  Chairman 
Gleason  Parliamentary  Club,  the  club  with  a  large 
vision,  looking  forward  to  the  advancement  of  women 
through  the  power  of  a  comprehensive  knowledge  of 
parliamentary  law,  has  the  distinction  of  being  the 
first   federated    club    to    specialize    in    this   study. 

It  is  the  pioneer  workshop  which  has  opened  up  the 
highway  of  this  important  line  of  work  for  the  better 
development  of  skilled  citizenship  among  women.  It 
makes  for  their  greater  power  and  broader  influence. 
Moulded  in  Mrs.  I.  W.  Gleason's  parliamentary  study 
classes  and  graduated  into  the  workshop  with  the 
Digest  of  full  equipment  for  active  service,  the  mem- 
bers enrolled  are  from  all  walks  of  club  life,  and 
their  work  is  phenomenal,  as  sixteen  members  are 
already  active  instructors  in  parliamentary  sections 
of  other  clubs. 

A  successful  year  adds  fresh  enthusiasm  to  press 
forward  to  the  new  fields  beckoning  them.  The 
Gleason  Parliamentary  Digest,  their  text  book,  is  in 
perfect  accord  with  Robert's  Rules  of   Order. 


ELYSIAN   HEIGHTS   CIVIC 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.   Grace  Kerivirt 

Under  the  regime  of  Mrs.  Gordon  R.  Young,  the 
retiring  president,  Elysian  Heights  Civic  Club,  during 
the  present  year,  has  started  a  junior  auxiliary,  a  new 
philanthropic  section  fund  and  at  present  is  putting 
all  its  energy  into  bringing  about  the  purchase  of  a 
suitable  lot  for   a  club   house. 

Able  committees  have  assisted  Mrs.  Young  and  five 
hundred  dollars  was  earned  during  the  past  year  to 
add  to  the  building  fund  by  means  of  dances  and  a 
hope  chest.

At  the  special  meeting  held  recently  it  was  hoped 
that  the  final  decision  in  regard  to  the  lot  would  be 
made  but  with  the  uncertainty  as  to  the  cost  of  im- 
provements hanging  fire  it  was  deemed  wiser  to  wait 
until  Mrs.  Young  had  interviewed  the  city  engineers 
and  could  find  out  approximately  what  this  cost  will 
be  and  if  such  information  proves  satisfactory  then 
Elysian  Heights  Civic  Club — judging  from  present  in- 
dications— will  immediately  become  a  property  owner. 


POMONA  EBELL 

By  Grace  M.  Hufford,  Press  Chairman 
Work  on  the  club  house  of  Pomona  Ebell  is  pro- 
gressing rapidly  and  the  new  auditorium  will  doubt- 
less be  ready  for  the  opening  of  the  new  club  year. 
Of  course  the  work  of  raising  funds  for  the  building 
and  furnishing  is  also  going  ahead.  The  Ways  and 
Meanus  Committee  of  the  club  arranged  a  bridge 
luncheon  for  Thursday,  May  29,  at  the  Los  Serranos 
Country  Club.  The  affair  was  a  great  success  socially 
as  well  as  financially. 

The  Philharmonic  Committee  feel  very  gratified 
over  the  success  of  their  season's  work.  The  course 
was  a  splendid  one  and  all  numbers  were  very  well 
attended.  Galli-Curci  gave  the  closing  concert  before 
an  audience  of  over  two  thousand.  The  support  given 
the  committee  this  year  has  insured  a  course  for  next 
season,  and  already  the  committee  has  announced  an 
artists'  course  of  six  numbers. 

The  club  year  closed  Friday,  June   13. 


SATURDAY  AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  DOWNEY 

By  Judith  McKellar,  Press  Chairman 
The    club    has    just    concluded    a    very    successful 
year,    with    Mrs.   Lillian   B.    Robinson     as     president. 
Both  financially  and  numerically  successful,  for  many

names  have  been  added  to  our  roster,  and  finances  in- 
creased satisfactorily.  Splendid  programs  have  been 
provided  for  by  the  program  committee  and  depart- 
ment chairman.  One  of  unusual  interest  vfas  ar- 
ranged for  by  the  social  vpelfare  department,  Mrs. 
Frank  Otto,  chairman,  when  they  secured  for  the 
speaker  of  the  afternoon  of  May  7  Dr.  E.  P.  Ryland 
of  Hollyvfood,  president  of  Southern  California  Con- 
ference of  Social  Workers.  Every  department  of  the 
club  is  functioning  very  satisfactorily  with  the  motto 
of  the  club  as  their  giuding  star,  "The  Noblest  Motive 
is  the  Public  Good." 

On  Wednesday  afternoon.  May  21,  the  Ways  and 
Means  committee  with  Mrs.  W.  H.  Morrow  chairman, 
gave  an  afternoon  party  for  the  benefit  of  the  build- 
ing fund.  The  committee  planned  and  executed  many 
interesting  events,  one  of  which  "was  a  lawn  fete 
given  at  the  close  of  the  club  year.  Through  such 
activities   our  building  fund   is   rapidly   increasing. 

A  unique  and  unusual  step  in  the  club's  history  was 
taken  when  we  closed  the  club  year  on  June  7.  The 
final  chapter  of  the  Saturday  Afternoon  Club  was 
then  written,  and  we  will  convene  in  September  as 
the  Downey  Woman's  Club. 

When  the  club  was  organized  in  December,  1898, 
the  membership  was  limited,  and  meetings  were  held 
at  the  home  of  the  members.  Later  the  restrictions 
wre  removed,  the  club  grew,  and  the  work  expanded, 
a  lot  was  purchased,  a  club  house  built,  and  a  de- 
cision was  made  that  we  meet  on  Wednesday  and  yet 
we  were  incorporated  as  Saturday  Afternoon  Club. 

Now  we  are  taking  legal  steps  for  this  change,  and 
on  the  date  of  our  opening  we  go  into  our  remodeled 
and   enlarged  club   house   as   Downey  Woman's   Club. 

WA-WAN  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  JV.  H.  Boyd,  Press  Chairman 
The  Wa-Wan  Club  closed  a  successful  year  with 
three  notable  programs.  On  May  14  Sol  Cohen,  noted 
violinist  and  member  of  the  club  gave  a  farewell  pro- 
gram prior  to  his  departure  for  a  two  years'  study 
in  Europe.  He  vyas  assisted  on  that  afternoon  by 
Margaret  Messer  Morris,  soprano,  Margaret  Fisher 
Monson,  contralto,  and  Esther  Rhodes,  harpiste.  On 
Wednesday  morning.  May  28,  the  election  of  officers 
and  annual  business  meeting  was  held.  In  the  after- 
noon the  Juvenile  Auxiliary  with  Mrs.  Ella  Duffield, 
chairman,  presented  the  program.  This  Auxiliary 
was  organized  in  May,  1922,  and  is  federated  with 
both  State  and  National  Federation  of  Music  Clubs. 
The  closing  program  of  the  year  was  held  in  the 
theater  of  the  Ambassador  Hotel  on  June   17.     Great 


plans  are  in  store  for  the  coming  season  and  the  club 
will  move  their  home  from  the  Gamut  Club  to  the 
Ambassador  Hotel. 

PRINCIPALS'  CLUB 

By  Charles  J.  Fox,  President 
The  membership  of  the  Principals'  Club  of  the  Los 
Angeles  Elementary  Schools  comprises  the  large  ma- 
jority of  principals  and  supervisors.  The  club  fosters 
the  study  of  educational  problems,  especially  adminis- 
trative, and  assists  in  establishing  numerous  university 
classes  for  teachers  among  the  schools.  Meetings  are 
held  monthly  and  reports  received  from  various  stand- 
ing committees  for  the  betterment  of  our  schools. 
Speakers  are  engaged.  A  special  Institute  dinner 
session  is  planned  each  winter  with  some  leading 
speaker.  The  club  acts  both  independently  from,  and 
in  conjunction  with  the  City  Board  of  Education  in 
various  ways  of  benefit  to  our  schools,  such  as  listing 
and  reviewing  educational  works,  surveying  school 
plants  and  equipment,  encouraging  social  acquaint- 
ance and  fraternity  amongst  our  educators,  linking 
school  life  with  the  affairs  of  our  city  and  nation, 
sponsoring  well-advised  legislation,  etc.  The  club 
takes  an  active  part  in  the  N.  E.  A.,  maintaining  dele- 
gates there.  Affiliation  with  women's  clubs  is  cared 
for  through  a  standing  committee.  Acquainting  the 
general  public  with  the  aims,  the  methods  and  the 
value  of  the  modern  school  is  one  of  the  club's  ac- 
complishments. 

CULVER  CITY  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.   IV.  E.  Richard,  Press  Chairman 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Culver  City  Woman's 
Club  held  on  the  second  Monday  of  May  proved  to 
be  one  of  the  livest  and  best  attended  of  the  club  year. 

There  was  enthusiastic  discussion  of  the  desire  of 
the  club  members  to  assist  in  the  upbuilding  of  the 
community  through  intensive  support  of  local  mer- 
chants. A  "Buy  at  Home"  campaign  of  six  months' 
duration,  to  begin  June  1,  was  launched  with  a  com 
mittee  in  charge  to  arrange  details. 

Another  movement  that  will  be  sponsored  by  the 
club  is  the  inauguration  of  a  free  Children's  Clinic. 
Plans  for  this  humanitarian  movement  will  be  worked 
out  by  a  committee  to  be  headed  by  Mrs.  Matt  Corwin, 
who   is   child   welfare   representative   of   the  club. 

The  club  has  been  promiseed  the  valued  assistance 
of  Dr.  Foster  Hull,  city  health  officer,  in  this  good 
work.  The  meeting  was  closed  by  a  delightful  pro- 
gram, arranged  by  the  Music  Department,  of  which 
Mrs.  E.  E.  McLaughlin  is  chairman.

The  CLUBPFOMAN 


RIVERSIDE    WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Mrs.  R.  L.  Ayres,  Corresponding  Secretary 
The  Riverside  Woman's  Club  joined  heartily  in 
welcoming  to  Southern  California  the  clubwomen  from 
all  parts  of  the  world  who  attended  the  General  Fed- 
eration of  Women's  Clubs  in  Los  Angeles,  for  it  is  in 
them  and  their  expanding  influence  in  shaping  na- 
tional thought  and  action  lies  the  chief  hope  of  a 
future  which  shall  have  arching  over  it  the  rainbow 
of  peace  and  promise  of  the  undisturbed  vine  and  fig 
tree  of  the  masses  of  the  people. 

Riverside,  the  City  Beautiful,  is  but  a  short  distance 
from  Los  Angeles  and  situated  in  the  center  of  the 
orange  belt,  is  noted  for  its  pretty  streets,  beautiful 
homes,  and  its  fine  municipal  and  club  buildings,  of 
which  the  Woman's  Club  house  is  one  of  the  most 
attractive  and  commodious.  The  club  numbers  among 
its  members  some  of  the  most  noted  of  women. 
Among  these  is  one  of  whom  they  are  justly  proud, 
Mrs.  H.  A.  Atwood,  who  is  so  interested  in  and  has 
accomplished  so  much  in  the  Indian  welfare  work. 
She  is  of  a  very  modest,  unassuming  manner,  yet  with 
a  face  alight  with  enthusiasm  which  radiates  to  all 
about  her  when  mention  is  made  of  the  Indian.  Club 
members  enjoyed  a  most  interesting  talk  on  her  re- 
cent trip  to  Buffalo  where  she  was  in  attendance  at 
the  convention  of  the  League  of  Women  Voters.  In 
a  recent  interview  with  Mrs.  Atwood  she  was  greatly 
rejoiced  at  news  of  recent  measures  which  have  been 
successful.  One  was  that  the  Palm  Springs  allotment 
which  was  understood  to  be  closed  has  apparently 
been  reopened,  according  to  word  from  Washington. 
A  group  of  Congregational  ministers  were  appointed 
by  the  Conference  to  investigate.  Secretary  of  In- 
terior Work  wired  them  he  would  make  no  decision 
until  he  heard  from  them.  They  met  May  20  at  Palm 
Springs  and   wired   Secretary  Work   urgently  request- 


ing that  he   make   no   decision   until   he   himself   could 
personally  corae  out  and   investigate. 

VACATION  HOME  LEAGUE 

By  Gola  Irene  Beagle,  Press  Chairman 
Vacation  Home  League,  1503  Grand  Canal,  Venice, 
on  May  7  elected  officers  for  the  year  as  follows: 
President,  Mrs.  Henry  J.  Engelbrecht;  first  vice-presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Charles  L.  Beagle ;  second  vice-president, 
Mrs.  Byron  Palmer;  treasurer,  Mrs.  John  G. 
Awenius ;  secretary,  Mrs.  A.  C.  Barke;  corresponding 
secretary,  Mrs.  H.  B.  Washburn.  Board  of  Directors, 
Mrs.  Clarence  W.  Rogers,  Mrs.  E.  P.  Ellis,  Mrs.  S.  R. 
Ward,  Mrs.  Herman  Michel  and  Mrs.  Frank  Langley. 
The  Outside  Relief  section  and  card  parties  under 
the  chairmanship  of  Mrs.  C.  L.  Beagle,  raised  $959.90 
this  last  year  and  out  of  this  money  the  new  sun- 
room  was  built.  The  carpenters  union  and  the 
painters  union  of  Santa  Monica  did  much  toward 
making  this  a  possibility,  donating  most  generously 
of  their  -time  and  good  will.  All  of  the  hardware 
was  donated,  paints,  wiring,  and  lumber  furnished 
at  greatly  reduced  prices. 

This  addition  will  be  much  enjoyed  by  the  guests 
and  the  home  will  be  a  busy  place  during  the  sum- 
mer, though  it  is  open  to  guests  the  whole  year.  When 
in  Venice,  corae  and  meet  Miss  Martha  HoUiday,  our 
"house  mother"  and  let  her  tell  you  of  the  wonderful 
work  being  done.  You  will  be  interested.  No  spe- 
cial visiting  days — you   are  welcome   any  day.

PACOIMA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  EU'ii  E.  Cuidinger,  Press  Chairman 
The  chief  social  event  of  the  year  of  the  Pacoima 
Woman's  Club  was  the  annual  May  musicale  given 
on  May  7  at  the  lovely  mountain  home  of  Dr.  and 
Mrs.  Homer  A.  Hanson,  "Mount  of  Olives."  This 
beautiful  house  itself  is  of  intriguing  interest,  fash- 
ioned as  it  is  of  the  natural  woods  and  rock  taken 
from  the  Hanson  holdings  in  the  Big  Tejunga  Can- 
yon, and  the  program  was  of  unusual  quality  and 
exquisitely    rendered.      The    artists    of    the    afternoon 


were  Mrs.  Ada  Richards  McKinnie  of  Taft,  Miss 
Pearl  Brittain,  and  Mrs.  Burney  M.  Starksen,  chair- 
man of  the  music  committee,  who  arranged  the  pro- 
gram. The  club's  president,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Hersey,  was 
in  the  chair  for  the  first  time  in  several  months,  after 
a  severe  illness,  and  she  was  given  a  rising  vote  of 
greeting   by   her  club  family. 

The  Pacoima  Woman's  Club  was  one  of  the 
hostesses  at  the  Playday  luncheon  given  for  300  bien- 
nial delegates  in  the  Old  Mission  memory  garden, 
June  7,  with  Mrs.  J.  C.  Hersej'.  Mrs.  Frank  Wheeler, 
Mrs.  W.  R.  Welch,  Mrs.  Ralph  Hersey,  Mrs.  C.  C. 
Foulk.  and  Miss  Pearl  Brittain  acting  as  hostesses  for 
the   club. 

Officers  elected  for  the  coming  year  are:  Mrs.  Bur- 
ney M.  Starksen,  president;  Mrs.  F.  H.  Cassel  and 
Mrs.  Idella  Brittain,  vice-presidents;  Mrs.  E.  G. 
Patterson,  corresponding  secretary;  Miss  Pearl  Brit- 
tain, recording  secretary;  Mrs.  Mack  Erwin,  treas- 
u'rer,  and  Mrs.  C.  C.  Foulk,  auditor. 

LA  JOLLA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Helen  W.  Mason.  Publicity  Chairman 
The  La  Jolla  Woman's  Club,  founded  in  1894  as 
a  "Current  Events  Club,"  has  a  history  of  steady 
growth  and  development.  It  joined  the  County  Fed- 
eration in  1897.  In  1900  the  name  was  changed  to 
the  "La  Jolla  Woman's  Club",  and  in  1901  it  joined 
the  Southern  District;  in  1902  it  joined  the  State 
and  National  Federations,  being  the  first  club  in 
Califorina  to  join  the  National  Federation. 

The  La  Jolla  Woman's  Club  has  in  every  way  en- 
deavored to  work  for  the  civic  betterment  of  the  vil- 
lage, and  during  the  year  just  past  has  given  a  re- 
markably interesting  program  on  international  sub- 
jects, with  lectures  by  various  authorities  on  China, 
Japan,  Russia,  India  and  Turkey,  together  with  after-

FRIDAY  AFTERNOON    STUDY 
CLUB  OF  BIG  PINE 

By  Mrs  Jessie  R.  Cuddeback,  Press  Chairman 

The  subject  of  a  recent  program  was,  "Rhythm  in 
Art  and   Nature." 

To  the  members  of  this  club,  that  subject  conveys 
boundless  interest  and  feeling.  Situated,  as  we  are, 
geographically,  isolated  from  the  more  sophisticated 
centers  of  activeity,  but  environed  by  some  of  na- 
tures finest  manifestations  of  wild  beauty,  one  would 
be  dull  of  intellect  and  callous  of  feeling,  not  to  be 
able  to  appreciate  the  lessons  to  be  learned  from 
observing  the  analogous  colorings  of  the  strata  of  our 
highly  mineralized  mountains.  One  notes  the  almost 
unearthly  clearness  of  the  atmosphere  which  enables 
you  to  see  details  at  a  great  distance,  the  repose,  the 
calm  stillness,  due  to  the  absence  of  human  traffic — 
the  mountain  lakes,  the  music  of  running  water,  com- 
ing from  its  mother,  the  Palisade  glacier — water  in 
fact  running  riot  in  its  native  creek  beds — ages  old. 
Is  not  all  this  akin  to  art?  Is  it  not  an  appreciation 
of  an  art  which  seeks  to  unfold  a  glimpse  of  nature's 
beauty  in,  let  us  say,  landscape  painting,  or  an  art 
which   seeks  to   ennoble   and   enrich   the   landscape   by

expressing  itself  in  some  chaste  form  of  architecture? 

Such  a  form  we  do  possess,  here,  in  our  California 
State  Fish  Hatchery.  Nestling  in  the  lap  of  the  Sierra 
Nevada  mountains  lies  this  building,  fashioned  from 
the  native  stones,  uncut  but  perfectly  joined,  it  ap- 
pears to  be  a  part  of  its  environment.  It  possesses 
r:iovement,  rhythm,  in  that  its  forms  are  repeated  in 
its  window  groupings, — and  the  stone  groupings  ap- 
pearing in  the  building  reappear  as  you  go  farther 
into  the  canyons  from  which  the  stones  were  taken. 

The  building  affects  most  visitors  by  its  harmony 
with  its  surroundings,  and  by  the  nature  of  its  sub- 
stance, being  indigenous,  as  it  were,  it  must  be  judged 
as  good  art.     One  could  go  on  but  space  forbids. 


PATHFINDER  CLUB  OF 
COMPTON 

By  Mrs.  H.  E.  Reed,  Press  Chairman 

The  Pathfinder  Club  is  the  older  of  the  two  wom- 
en's clubs  of  Compton.  It  has  a  membership  of  ap- 
proximately one  hundred  and  has  owned  its  own  club 
house — a  roomy  and  attractive  brown  bungalow,  with 
home-like  interior — since  1913.  The  club  house  is 
fully  paid  for  and  now  stands  on  a  valuable  corner 
in  Compton. 

The  Pathfinder  Club  has  ten  departments  and  a 
newly  organized  Junior  Section,  which  has  more  than 
fulfilled  its  promise  this  year.  The  club  has  been 
a  member  of  the  Federation  since  1915  and  has  for 
its   slogan,   "A  Larger   Vision." 

With  the  recent  phenomenal  growth  of  Compton, 
the  club  has  taken  a  special  interest  in  civics  and 
philanthropy,  its  aim  being  to  hold  Compton  up  to 
its  best.  The  club  is  not  pre-eminently  a  social  or- 
ganization, but  rather  aspires  to  the   educational.

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  SANTA 

ANA 

By  Mrs.  Margaret  D.  If  ells.  Press  Chairman 
The  magical  number  seven  figured  conspicuously 
in  the  organization  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Santa 
Ana.  Luck  in  odd  numbers,  thought  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
H.  Mills,  when  on  February  7,  1900,  she  organized  the 
club  with  just  seven  members.  Its  object:  Mutual 
sj'mpathy  and  counsel,  and  united  effort  toward  the 
higher  interests  of  humanity.  She  builded  better  than 
she  knew,  for  now  a  prosperous  club  of  sixty  mem- 
bers, three  honorary  life  members  and  four  charter 
members  pa}'  homage  to  their  club  mother.  February 
7,  1924,  the  Santa  Ana  Woman's  Club  entertained  at 
St.  Ann's  Inn  in  celebration  of  the  twenty-fourth  birth- 
day as  a  club,  by  joining  in  a  feast,  not  only  of  deli- 
cacies to  delight  the  epicurean  palate  but  also  "food 
of  the  gods"  planned  to  nourish  the  mind.  The  pro- 
gram was  placed  iii  the  hands  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Mills,  "club  mother,"  who  was  a  gracious  and  clever 
toastraistress,  declaring  that  her  "girls"  were  like  the 
boys  of  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes:  "Twenty  tonight." 

The  club  meets  the  first,  third  and  fifth  Tuesdays 
of  the  month  at  2:30  p.  m.,  from  October  to  July.  The 
club  colors  are  violet  and  white;  the  emblem  a  white 
rose.  It  was  organized  February  7,  1900;  federated 
with  S.  F.  W.  C.  1901;  federated  with  C.  F.  W.  C. 
1912;  federated  with  G.  F.  W.  C.  1923. 

AZUSA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Ruby  La  Verte  Thomson,  Press  Chairman 
The  Azusa  Woman's  Club  feels  justly  proud  of  the 
club  year,  which  has  indeed  been  a  year  of  gratifying 
results.  Under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  W.  C.  Constant, 
the  programs,  selected  for  their  educational  and  in- 
spirational values  as  well  as  for  entertainment,  have 
been  presented  by  Arthur  Ketchell,  Sarah  Ellen 
Barnes,  Baroness  Ottily  de  Ropp,  Carrie  Jacobs  Bond 
and  James  W.   Foley.

An  earnest  effort  has  been  made  by  the  club  to  in- 
terest every  woman  in  the  work  of  the  San  Gabriel 
Valley  League  of  Women  Voters,  of  which  Mrs.  J.  T. 
Lindley,  one  of  our  most  active  club  members,  is  presi- 
dent. Our  success  was  certainly  proved  at  the  May 
primaries.  A  full  100  per  cent  vote  of  club  members 
was  secured,  while  only  four  women  (all  absent)  in 
the  entire  community  failed   to   cast  their   ballots. 

The  club  morale  is  of  the  best,  the  members  wide- 
awake and  eager  to  be  of  service,  and  all  feel  that  the 
club  has  aligned  itself  as  never  before  with  the  pro- 
gressive attitude  of  the  community. 

EVENING       AUXILIARY       TO 
REDLANDS  CONTEMP- 
ORARY CLUB 

By  Irene  H.  McKenzie,  Corresponding  Secretary 
The  Evening  Auxiliary  to  the  Contemporary  Club 
was  formed  three  years  ago  to  give  club  privileges 
to  business  and  professional  women,  who  could  not 
avail  themselves  of  the  afternoon  club.  The  oppor- 
tunity for  such  an  organization  had  long  been  appar- 
ent and  with  the  hearty  approval  and  support  of  Mrs. 
Mary  M.  Ferry  Allen,  then  president  of  the  Contem- 
porary Club  and  Miss  Lena  F.  Dague,  one  of  our 
prominent  business  women,  a  petition  for  the  forma- 
tion of  the  Evening  Auxiliary  to  the  Contemporary 
Club  was  presented  to  the  board  of  directors,  with  the 
signatures  of  forty-eight  applicants  for  membership. 
The  enthusiasm  and  interest  manifested  was  such, 
that  the  Contemporary  Club  gladly  granted  the  peti- 
tion. 

Very  soon  after  organization  the  membership  in- 
creased to  one  hundred  and  has  remained  about  that 
number  ever  since.  We  have  among  our  members  a 
large  per  cent  of  teachers,  many  stenographers,  clerks 

GLEASON'S    Parliamentary    Digest 

The  Digest  was  written  by  Mrs.  I.  W.  Gleason, 
who  has  taught  Parliamentary  Law  for  eighteen  years 
in  different  organizations,  and  for  the  past  six  years 
she  has  taught  private  Parliamentary  Law  classes  at 
which  both  men  and  women  are  admitted.  From 
these  classes  many  pupils  have  graduated  and  have 
received  parliamentary  diplomas.  Mrs.  Gleason  is 
National  Superintendent  of  Parliamentary  Law  of 
the  W.  C.  T.  U.  and  Parliamentarian  of  Southern 
California.  She  is  at  present  parliamentarian  of 
seven  different  organizations.  The  Digest  is  based 
upon  Robert's  Rules  of  Order  Revised.  Prices,  Re-

and    women    from   various    business    and    professional 
lines. 

In  order  to  be  of  service  to  our  varied  membership 
we  have  made  our  programs  as  diversified  as  pos- 
sible. In  doing  this  we  have  used  the  outline  of  Mrs. 
Robert  J.  Burdette  for  preparation  and  standardiza- 
tion of  club  programs.  Professor  Anthoryof  Blanks 
of  U.  S.  C,  Dr.  Loye  E.  Miller  of  S.  B.  U.  C,  Dr. 
Wm.  Fox  of  Pasadena  and  Frederick  Warde  have 
given  us  some  of  our  most  enjoyable  evenings.  Aside 
from  these  we  have  had  programs  of  music  and  cur- 
rent events.  Our  evening  meetings  are  preceded  by 
a  business  meeting  and  followed  by  a  social  hour 
where  opportunity  is  given  to  meet  the  speaker  of  the 
evening  and  where  members  become  better  acquainted 
with  each  other.  Once  a  quarter  the  club  enjoys  a 
purely  social  evening  with  a  dinner  and  an  entertain- 
ing program.  These  have  afforded  the  members 
great  pleasure  beside  providing  greater  opportunity 
for  enjoyable  fellowship. 

The  Evening  Auxiliary  is  closely  allied  to  the  Con- 
temporary Club  and  is  permitted  many  club  benefits. 
A  Contemporary  Club  member  acts  as  our  advisor  and 
is  present  at  every  meeting.  The  use  of  the  beautiful 
club  house  is  given  for  our  monthly  meetings. 

For  the  coming  year  the  Auxiliary  has  been  granted 
two  splendid  privileges,  our  president  being  given  a 
place  on  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Contemporary 
Club,  and  Auxiliary  memberships  entitling  one  to 
enter  the  afternoon  club.  The  Auxiliary  admits  mem- 
bers of  the  Contemporary  Club  to  all  of  its  evening 
lectures  and  programs.  This  will  greatly  strengthen 
the   bond   between  the   two   organizations. 

On  the  whole  the  project  has  worked  well  for  both 
the  afternoon  club  and  the  auxiliary.  It  has  been 
managed  with  such  a  fine  spirit  of  co-operation  and 
understanding  on  the  part  of  the  Contemporary  Club, 
that  we  can  say  heartily: 

"Daughters  are  we  in  our  mothers'  house. 
But  mistress  in  our  own." 


TUESDAY  AFTERNOON   CLUB 

By  Mary  A.  Snyder,  Corresponding  Secretary 
The  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  met  with  Edith 
Schauble  on  Tuesday,  April  29.  After  the  hostess 
served  a  most  delicious  luncheon,  the  meeting  was 
called  to  order  by  the  president,  Grace  Willard.  All 
members  present  responded  with  a  quotation.  Cur- 
rent events,  such  as  immigration  and  conservation  of 
the  redwood  trees  were  discussed  and  $5  was  voted 
to  the  Memorial  Grove  Fund  to  help  save  the  trees. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensu- 
ing year:  President,  Grace  Willard;  first  vice-presi- 
dent, Minnie  Powell ;  second  vice-president,  Dora 
Morris;  secretary,  Alice  Turtle;  corresponding  secre-

LA  CAMARADA  CLUB 

By   Carrie  E.  Franklin,  Press  Chairman 
La  Camarada  Club  holds  its  meetings  the  first  and 
third    Wednesday    of    each    month    from     October    to 
June.     Owing   to   the   biennial,   the    last   meeting   was 
on   May  24   at   its   annual   picnic. 

During  the  year  besides  the  many  excellent  papers 
prepared  by  members  on  a  variety  of  subjects: 
"Child  Labor  Legislation" ;  "Minimum  Wage  for 
Women";  "American  Citizenship";  "International 
Covenants",  etc.,  speakers  of  interest  brought  us  new 
food  for  thought.  Among  these  were  Asa  Keyes,  Pro- 
fessor R.  G.  Van  Cleve,  Dr.  Willsie  Martin,  Mr.  H. 
D.  Hicker,  Mrs.  James  W.  Barlow,  John  Steven  Mc- 
Groarty,  Mrs.  E.  B.  Weirick.  Through  Mrs.  J.  E. 
Gribble,  chairman  of  social  service,  the  club  has  scat- 
tered much  sunshine  and  help  to  organizations  and 
individuals. 


WOMAN'S  ATHLETIC  CLUB  OF 
LONE  PINE 

By  Mrs.  H.  G.  Burkhardt,  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Athletic  Club  of  Lone  Pine  met  at 
the  home  of  Mrs.  Geo.  W.  Wasson,  Wednesday,  May 
7,   in  regular  session. 

Mrs.  E.  H.  Edwards  having  visited  the  Federation 
of  Woman's  Clubs  district  convention  in  Glendale, 
gave  a  very  interesting  report  of  the  convention,  which 
was  enjoyed  by  all. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  new 
term:  Mrs.  E.  H.  Edwards,  president;  Mrs.  J.  B. 
Conterno,  vice-president;  Mrs.  George  W.  Wasson, 
second  vice-president;  Mrs.  G.  W.  Dow,  business

SAN    DIEGO    DAUGHTERS   OF 
LIBERTY 

The  organization  called  the  Daughters  of  Liberty 
was  founded  in  San  Diego,  Feb.  22,  1917,  to  promote 
the  welfare  of  the  service  men  and  their  families. 
Those  eligible  to  membership  are  the  immediate  fam- 
ily of  a  man  in  service  to  the  colors  of  any  country 
allied  to  the  cause  of  the  United  States  of  America 
during  the   Great  War. 

In  1919,  representatives  from  various  patriotic  or- 
ganizations, founded  during  the  war,  met  in  Balti- 
more, at  which  convention  the  Daughters  of  Liberty 
were  represented,  and  formed  the  "Service  Star 
Legion  of  America,"  of  which  this  organization  is 
still  a  member. 

Since  the  Armistice  the  work  has  been  among  the 
ex-service  men  and  women  and  their  families,  in 
which  work  the  organization  has  been  extremely  ac- 
tive. Money  for  the  work  is  raised  by  benefit  card 
parties  and  operas,  all  of  which  have  been  very  suc- 
cessful. It  is  our  work  also  to  promote  all  work  of 
a  civic  or  welfare  nature  in  city,  state  and  nation  and 
all  work  connected  with  the  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs. 


THE 


COMMUNITY    CLUB    OF 
SANTA  MARIA 

By  Mrs.  George  C.  Smith,  Corresponding  Secretary 

The  Community  Club  of  Santa  Maria  has  been  or- 
ganized two  years,  and  from  its  record  of  civic,  legis- 
lative and  child  welfare  activities,  evidences  a  wide- 
awake,   experienced    membership. 

Though  small,  the  club  manages  to  put  through  a 
program  of  community  interest  second  to  none  in  this 
part  of  the   State. 

It  has  its  own  way  of  raising  money,  and  is  always 
ready  to  assist  any  worth-while  endeavor.  It  co- 
operates with  the  schools,  offering  prizes  in  various 
contests  in  such  matters  as  should  interest  the  school 
citizen.  Recently  a  fine  dictionary  was  awarded  the 
best  speller  in  over  400  high  school  students.  Every 
year  prizes  are  given  for  the  best  essays  furthering 
the  clean-up  campaign.  Prizes  are  also  given  for  the 
best  posters  made  by  the  Art  Departments  and  ad- 
vertising  such   affairs    as   the   club   is   sponsoring. 

Christmas  trees,  candies,  nuts  and  fruits  have  been 
furnished  all  the  elementary  schools,  and^  a  yearly 
Easter  egg  hunt  is  arranged,  chiefly  for  its  Ameri- 
canization  aspects. 

The  club  seeks  membership  from  earnest,  thought- 
ful women,  who  in  serving  others,  find  a  real  pleas- 
ure and  a  joy  in  living.

THE    COMMUNITY  WOMAN'S 
CLUB  OF  MICHILLINDA 

By  Mrs.  C.  R.    T<witc/iell,  Press   Chairman 
It  was   with  a  feeling  of  sadness  that  we   saw  our 
i.Iub   year   close.      But   what    a   grand    final    after    all, 
the  biennial! 

Chief  among  our  later  activities  has  been  the  work 
of  our  philanthropic  committee  with  Mrs.  W.  J.  Voll- 
brecht  chairman.  These  capable  ladies  gave  two  card 
parties  which  yielded  enough  money  to  pay  our  50c 
per  capita  tax  for  the  biennial  and  purchase  a 
beautiful   flag  for   our   club   room  besides. 

Our  dear  president,  Mrs.  C.  S.  Rodgers,  who 
worked  long  and  faithfully  for  the  organization  of  our 
club,  has  through  severe  illness  been  compelled  to 
sit  back,  but  her  loyal  support  and  keen  interest  have 
ever  been  manifest.  Her  successor,  Mrs.  Riley  Don 
Kaufman,  with  her  staff,  were  installed   in  June.

The  Murrietta  Woman's  Club  is  a  small  organiza- 
tion of  about  thirty  members  which  meet  the  first  and 
third  Wednesday  afternoons  in  the  Community  Hall. 
This  being  the  only  public  meeting  place,  the  Wom- 
an's Club  is  doing  its  bit  by  helping  to  improve  it. 
The  members  have  furnished  the  rest  room  in  which 
our  public  library  is  kept. 

Our  club  has  extended  its  membership  to  the  women 
in  the  towns  of  Wildomar  and  Temecula,  thus  mak- 
ing one  club  out  of  three  small  towns,  which  are  not 
large  enough  to  support  clubs  of  their  own. 

This  way  we  feel  that  we  can  secure  better  speak- 
ers and  create  a  greater  interest  in  club  work  gen- 
erally. 

We  carry  on  all  the  different  phases  of  club  work 
advocated  by  the  Federation  that  can  be  best  adapted 


to  pur  club. 

We  feel  that  our  Sunshine  Department,  under  the 
wide-awake  leadership  of  Mrs.  Chlora  Stoner,  de- 
serves much  credit  for  her  many  inspirations  that 
have  brought  happiness  and  sunshine  to  the  sick  and 
needy  of  our  community. 

This  year  we  have  been  co-operating  with  the 
school  along  different  lines,  one  of  which — the  Educa- 
tion and  Child  Welfare  Committee — with  our  teach- 
ers, worked  out  a  plan  by  which  one  hot  dish  of  nour- 
ishing food  could  be  served  daily  to  each  under- 
weight child. 

We  have  two  club  lots  on  which  we  hope  to  build 
a  club  house  some  time  in  the  future. 


ARCADIA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Myra  IVilkinson,  Press  Chairman 
Oflicers  of  clubs  in  nearby  towns  of  the  San  Ga- 
briel Valley  will  be  especial  guests  of  the  Arcadia 
Woman's  Club  at  their  tri-yearly  luncheons  during 
the  coming  year,  it  was  decided  upon  the  last  meet- 
ing of  the  new  executive  board,  the  plan  being  voted 
upon  favorably  in  the  interest  of  fostering  the  fra- 
ternal spirit  among  the  neighboring  group  of  organ- 
izations. 

New  members  of  the  local  club,  also,  will  be  hon- 
ored guests  on  these  occasions,  and  each  function  will 
be  in  the  nature  of  an  informal  reception.  Members 
joining  in  the  intervals  between  these  affairs  will  be 
received  into  the  club  at  each  succeeding  luncheon. 

Plans  are  being  formulated  by  the  entertainment 
committee  for  a  number  of  edifying  literary  and  mu- 
sical programs  for  the  coming  term,  excellent  talent 
from  both  local  and  outside  sources  having  been  se- 
cured for  the  meetings.  The  executive  committee  also 
IS  arranging  to  secure  the  services  of  federation 
officers  for  brief  talks  bearing  on  federation  activi- 
ties.

WOMAN'S  IMPROVEMENT 
CLUB  OF  RIVERA 

By  Mrs.  John  Russell,  Press  Chairman 

The  Woman's  Improvement  Club  of  Rivera  is  situ- 
ated in  the  heart  of  the  productive  Los  Nietos  Valley. 
We  are  surrounded  by  walnut  orchards  and  orange 
groves. 

One  meeting  every  year  is  set  apart  for  nature 
study.  The  date  this  year  was  April  9,  the  leader, 
Mrs.  William  Hanna,  having  prepared  a  splendid 
program  in  which  every  member  took  part.  She  her- 
self gave  an  excellent  talk. 

April  23  was  Reciprocity  Day  and  we  entertained 
the  Pio  Pico  Woman's  Club  at  luncheon.  Mrs.  Fred 
Gould  was  hostess.  She  converted  the  club  room  into 
a  real  floral  bower.  Mrs.  J.  S.  Trewhella  was  pres- 
ent and  gave  a  fine  talk.  Mrs.  Joseph  Barlow  gave  a 
paper  on  "Our  Deserts."  This  meeting  will  long  be 
remembered  as  a  red  letter  day  in  the  history  of 
our  club. 

We  give  free  rental  to  the  local  health  center  and 
send  a  donation  to  the  Maternity  Cottage  on  Utah 
street,  Los  Angeles,  each  year,  and  also  remember 
the  old  people  at  the  County  Farm  at  Christmas  time. 


CUCAMONGA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.  H.  fVilliams,  President 
The  Cucamonga  Woman's  Club,  organized  and 
federated  in  1908,  has  made  a  steady  growth.  Hav- 
ing a  membership  of  about  fifty,  the  meetings  are 
held  in  the  homes  of  the  members,  or  at  the  school 
house. 

Our  principal  course  of  study  this  year  has  been 
United  States  history,  from  the  colonization  period 
to  the  second  presidential  administration,  stressing 
the  Constitution.  Current  events,  a  poem  with  a 
short  sketch  of  the  author,  and  music,  are  features  of 
each  meeting.  A  social  hour  is  enjoyed  after  the 
program. 

Originally  a  study  club,  it  has  now  broadened  its 
scope,  taking  an  active  part  in  community  service. 
Our  principal  project  this  year  has  been  for  the  com- 
munity hospital,  located  at  Upland.  By  means  of 
food  sales  and  entertainments,  we  have  raised  three 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  the  cost  of  completely  fur- 
nishnig  one  room  in  the  hospital.  We  have  con- 
tributed substantially  for  the  past  four  years  to  the 
Boy  and  Girl  Scout  work  of  our  district. 


TUJUNGA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

Mrs.  L.  May  Dean,  Press  Chairman 
The  first  soil  was  turned  over  for  the  foundation  of 
the  new  club  house  on  May  2,  and  at  present  is  rap- 
idly nearing  completion.  Twenty  of  the  club  mem- 
bers attended  the  ceremony,  while  Mrs.  L.  May  Dean, 
a  charter  member  and  second  president  of  the  club, 
handled  the  shovel.-  She  was  assisted  by  the  for- 
mer president  and  incumbent,  who  dropped  roses  on 
the  first  soil  turned.  The  executive  board  and  build- 
ing committee  were  all  there  and  feel  proud  that  we 
shall  soon  be  able  to  have  our  own  home.  It  is  of 
stucco,  built  in  bungalow  style,  so  that  if  our  club 
should  outgrow  its  present  quarters  it  could  be  sold 
for  a  residence,  and  another  and  more  pretentious 
one  erected.  Much  credit  is  given  to  the  president, 
Mrs.  Anna  Jones,  for  her  untiring  energy  in  raising 
the  money  for  this  purpose. 


GOLDEN  STATE  DIVISION  104 

OF  THE  G.I.A.  TO  THE 

B.  OF  L.E. 

By  Helen  P.  Bush,  Press  Chairman 
At  our   first  meeting   in   May  this   society   voted   to 
give  five  dollars  to  the  Orthopaedic  Foundation,  five 


dollars  to  the  Business  Girls'  Club  and  ten  dollars  to 
one  of  our  own  members,  mother  of  four  little  chil- 
dren, whose  husband,  an  ex-service  man,  is  in  a  sani- 
tarium having  treatment  for  shell  shock. 

Our  national  convention,  which  is  held  every  three 
years,  opened  May  26  at  Cleveland.  Our  delegate, 
Mrs.  S.  M.  Collins  and  our  national  treasurer,  Mrs. 
J.  J.  Norton,  who  has  been  secretary  of  Division  104 
for  years,  attended. 

On  Memorial  Day  we  decorate  the  graves  of  all 
members  who  have  passed  on,  also  the  graves  of  de- 
ceased engineers  belonging  to  the  division  of  which 
we  are  an  auxiliary.  Every  year  all  railroad  orders 
and  their  auxiliaries  unite  in  holding  a  memorial  serv- 
ice, usually  in  some  church  ins  the  city,  for  departed 
members,  and  this  season  the  service  was  held 
June  15. 


BETTERAVIA  COMMUNITY 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.  T.  Avington,  Press  Chairman 

The  Betteravia  Community  Club  meets  twice  a 
month,  the  second  Thursday  combining  business  and 
social  meetings,  the  members,  taken  alphabetically, 
acting  as  hostesses  in  charge  of  the  program  and 
serving  refreshments.  On  the  fourth  Thursday  the 
class  in  Good  Citizenship  meets. 

The  club  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  only  one 
of  its  kind  in  the  district,  the  main  object  being  secur- 
ing the  service  of  a  minister,  who  comes  to  us  twice 
a  month  and  preaches  non-sectarian  sermons.  Also 
the  upkeep  of  the  Sabbath  School. 

An  annual  Easter  Egg  Hunt  is  given  the  children, 
also  an  annual  Halloween  Party,  and  at  Christmas 
time  a  large  community  tree,  where  every  child  re- 
ceives a  gift. 

We  have  twenty  members  and  try  to  do  our  bit  in 
helping  charitable  organizations  and  sending  flowers 
to  sick  in  our  own  little  community. 


ALPHA  CLUB  OF  LOMPOC 

By  Mrs.  Jennie  Dimock,  Secretary 
Alpha  Literary  and  Improvement  Club  of  Lompoc, 
Santa  Barbara  County,  meets  at  2:30  p.m.  on  the 
first  and  third  Wednesdays  of  each  month,  in  the 
public  library  building  on  South  H  street.  The  mem- 
bership is  about  sixty-five.  Part  of  each  meeting  is 
devoted  to  business.  Communications  from  County, 
District,  State  and  General  Federations  are  given 
due  attention  and  consideration.  The  club  is  ready 
at  all  times  to  assist  in  needed  improvements  in  town 
and  valley  and  to  use  its  influence  for  the  social  and 
moral  uplift  of  the  community. 

The  programs  are  varied  in  nature.  Excellent 
papers  and  addresses  have  been  given  during  the 
present  year  on  "Vocational  Training  for  Women," 
"The  Modern  Tendency  of  the  Drama,"  also  book 
reviews  and  reading  of  plays. 

An  Indian  program  was  well  planned  and  executed, 
the  music  being  especially  fine.  A  community  Christ- 
mas tree  was  arranged  by  club  members,  and  a  bazaar 
was  held  to  augment  the  club  house  fund. 

NEPTUNIAN   CLUB   OF   MAN- 
HATTAN BEACH 

By  Maude  C.  ffithers,  Press  Chairman 
The  Neptunian  Club  enjoyed  its  annual  luncheon 
at  Beverly  Hills  Hotel,  May  13,  at  which  time  inter- 
esting reports  were  heard  from  the  various  officers 
and  committee  chairmen.  Mrs.  Parlane  Reid,  with 
an  appropriate  little  speech,  presented  Mrs.  Emily 
Sinsabaugh,  president,  with   a  Federation  pin. 

On  May  8  the  club  ladies  entertained  the  Manhat- 
tan   Scout   Troop,   some   thirty-two   boys,   the   men   of 


JULY,  1924

the  Court  of  Honor,  our  local  Scout  executives  and  a 
committee  of  twenty  men  organized  to  make  the  drive 
for  $400,  Manhattan's  quota  in  their  recent  campaign 
for  funds.     This  was  a  "J'ggs"  dinner. 

The  goal  the  coming  club  year  will  be  the  realiza- 
tion of  our  club  home  and  no  stone  is  going  to  be 
left  unturned  to  help  us  attain  same.

FALLBROOK     WOMAN'S 

SATURDAY  AFTERNOON 

CLUB 

By  Mrs.  George  G.  Campbell,  Cor.  Secretary 

To  fill  a  definite  need  for  amusement  in  Fallbrook, 
the  Woman's  Saturday  Afternoon  Club  started  show- 
ing a  weekly  motion  picture  program  one  year  ago, 
and  the  venture  has  proved  such  a  success  that  the 
president,  Mrs.  Cora  McMillan,  has  signed  another 
year's  contract  for  films,  and  the  club  is  preparing 
to  buy  a  picture  machine  and  screen  of  its  own,  the 
ones  now  in  use  having  generously  been  loaned  to 
them  by  the  high   school. 

The  club  owns  an  entire  block,  and  an  attractive 
building,  with  a  large  auditorium,  well  arranged 
stage,  dressing  rooms,  and  a  kitchen  with  every  con- 
venience. The  whole  block  is  planted  with  over 
twenty-five  varieties  of  carefully  selected  tress  which, 
wit  ha  few  more  year's  growth,  will  make  the  club 
grounds  a  beautiful  park.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HOME  PRODUCTS  AND  LOCAL  INDUSTRY 

By  May  Kemp 


As  great  oaks  from  little  acorns  grow,  so  often- 
times from  the  small  humble  beginnings  of  an  insti- 
tution there  develops  in  a  short  span  of  years  a 
national  one. 

Two  factors  often  contribute  the  essentials  to  such 
a  success.  First  the  small  family  of  associates  who 
struggle  and  tndeavor  with  all  their  zeal  to  launch 
the  frail  craft  upon  the  sea  of  commerce  and  who 
continue  through  the  ensuing  years  to  constantly  per- 
fect the  product.  Second,  the  constant  endeavor  to 
make  the  product  the  best  way  and  constantly  to  im- 
prove  it. 

Such  has  been  the  case  with  the  Los  Angeles  Soap 
Company  which  started  operations  in  Los  Angeles 
sixty-three  years  ago.  Much  of  the  success  of  this 
concern  is  due  to  the  fact  that  everything  possible 
in  the  way  of  supplies  is  purchased  in  Los  Angtles, 
on  the  basis  that  loyalty  to  the  local  institutions  be- 
gets loyalty. 

Today  there  are  over  80,000  laborers  working  in 
4200  factories  turning  out  over  1200  different  articles 
in  Los  Angeles  alone,  which  at  the  present  time  is 
the   seventh   industrial   city   in   the   United    States. 

Los  Angeles  manufacturers  are  rapidly  becoming 
national  in  size,  and  do  not  ask  for  support  in  a 
selfish  way.  They  have — not  only  as  good — but  su- 
perior products  at  favorable  prices  and  oftentimes 
find  markets  away  from  home  more  remunerative. 
This  should  not  be.  Strangely  though,  the  great 
masses  whom  the  increased  consumption  would  bene- 
fit most,  are  the  last  to  insist  on  home  products.     The 


duty  of  promoting  their  welfare,  really  lies  in  the 
hands  of  the  readers  of  such  publications  as  this. 

Much  time  and  thought  has  been  spent  by  the 
clubwomen  to  secure  the  active  cooperation  of  every 
Californian  along  this  line,  and ;  after  all,  the  great 
results  can  only  be  obtained  by  each  one  doing  his 
or  her  "bit"  individually,  and  asking  for  local  prod- 
ucts, preferably  by  name.  If  this  would  actually 
occur,  the  results  would  be  of  inconceivable  bene- 
fit to   everyone. 

Manufacturers  admit  that  California  has  extra- 
ordinary facilities  to  offer  them.  Plant  construction 
is  less  than  in  the  ordinary  industrial  center  because 
there  is  no  need  for  so  much  protection  against  the 
weather.  Expensive  heating  plants  are  not  required 
and  considerable  work  can  be  done  in  the  open.  The 
cost  of  raw  materials  can  similarly  be  reduced  be- 
cause of  the  greater  efficiency  of  production.  This 
may  be  said  of  the  cost  of  power  because  of  the  huge 
developments   of  our   hydro-electric   resources. 

With  proper  co-operation  and  co-ordination  of  all 
the  elements  entering  into  the  economic  life  of  this 
district,  there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  Los  An- 
geles and  the  territory  immediately  surrounding  it, 
will  be — instead  of  the  seventh  industrial  city,  the 
largest  producing  district  in  the  United  States. 

But  at  the  same  time,  these  manufacturers  do  not 
forget  that  the  first  requisite  to  successful  manufac- 
lUring  is  a  good  market,  close  by.  This  meanS' — we 
must  buy  the  products  of  home  manufacturers.  So 
in  conclusion,  let  me  say,  "Keep  California  money  in 
California.     Buv   and   Boost   California   Products." 


THE  HEMET  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.  Oliver  Percival, 
Chairman  of  Program  Committee. 

The  Heraet  Woman's  Club  this  year  has  presented 
some  remarkable  programs.  There  were  two  of  par- 
ticular interest  to  the  community.  The  first,  a  civics 
program,  entitled  "Our  Town,"  gave  each  depart- 
ment in  the  club  a  chance  to  expres  what  its  could 
do  to  better  the  city. 

The  art  department  brought  forth  wonderful  ideas 
in  beautifying,  the  education  department  spoke  of 
improvement  of  grounds  and  buildings  of  our  schools, 
the  home  economics  department  suggested  ways  of 
improving  the  home,  while  the  child  welfare  division 
sought  cleanliness  in  dairies  and  dairy  products,  eli- 
mination of  flys,  etc.  The  literary  department  de- 
clared itself  for  better  films  and  better  books,  and  in 
this  fashion  all  the  departments  showed  what  a  splen- 
did institution  for  civic  betterment  a  woman's  club 
can   really  be. 

At  this  meeting  the  city  trustees  were  present,  by 
invitation,  also  the  editor  of  our  paper,  and  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  president  and  secretary.  All 
seemed  enthusiastic  over  new  ideas  brought  forth 
and  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  wrote  us  a  letter  ex- 
pressing a  desire  to  work  with  us  on  future  problems. 

The  second  meeting  of  great  interest  was  presented 
by  the  art  department.  This  consisted  of  an  exhibit 
of  Paisley  and  India  shawls,  old  platters  and  wrought 
iron.  It  is  surprising  how  many  things  of  great  age 
and  beauty  can  be  brought  together  in  a  small  com- 
munity. 

These  beautiful  shawls  hung  from  the  ceiling  and 
arranged  with  splendid  taste  on  the  walls,  carried 
one,  in  thought,  to  the  far-off  climes  from  whence 
they    came.      Mrs.    W.    B.    Thayer    of    Coronado,    an 


authority  on  shawls,  gave  the  address.  She  declared 
it  the  finest  small  collection  she  had  yet  seen,  and 
explained  in  detail  the  difference  in  weaves,  so  one 
could,  in  the  future,  classify  a' shawl   on   sight. 


LAGUNA 


BEACH 
CLUB 


WOMAN'S 


By  M.4RIE  Harding  Thurston,  Chairman  of  Publicity 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Laguna  Beach  has  recently 
passed  its  second  birthday,  and  all  realize  the  infant 
is  growing  rapidly.  The  enrollment  for  last  year 
showed    over    100    members. 

Under  the  four  sections — music,  art,  literature  and 
public  affairs — many  delightful  and  instructive  pro- 
grams  have   been   rendered. 

A  public  drinking  fountain,  designed  by  Julia 
Bracken  Wendt,  to  be  erected  in  the  near  future,  is 
one  of  the  things  that  funds  have  been  raised  for, 
the  past  year.  A  May  Day  fete  and  Greek  festival, 
originated  and  directed  by  Edna  Lee  Rider,  formerly 
of  the  Metropolitan  Opera.  Club,  was  a  feature  of 
last  year  and  will  be  repeated  this  year  during  the 
August  full   moon. 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of  Mrs.  William 
Swift  Daniell,  president,  the  club  has  become  promi- 
nent and  influential  and.  is  a  member  of  the  State 
and    National    Federation. 

We  are  now  purchasing  a  site  overlooking  the 
Pacific  Ocean  for  our  future  home.  All  the  meetings 
at  present  are  held  in  the  Laguna  Beach  Art  Gallery. 

On  June  7  two  hundred  delegates  to  the  Biennial, 
held  in  Los  Angeles,  were  entertained  by  Orange 
County,  assisted  by  the  club,  at  a  barbecue  at  La- 
guna  Beach.

PROiMINENT     LOS     ANGELES 

PIONEERS  RETURN  FROM 

GLOBE TOUR 

After  a  busy  three  decades  of  hard  work  in  estab- 
lishing and  carrying  on  what  has  developed  into  the 
world's  largest  business  of  its  kind,  with  headquarters 
in  Los  Angeles  and  offices  and  depositories  in  San 
Francisco,  Oakland  and  Fresno,  Martin  Bekins. 
founder  of  the  Bekins  Van  &  Storage  Company  of 
California,  and  Mrs.  M.  Bekins  decided  to  take  a 
vacation — a  trip  'round  the  world. 

Upon  their  return  a  few  days  ago  they  stated  that 
"the  trip  was  one  of  unusual  interest  and  highly  edu- 
cational, and  well  worth  the  year  and  a  half  of  time 
required." 

"Such  places  and  things  as  the  Temple  of  Heaven, 
Chinese  Empress,  Floating  Marble  Palace,  Ming 
Tombs,  the  squalid  conditions  of  life  in  the  Chinese 
quarters  of  Shanghai,  the  world-famed  Chinese  wall 
in  the  land  of  Buddha,  were  of  absorbing  interest. 
Japan,  with  its  inland  seas,  temples,  etc.,  was  par- 
ticularly fascinating  during  the  Autumn  Leaf  Festival, 
showing  seventy-two  varieties  of  maples.  The  re- 
forestation policy  of  our  island  neighbor  is  worthy  of 
note — every  felled  tree  and  every  tree  showing  signs 
of  decay  is  immediately  replaced.  This  work  has 
been  carried  out  in  Korea,  where  the  wantonly- 
stripped  forests  have  been  replanted  by  the  Japanese. 

"Contrary  to  certain  reports,  we  found  a  great  re- 
gard and  respect  for  Governor-General  Wood  in  the 
Philippines. 

"Singapore,  Java,  Delhi,  Bombay  and  dozens  of 
points  of  interest  were  visited,  including  the  much 
talked  of  King  Tut's  tomb,  which  by  the  way  I  found 
to  be  tremendously  interesting  in  view  of  its  rela- 
tion to  storage  and  preservation  of  things  in  the  light 


of  our  modern  fireproof,  concrete  and  steel  vaults  and 

depositories."

through  it,  to  business  generally. 


A  HOME  PRODUCTS 
EXPONENT 

Dedicated  to  better  merchandising  methods  and  to 
more  efficient  service  of  the  public,  the  Sam  Seelig 
Company  publishes  weekly  a  house  and  trade  organ 
under  the  title  of  "The  Clincher."  A  recent  number 
in  colors  celebrates  the  establishment  of  the  two  hun- 
dredth Seelig  store  in  California,  forty-two  towns  now 
having  these  establishments.  This  number  of  "The 
Clincher"  predicts  that  within  five  years  there  will 
be  that  many  hundred  Seelig  stores. 

The  Seelig  company  is  one  which  early  espoused 
the  cause  of  California  products,  and  through  its 
unique  and  effective  methods  of  advertising  and  dis- 
tributing it  has  contributed  enormously  to  the  for- 
ward progress  of  the  movement  inaugurated  by  Cali- 
fornia club  women  for  the  patronage  of  home  facto- 
ries. There  are  but  few  California-made  articles  of 
commerce  which  come  within  the  elastic  category  of 
"groceries"  which  are  not  to  be  found  in  the  elab- 
orate  Seelig  stocks. 

Manufactured  near  at  hand  and  purchased  in 
enormous  quantities  for  many  stores  at  once,  these 
godos  are  made  available  to  the  public  at  prices 
which,  quality  for  quality,  have  proved  a  revelation 
to  women  accustomed  to  buying  the  more  extensively 
advertised   products  of  Eastern  foodstuff  factories. 

In  this  the  Seelig  Company  and  other  exponents  of 
the  home-products  campaign  have  demonstrated  that 
the  policy  not  only  saves  money  for  themselves  and 
their   customers   but   that   it   makes   monev   for   every-

MARGARINE  A  WAR 
DISCOVERY 

By    Warner    O'Brien,    Gen.   Mgr.,  Morris   Sf   Co. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  stories  concerning  foods 
is  that  of  the  discovery  of  margarine.  At  the  time 
of  the  Franco-Prussian  War,  in  1870,  Paris  was  sur- 
rounded and  besieged  by  the  enemy.  The  supply  of 
food  was  being  rapidly  reduced,  and  the  lack  of  feed 
was  killing  the  needed  cattle. 

Realizing  the  catastrophe  which  Paris  was  facing, 
due  to  the  lack  of  butter  fat.  Napoleon  Bonaparte 
offered  a  valuable  prize  to  the  person  who  could 
transform  fat  into   a  lasting  edible  food   product. 

With  many  others,  Mege-Mouries,  a  French  epi- 
cure, started  research  for  a  formula  by  which  a  but- 
ter equivalent  could  be  made.  Mouries  reasoned 
that  since  these  poorly  fed  cattle  were  still  producing 
milk  from  which  butter  was  made,  the  butter  fat 
in  such  milk  must  come  from  the  reserve  fats  stored 
in  the  animal's  body.  He  worked  out  a  formula  for 
the  product  called  "oleo  margarine"  because  it  con- 
sisted of  oleo  oil,  vegetable  oils,  cream  and  milk. 

After  a  thorough  trial,  France  unreservedly  ac- 
cepted oleomargarine  as  a  table  spread  and  shorten- 
ing. The  country  gradually  grew  to  wealth  after  the 
war,  but  oleomargarine,  since  called  margarine,  was 
not  discarded — it  had  become  a  necessity  to  the  ex- 
cellence of  French  cooking.  All  the  great  dairy  coun- 
tries of  Europe,  such  as  Denmark,  Holland,  Sweden 
and  Norway,  consume  large  quantities  of  it.  The 
manufacture  of  this  product  invented  to  alleviate  a 
temporary  want,  is  one  of  the  greatest  food  indus- 
tries of  modern  times,  and  because  of  its  health-giving 
propensities  has  become  a  most  popular  food  product. 

The  factories  in  which  margarine  is  made  are 
under  the  most  rigid  government  inspection,  so  that 
the  product  is  entirely  sanitary  as  well  as  whole- 
some. Sanitary  piping  conveys  the  repasteurized, 
ripened  milk  from  the  pasteurizer  to  glass  enameled 
warming  tanks  and  from  there  to  the  churns.  The 
refined  nut  oils  are  drawn  from  large  storage  tanks 
into  a  glass-lined  tank  mounted  on  scales.  In  huge 
churns  the  mixing  of  the  fats  and  milk  takes  place. 
After  the  churning  is  complete,  the  mixture  is  in  a 
liquid  form.  It  is  released  from  the  churn  into  a 
chute  where  it  meets  a  stream  of  filtered  ice  water 
that  agitates  the  emulsion  and  causes  it  to  solidify 
as  it  moves  on  into  wooden  vats.  The  water  drains 
out  of  these  at  once,  leaving  the  solid  margarine  in 
small  particles  resembling  butter  which  has  just  been 
taken  from  the  churn.  The  margarine  is  then  con- 
veyed into  a  seasoning  room  and  there  kept  until 
the  milk  flavor  has  been  further  developed.  Then  the 
product  is  placed  on  a  circular  revolving  table,  where 
the  excess  moisture  is  pressed  out,  salt  to  taste  is  added 
and  the   desired  texture   is  obtained. 

A  visit  to  the  Morris  and  Company  margarine  fac- 
tory in  which  Milcoa  is  prepared  would  prove  both 
interesting  and  educational  to  the  members  of  the 
women's  clubs  of  Los  Angeles  and  vicinity,  and  on 
behalf  of  Morris  and  Company,  I  invite  you  to  come 
to  the  plant  either  as  a  group  or  as  individuals. 

MEN'S  CLUB  FOR  WOMEN 

"One  of  the  most  notable  features  in  the  develop- 
ment of  men's  "social  clubs  in  recent  years  has  been 
the  large  and  increasing  provision  for  the  women  of 
the  members,"  declares  'W.  P.  Jeffries,  president  of 
the  Jonathan   Club. 

"In  the  early  days  there  were  no  women's  depart- 
ments. The  ladies  were  admitted  to  certain  social 
functions,  but  more  as  a  courtesy  than  anything  else. 
They  were  given  no  recognition  in  the  general  activi- 
ties of  the  several  organizations.  There  were  'Ladies' 
Nights'  to  which  they  were  invited,  and  occasionally 
they  were  permitted  to  entertain,  individually  or  col- 
lectivelv,  on  their  own  account. 


"All  this  is  changed  now,  particularly  in  the  west. 
Most  men's  clubs  have  large,  well-equipped  and  well- 
managed  women's  departments,  where  the  wives  and 
other  feminine  members  of  the  family  may  enjoy 
dub  facilities   under  the  same  roof  with  their  men. 

"The  Jonathan  Club  has  taken  cognizance  of  this 
change  in  the  plans  for  its  new  home  soon  to  be 
erected.  Here  approximately  eight  thousand  square 
feet  of  space  will  be  occupied  by  the  different  fea- 
tures of  the  women's  dpartmnt  on  the  third  floor. 

"The  women's  dining  room  will  seat  about  200  per- 
sons. This  room,  together  with  the  women's  lounge 
on  the  same  floor,  are  entirely  different  in  architec- 
tural treatment  from  the  other  departments  of  the 
building,  being  especially  dainty  and  refined.  Lock- 
ers and  other  provision  for  women  are  contained  in 
the  gymnasium  of  the  fifth  floor,  and  there  are  wom- 
en's hairdressing  rooms  on  the  sixth  floor." 

THE  GLORIES  OF  WAR 

By  Henry  J.  Boden 

Each  year,  on  May  30,  the  people  of  the  United 
States  pay  homage  to  their  honored  dead  who  gave 
up  their  lives  in  defense  of  their  country.  Few  peo- 
ple who  have  never  been  under  fire  on  the  battlefield 
tan  realize  what  is  meant  by  sacrificing  one's  life 
for  his  country.  I  have  read  stories  and  articles 
which  were  indeed  faithful  in  their  portrayal  of  the 
battlefield,  written  by  men  who  had  lived  through, 
not  only  one,  but  many  battles,  but  none  of  these  sto- 
ries, despite  their  faithfulness,  can  hope  to  bring  home 
to  its  readers  the  real  meaning  of  death  on  the  field 
of  battle.  I  cannot  hope  to  accomplish  what  world 
famous  writers  have  failed  to  do,  but  I  will  cite  a 
few  instances  that  I  personally  witnessed  in  France 
wherein  comrades  of  mine  gave  up  their  lives  for 
their  country. 

We  were  advancing  in  short  rushes  across  a  wheat 
field,  with  five  paces  between  men  and  in  wave  form- 
ation with  thirty  paces  between  waves.  Shells  were 
lighting  all  around  us  from  the  first  rush.  Then  the 
dreaded  shrapnel  began  to  burst  everywhere  at  once, 
it  seemed.  Suddenly  one  burst  in  the  wave  I  was  in. 
First  Lieutenant  Higley  and  a  private  who  was  on 
his  right  were  knocked  flat  by  the  concussion.  I  and 
another  sergeant  stopped  to  give  first  aid.  We  found 
Lieutenant  Higley's  legs  crushed  to  jelly  by  the  explo- 
sion of  the  shell,  his  arms  were  broken  and  he  was 
bleeding  from  several  cuts  about  the  upper  part  of 
his  body.  When  we  stopped  beside  him  to  render 
first  aid,  he  waved  us  on  and  said:  "I'll  be  all  right 
until  the  'medics'  get  here;  take  care  of  Hornbeck, 
he's  hit  hard,"  but  when  we  got  to  Hornbeck  he  was 
dead;  his  entire  right  side-  was  nearly  torn  away. 
We  covered  his  body  with  his  slicker  and  went  back 
to  Lieutenant  Higley.  I  rolled  him  a  cigarette  and 
gave  it  to  him,  but  before  he  could  finish  smoking  it 
he  had  joined  the  private  in  the  great  beyond. 

These  two  deaths,  although  horrible,  were  In  a 
measure  merciful  in  that  the  men  did  not  live  but 
about  twenty  minutes  after  they  were  hit.  But  not 
so  was  the  death  of  Corporal  Hurley,  we  will  call 
him,  because  I  don't  want  to  take  a  chance  of  having 
his  mother  read  this  after  I  wrote  her  from  France 
telling  how  peacefully  he  passed  away.  Hurley  was 
also  hit  by  shrapnel  which  put  nine  great  holes  in 
his  body,  broke  his  right  leg  In  three  places  and  tore 
away  his  left  hand.  After  giving  him  first  aid  and 
making  his  as  comfortable  as  possible,  we  had  to 
leave  him  and-  "carry  on."  Later  I  met  a  "medic"  I 
knew  and  he  told  me  Hurley  lay  for  forty-eight  hours 
in  the  field  where  we  had  left  him  before  the  medic 
could  take  care  of  him.  His  wounds  were  dressed 
and  he  was  sent  back  to  the  Field  Hospital  where 
fever  that  had  continually  been  rising  finally  won. 
He  was  made  a  raving  maniac  by  his  wounds,  from 
thirst  and  loss  of  blood.  He  died  without  ever  re- 
gaining consciousness.

"FOR  OF  SUCH  IS  THE  KINGDOM" 


To  bring  their  laws  concerning  children  up  to 
twentieth  century  standards,  twenty-nine  states  and 
the  District  of  Columbia  have,  at  some  time  during 
the  past  twelve  years,  created  official  commissions  for 
the  study  and    revision  of  child-welfare   laws. 

States  in  which  commissions  have  done  active  work 
are:  Connecticut,  Delaware,  Georgia,  Indiana,  Kan- 
sas, Kentucky,  Maryland,  Minnesota,  Missouri,  Ne- 
braska, New  Hampshire,  New  York,  North  Dakota, 
Ohio,  Oregon,  South  Carolina,  South  Dakota,  Utah, 
Virginia,  West  Virginia,  and  Wisconsin.  Three  ad- 
ditional states  have  had  special  committees  for  child- 
welfare  legislation.  These  are:  Alabama,  Colorado, 
and  Illinois.  New  commissions  are  this  year  organ- 
izing for  work  in  Florida,  Iowa,  and  Pennsylvania. 

Laws  concerning  children  have  developed  unevenly 
End  spasmodically  in  the  various  States,  it  is  pointed 
out,  resulting  in  legal  systems  which  include  an- 
tiquated statutes  in  one  field,  progressive  statutes  in 
another,  and  in  many  cases,  gaps  in  the  laws  at  im- 
portant points.  The  object  of  the  child-welfare  com- 
mission movement  has  been  to  study  all  laws  con- 
cerning children,  to  revise  and  coordinate  them  so 
that  each  State  may  afford  the  best  possible  protec- 
tion to  its  children. 

Commissions  have  considered  a  wide  variety  of  stat- 
utes affecting  the  interests  of  children.  Some  of  the 
subjects  considered  by  many  of  the  commissions  in- 
cluded juvenile  courts,  the  care  of  delinquent,  depend- 
ent and  neglected  children,  mothers'  allowances,  adop- 
tions, children  in  industry,  protection  of  maternity  and 
infancy,  child  health,  and  the  general  protection  of 
children   (including  marriage  and  guardianship  laws). 

Among  the  most  successful  of  the  state  commissions 
have  been  those  of  North  Dakota,  Virginia,  and  Min- 
nesota. Out  of  twenty-five  bills  submitted  to  the  first 
session  of  the  North  Dakota  legislature  following  the 
report  of  its  commission,  twenty  were  passed.  In 
Virginia  eighteen  out  of  the  twenty-eight  bills  recom- 
mended to  the  general  assembly  by  the  commission 
were  passed.  In  Minnesota  out  of  the  forty-three 
measures  recommended  thirty-five  were  enacted  into 
law. 

"The  value  of  the  work  of  state  child-welfare  coni- 
missions  does  not  lie  entirely  in  the  percentage  of 
tlieir  recommended  bills  that  are  enacted  into  law," 
the  Children's  Bureau  points  out  "the  real  value 
of  the  work  of  a  commission  lies  in  the  educational 
work  it  has  done,  the  interest  it  has  stimulated,  and 
the  unity  of  purpose  that  it  has  developed  among 
the  child-welfare  workers  of  the  State,  fully  as  much 
as  in  the  program  of  legislation  that  it  has  succeeded 
in   placing  upon   the   statute   books." 

As  an  example  of  successful  work  by  a  State  child- 
welfare  commission,  a  summary  of  the  achievements 
of  the  North  Dakota's  children's  code  commission, 
one  of  the  most  recent  commissions,  is  given.  The 
commission  began  its  work  by  making  studies  of 
child-welfare  conditions  in  the  state.  These  studies 
not  only  showed  the  needs  of  the  children  through- 
out the  state  but  also  interested  parents  and  local  com- 
munities in  the  commission's  work.  On  the  basis  of' 
t.'ie  facts  secured,  'the  commission  drafted  bills  pro- 
viding for  modern  standards  in  the  laws  concerning 
illegitimate  children,  mothers'  pensions,  adoption,  the 
supervision  of  homes  and  institutions,  the  care  and 
treatment  of  crippled  children,  child  labor,  school  at- 
tendance, abandonment  or  neglect  of  wife  and  child, 
and  the  guardianship  of  children. 

During   1923   new   commissions   were    authorized   or 

existing    commissions    were    at    work    in    Delaware,

BLOOMINGTON  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  M.  C.  Barber,  Member  Press  Committee 

The  Bloomington  Club  is  closing  its  fourth  year 
with  regret  that  it  has  not  been  able  to  accomplish 
all  it  had  planned,  but  is  looking  hopefully  to  the 
future. 

A  special  disappointment  just  now  is  the  aban- 
donment of  recopricity  day,  for  which  a  very  attract- 
ive program  had  been  made,  but  it  seemed  best 
to  fall  in  line  with  others  under  the  present  unfa- 
vorable conditions. 

Through  the  kindness  of  our  county  president  and 
her  husband  a  number  of  club  members  have  had  the 
pleasure  and  profit  of  attending  various  meetings 
during  the  year.  The  sum  of  $125  was  given 
toward  furnishing  a  room  in  Monte  Vista  Home,  and 
rugs,  curtains  and  other  adornments  have  been 
added. 

Although  hampered  by  prolonged  illness,  our  social 
service  chairman,  Mrs.  Mary  Reed,  has  kept  her 
hand  on  the  wheel  and  provided  reading  matter, 
clothing,  fruit  for  the  sick  and  giving  special  atten- 
tion to  the  mens'  ward  in  the  county  hospital,  also 
well  filled   Christmas  boxes. 

Ten  dollars  was  given  to  the  Crippled  Children's 
Hospital  in  San  Bernardino,  and  two  pairs  of  out- 
grown braces  were  sent  by  Mrs.  Pangborn  of  Colton. 

In  conjunction  with  the  chamber  of  commerce  ."'H 
the  P.-T.A.,  the  club  pays  the  rent  of  a  room  ror  the 
Bloomington   branch   of   the   County  Library. 

A  Shakespeare  class  was  formed  and  is  studying 
"Midsummer's  Night  Dream."  Mrs.  John  A.  Wheeler, 
who  had  the  program  for  April,  placed  a  bronze  bust 
of  Shakespeare  upon  the  table,  with  sketches  and 
pictures  of  prominent  places  in  his  writings.  A  very 
pleasant   hour    was    spent.

SAN    DIEGO    BUSINESS    AND 

PROFESSIONAL   WOMEN'S 

CLUB 

By   Gertrude  L.  Mumford 

To  see  a  need,  and  then  to  fill  it;  to  visualize  an 
ideal,  and  make  it  practicable — surely  these  things 
are  worth  while.  At  least,  that  is  what  the  members 
of  the  San  Diego  Business  and  Professional  Women's 
Club  thought  when  th«  need  for  a  vocational  place- 
ment bureau  was  first  discussed  and  they  determined 
to  assume  full  responsibility  for  such  an  organization. 

The  Vocational  Placement  Bureau  of  the  Business 
and  Professional  Women's  Club,  now  beginning  its 
second  year  of  activity,  is  in  no  way  to  be  conf'used 
with  a  commercial  employment  agency.  From  the 
beginning  emphasis  has  been  laid  on  the  club  idea — 
that  the  bureau  is  a  sort  of  clearing  house  where  the 
business  woman  may  bring  her  ideas,  her  hopes,  or 
her  discouragements,  and  find  fulfillment  and  renewed 
courage.  A  large  part  of  the  work  of  Miss  Pickett, 
director  of  the  bureau,  is  the  gathering  of  vocational 
data,  by  means  of  which  she  fits  the  right  person  to 
the  right  job.  In  this  connection,  it  is  interesting  to 
note  that  while  40  per  cent  of  her  placements  last 
year  were  with  straight  commercial  firms,  the  arts 
and  sciences  together  were  represented  by  almost  as 
large  a  total  percentage. 

In  its  first  year  of  life  about  3800  calls  were  made 


at  the  office  of  the  bureau,  approximately  350  orders 
received  and  about  250  filled.  Club  members,  who 
are  interested  because  they  realize  the  value  of  this 
movement,  and  girls  who  have  secured  positions 
through  the  bureau,  take  out  either  general  or  service 
memberships,  and  are  enthusiastic  in  doing  their 
share  to  help  the  work  go  on. 

On  July  23  about  250  members  of  the  bureau  were 
invited  to  attend  the  regular  evening  meeting  of  the 
Business  and  Professional  Women's  Club  for  the  pur- 
pose of  exchanging  ideas  and  promoting  a  spirit  of 
friendly  co-operation  between  the  two  bodies  so 
closely  allied.  The  success  of  the  evening  was  most 
gratifying,  and  further  meetings  are  being  planned 
along  the  same  lines. 

One  notable  feature  of  the  work  of  the  bureau  is 
the  publicity  it  has  attracted  from  outside  the  State. 
From  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Massachusetts,  and 
Pennsylvania  people  have  come  to  ask  questions  and 
to  learn  something  about  its  aims  and  achievements 
— to  say  nothing  of  the  people  from  many  States  who 
have  come  looking  for  positions.  In  Miss  Pickett's 
files  are  many  letters  of  appreciation  of  the  work  she 
is  doing. 

And  back  of'  it  all  stand  the  members  of  the  Busi- 
ness and  Professional  Women's  Club,  who  seized  this 
opportunity  for  a  piece  of  constructive  civic  and  social 
work.  By  assuming  the  financial  responsibility  they 
have  practically  endowed  the  bureau,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected this  second  year's  work  will  shovr  definitely 
the  value  of  such  a  service  to  the  community.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


EBELL  IN  SUMMERTIME 

By  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


When  the  final  program  of  the  year  at  Ebell  Club 
of  Los  Angeles  is  over  and  the  members  have  wished 
each  other  a  happy  vacation,  most  of  them  put  all 
thought  of  club  activities  out  of  their  minds  fvar  three 
months  and  hie  themselves  to  the  beach  or  mountains 
or  on  journeys  to  far  distant  lands,  giving  never  a 
thought  to  the  very  intensive  work  that  must  be  com- 
menced immediately  to  prepare  for  the  success  of  the 
coming  year.  Officers,  directors  and  chairmen  of 
committees  must  select  their  assistants;  reports  must 
be  written  for  the  year  book;  the  whole  house  must 
be  cleaned  and  repaired  and  put  in  order.  The 
names  of  all  members  of  committees  are  published  in 
the  year  book  and  this  means  that  these  lists  must  be 
completed  and  handed  to  the  first  vice-president,  who 
has  the  year  book  in  charge,  at  the  very  earliest  pos- 
sible moment.  Literally  hundreds  of  telephone  calls 
are  necessary,  and,  owing  to  the  policy  of  Ebell  not 
to  have  any  member  serve  on  more  than  one  com- 
mittee, each  chairman  must  be  alert  to  secure  the 
ones  she  considers  most  desirable  ere  some  other  has 
been  before  her  in  bespeaking  the  services  of  that 
particular  one. 

Board  meetings  go  on  as  usual  until  the  last  of 
July,  when  the  president  grants  a  brief  four  or  six 
weeks  rest  to  the  weary  officers  and  directors,  vrho 
by  that  time  are  fully  convinced  they  have  earned  it. 
At  the  last  meeting  for  this  summer,  Mrs.  Read,  the 
president,  entertained  with  a  delightful  luncheon, 
where  the  spirit  of  contentment  over  work  well  done 
and  all  in  order  for  the  fall  opening  seemed  to  pre- 
vade  the  air. 

There  will  be  only  two  new  faces  at  the  regular 
board  meetings  this  year;  Mrs.  F.  W.  Pitcher  suc- 
ceeds Mrs.  Samuel  Cary  Dunlap  as  chairman  of 
Scholarships,  and  Mrs.  William  R.  Wherry  succeeds 
Mrs.  George  Cook  as  chairman  of  Rest  Cottage. 
These  two  offices  are  considered  of  the  utmost  impor- 
tance, requiring  women  of  rare  tact,  judgment,  sym- 
pathy and  understanding,  and  the  appointment  to 
either,  while  carrying  grave  responsibility,  is  one  of 
the  highest  honors  to  be  achieved  in  Ebell. 

Mrs.  A.  Bennet  Cooke  has  been  appointed  Federa- 
tion Secretary  for  Ebell,  succeeding  Mrs.  Clyde  Emer- 
son Gates.  Mrs.  Cooke  is  also  one  of  the  board  of 
directors  of  Ebell  and  so  can  keep  that  body  in  close 
touch  with  the  larger  organization. 

Mrs.  C.  R.  Luton  is  to  be  the  chairman  of  the 
Benefits  and  Entertainments  committee,  one  of  the 
largest  and  most  active  groups  in  the  club.  On  their 
efforts  in  giving  successful  entertainments  depend 
the  working  funds  of  Practical  Relief,  Rest  Cottage 
and  the  Scholarship  fund. 

Mrs.  Grantland  S.  Long  has  the  responsible  posi- 
tion of  chairman  of  the  Building  and  Lot  committee. 

A  new  committee.  Club  Survey,  is  in  charge  of 
Mrs.  Charles  D.  Burt,  and  the  object  is  to  make  a 
complete  file  of  the  members'  preference  for  different 
lines  of  work  in  the  club  and  their  former  experience, 
so  that  the  choosing  of  committees  and  placing  mem- 
bers in  congenial  posistions  will  be  greatly  simplified. 

Another  new  committee  is  called  the  President's 
Secretarial  Aid,  and  is  composed  of  Mrs.  E.  C.  Pyle, 
Mrs.  A.  B.  Ross  and  Mrs.  Laura  P.  Joyce. 

Mrs.  Leon  F.  Moss  will  head  the  Courtesy  committee, 
who  are  so  largely  responsible  for  Ebell's  reputation 
for  hospitality  and  friendliness. 

Mrs.  J.  A.  Rogers  is  chairman  of  Credentials,  and 
Miss  Ada   Dryden  of   Memberships. 

Decorations  in  the  auditorium  will  be  under  the 
direction  of  Mrs.  Charles  Howe,  while  the  ushers  will 


be  under  Mrs.  Charles  Stavnow,  and  the  President's 
pages  are  Mrs.  O.  H.  Belew  and  Miss  Elizabeth 
Jenkins.  Programs  will  be  taken  care  of  by  Miss 
Frederica  de  Laguna,  and  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell  re- 
mains as  Press  Chairman.  Mrs.  Lyman  C.  Blaseslee 
is  chairman  of  the  house.  Miss  Emma  Seibert  has 
charge  of  the  library,  Mrs.  William  B.  Scarborough 
is  in  charge  of  all  printing,  and  Mrs.  Leslie  R.  Hewitt 
supervises  rentals.  Practical  Relief  is  in  charge  of 
Mrs.  T.  J.  Fletcher,  and  it  does  seem  as  if  no  one 
else  could  ever  quite  fill  her  place. 

The  beautiful  painting,  "The  Witchery  of  Winter," 
by  Benjamin  C.  Brown,  which  was  rcently  purchased 
by  the  State  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  has  been 
given  into  the  custody  of  Ebell  for  the  summer 
months.  It  is  such  a  lovely,  inspiring  glimpse  of  the 
Yosemite,  in  the  most  exquisite  coloring,  that  every 
one  exclaims  over  its  beauty.  The  clubs  contributing 
to  the  purchase  of  this  masterpiece  have  indeed  a 
thing  of  beauty  which  will  be  a  joy  forever. 


NORWALK   WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Herbert  Browning,  Press  Chairman 

On  the  evening  of  November  13,  1922,  a  small 
group  of  Norwalk's  most  prominent  women  met  in 
the  rooms  of  the  Norwalk  Public  Library  in  an  effort 
to  form  a  study  club.  The  aim  of  this  organization 
to  be  a  study  of  local  social  interests,  a  furtherance 
of  the  aesthetic  standards  of'  the  community  and  for 
individual  development. 

Officers  were  elected  at  this  time  and  a  series  of 
books  was  purchased  and  work  along  literary  lines 
started   immediately. 

It  was  the  belief  of  the  club  at  this  time  that  a 
small  number  of  members  would  perhaps  accomplish 
more  as  a  study  club  than  a  larger  membership.  But 
early  in  the  life  of  this  young  club,  inquiries  concern- 
ing membership  were  coming  from  all  sides. 

At  a  second  meeting  standing  committees  were  ap- 
pointed such  as  the  ways  and  means,  publicity,  mem- 
bership, social  service   and   program. 

At  a  meeting  of  December  12,  1922,  the  constitution 
was   presented   to  the  members  for  consideration. 

It  was  soon  realized  that  a  woman's  club  for  all 
Norwalk  and  vicinity  was  needed,  and  in  order  that 
the  ladies  of  the  community  might  meet  in  a  social 
evening,  one  of  the  members  of  the  club  offered  her 
home  for  the  occasion.  On  January  15,  1923,  a  large 
number  of  guests  were  present  and  such  a  delightfoil 
evening  was  spent  that  most  of  the  guests  soon  be- 
came members. 

On  August  20,  1923,  the  Norwalk  Woman's  Club 
having  been  incorporated  three  months,  finds  itself 
eligible  for  federation. 

The  club  has  given  to  the  public  many  pleasant 
evenings,  some  for  entertainment  and  others  for  rais- 
ing funds. 

At  a  meeting  early  in  February  a  lot  was  donated 
to  the  Norwalk  Woman's  Club  with  the  provision 
that  not  less  than  a  $10,000  club  house  be  erected. 
The  donation  was  accepted  and  a  financial  campaign 
from  February  20  to  24,  exclusive,  started  immedi- 
ately. The  estimated  cost  of  the  building  is  about 
$10,500.  The  ladies  disposed  of  bonds,  raising  suf- 
ficient money  in  this  manner  to  cover  the  building 
expense  and  have  sufficient  cash  on  hand  to  cover  the 
expense  of  furnishing  the  building  after  it  is  com- 
pleted. Construction  work  on  the  club  house  is  now 
in  active  progress  and  it  is  the  hope  of*  the  members 
to  have  it  completed  by  the  date  of  the  second  anni- 
versary.

THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

May   W.  Benham,  Editor  of  Club  Bulletin 


On  June  27  there  was  dissolved  a  remarkable  or- 
ganization, the  out-going  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Friday  Morning  Club.  It  included  Mrs.  Andrew 
Stewart  Lobingier,  president;  Mrs.  Arthur  C.  Wier, 
first  vice-president;  Mrs.  Randall  Hutchinson,  second 
vice-president;  Miss  Helen  Louise  Kimball,  recording 
secretary;  Mrs.  William  Waller  Slayden,  correspond- 
ing secretary;  Mrs.  Charles  LeRoy  Lowman,  treas- 
urer; Mesdames  Oliver  P.  Clark,  Sarah  M.  Johnson, 
David  E.  Spangler  and  Misses  Alice  W.  Alden  and 
Therese  Levy,  directors. 

In  the  past  thirty  years  of  the  club's  history  there 
has  been  imposed  on  no  other  board  such  a  tremendous 
responsibility.  On  account  of  this  unique  and  special 
effort  an  unprecedented  provision  had  to  be  made 
so  that  this  board  might  be  empowered  to  continue 
their  labor  another  year  beyond  the  customary  two, 
for  the  club,  as  a  whole,  felt  that  the  finishing  of  the 
new  clubhouse  could  not  be  entrusted   to  inexperience. 

Our  faith  in  these  eleven  devoted  women  is  now 
fully  justified  as  we  look  upon  the  work  of  their  hands 
and  find  it  good.  It  has  been  said  that  each  angel 
is  given  a  special  gift.  Our  beautiful  club  home 
stands  today  a  monument  to  this  idea.  Each  member 
of-  our  distinguished  board  has  brought  to  its  evolu- 
tion her  own  gift  and  with  deep  devotion  laid  it  on 
the  altar.  And  now  today  there  stands  erected  a 
structure,  noble  in  contour,  dignified  in  substance  and 
imbued  with  an  atmosphere  so  harmonious  and  ex- 
alted that  one  feels  sure  an  eternal  and  satisfying 
peace  must  ever  dwell  within  its  walls  and  that  from 
them  shall  radiate  the  spirit  expressed  in  the  words 
engraved  upon  them: 


"We  dedicate  this  building  to  the  highest  welfare 
of  our  homes,  our  schools,  our  city,  our  country  and 
the  world.  We  pledge  ourselves  that  nothing  human 
shall  be  foreign  to  our  sympathy  and  our  helpfulness." 

While  to  no  future  board  can  come  a  task  so  ardu- 
ous yet  the  duties  awaiting  the  new  board  are  by  no 
means  negligible.  They  must  find  themselves  on  their 
entrance  to  their  new  duties,  quick  in  initiative  and 
able  in  execution.  It  is  not  easy  to  follow  such  abil- 
ity and  experience  but  it  is  their  good  fortune  to  in- 
clude among  their  number  three  of  the  earlier  group 
and    their   help    will    prove    invaluable. 

The  new  board  includes:  Mrs.  Florence  Moore 
Kreider,  president;  Mrs.  Herman  H.  Kerckhoff,  first 
vice-president;  Mrs.  William  Francis  Howard,  second 
vice-president;  Mrs.  William  Waller  Slayden,  record- 
ing secretary;  Mrs.  Charles  S.  Burnell,  corresponding 
secretary;  Miss  Helen  Louise  Kimball,  treasurer; 
Mesdames  Charles  Lincoln  Benham,  Christian  H. 
Hartke,  Charles  LeRoy  Lowman,  William  A.  E. 
Noble  and  Miss  Caroline  M.  Darnall,  directors. 

With  the  thought  that  our  new  club  in  truth  is  ours 
not  only  in  name  but  in  deed,  our  new  president  has 
instituted  an  innovation  through  her  board  which  has 
received  a  most  happy  and  gratifying  response.  For 
the  first  time  in  our  recent  history  our  building  has 
been  thrown  open  for  the  use  of  its  members  through- 
out the   summer  vacation. 

Teas  are  being  held  each  Friday  with  informal  pro- 
grams for  social  discussion,  or  those  who  prefer  may 
entertain  at  cards.  An  opportunity  has  also  been 
given  to  entertain  at  private  luncheons  on  request  at 
a  nominal  price.     These  luncheons  have  been  served,

The  CLUBWOMAN 


when  not  too  large,  in  our  beautiful  library.  From 
these  informal  gatherings  have  radiated  a  glow 
which  has  the  spirit  of  the  old  fashioned  "house- 
warming'".  Already  our  rooms  have  the  charm  of  the 
"lived  in"  home.  We  feel  we  are  creating  a  spiritual 
hearth  at  whose  fires  our  souls  may  warm  themselves, 
keeping  something  of  the  significance  of  the  "hanging 
of  the  crane"  with  a  larger  sense. 

Many  other  privileges  are  being  planned  for  the 
members,  their  personal,  and  federated  guests.  Our 
dearest  wish  Is  that  no  one  be  turned  from  our  door 
chilled  with  unwelcome  but  filled  with  a  happy  glow 
that  will  serve  to  light  similar  fires. 

If  this  new  club  lif'e  which  is  engrossing  our  women 
of  America  means  anjthing,  it  must  denote  primarily 
development  and  progress  along  right  lines.  Our 
greatest  desire  in  the  Friday  Morning  Club  is  to  "hear 
ourselves  grow",  to  give  something  of  ourselves  to 
every  friend  or  stranger  who  enters  our  gates  that 
insofar  we  may  be  a  little  prepared  for  the  universal 
and  the  cosmic  verities  which  await  us. 

There  follows  a  symposium  of  different  expressions 
of  thought  furnished  by  some  of  our  most  valued 
members. 


Miss  Alice  W.  Alden  says:  It  is  good  for  us  to  see 
ourselves  through  the  eyes  of  others.  During  the 
Biennial  we  had  many  visitors  for  other  clubs  and 
their  intelligent  comment  and  questions  gave  us  new 
standpoints  from  which  to  view  our  endeavors  and 
accomplishments. 

The  form  of  government  of  our  club,  though  prob- 
ably not  unique  among  clubs,  is  sufficiently  unusual 
to  call  forth  comment.  A  club  of  more  than  twenty- 
five  hundred  members,  has  a  Board  of  Directors  num- 
bering eleven  who  transact  all  the  business  of  the 
club,  save  only  the  buying,  selling  and  mortgaging  of 
real  estate  which  must  be  authorized  by  the  club  as 
a  whole  at  business  meetings  of  which  there  must  be 
at  least  one  every  year.  There  is  also  an  Advisory 
Council  of  Past  Presidents  to  assist  in  the  general 
management. 

The  standing  committees  of  the  club  are  named  in 
the  by-laws,  the  chairmen  of  these  are  appointed  by 
the  president  and  choose  their  own  associates.  Other 
committees  are  established  by  the  board  of  directors 
and   their  chairmen   appointed   bj'   the   president. 

Our  new  clubhouse  was,  of  course,  the  center  of  in- 
terest during  the  Biennial  as  a  building  in  which 
every  part  fills  some  purpose  in  the  life  of  a  large 
and  active  club,  as  well  as  being  a  rentable  unit  con- 
tributing toward  the  ultimate  payment  of  the  building 
debt.  Our  guests  appreciated  that  practical  purpose 
as  well  as  the  f'act  that  the  sheer  beauty  of  the  build- 
ing has  a  definite  civic  value  as  a  contribution  to  the 
community  in  which   we   live. 


Miss  Cordelia  Kirkland  says:  As  I  have  passed  this 
morning  from  room  to  room  of  this  magnificent  new 
clubhouse  and  tried  to  realize  all  it  has  cost  in  labor 
and  talent  of  many  persons  in  many  ranks  of  life  dur- 
ing more  than  thirty  years,  one  question  has  occupied 
my  mind  profoundly.  Not  what  it  has  apparently 
cost  in  money  and  labor,  but  what  it  means  in  terms 
of  Life,  because  its  material  success  and  visual  per- 
fection has  been  after  all,  only  the  reflection  of  a  great 
ideal,  strongly  held,  determinedly  pursued,  by  hun- 
dreds of  participants  in  now,  many  parts  of  the  world. 
May  I  name  it  in  what  may  be  considered  rather 
grandiloquent  terms?  I  call  it  the  "Coming  Age  of 
American   Womanhood." 

The  individual  heroine  has  been,  as  saint  or  queen, 
celebrated  through  history,  from  the  Prophetess  De- 
borah to  our  own  Jane  Addams.  Mankind  as  well  as 
womankind  has  delighted  to  do  her  honor;  but  it 
seems  in  recent  years,  and  in  great  voluntary  societies 


like  this,  that  the  individual  woman  has  at  last  be- 
come conscious  of  the  power  of  combination;  has  dis- 
covered the  joy  of  voluntary  associated  comradeship- — 
has  become  a  force  to  whose  banners  less  confident 
sisters  can  flock  for  help  and  inspiration.  Behold  her 
triumph! 

And  more  by  token,  this  building  is  a  proof  that 
business  men,  (most  cautious  in  some  respects  of 
created  beings!)  are  showing  a  willingness  to  entrust 
this  new  partner  with  large  sums  of  money,  (at  good 
interest  of  course.)  And  this,  I  believe.  Is  a  develop- 
ment of  the  twentieth  century,  and  suggests  to  us  that 
women  have  become  adventurous  as  well  as  faithful, 
daring  as  well  as  devoted. 

Again,  the  keeping  of  records,  as  we  do  in  clubs, 
has  taught  us  the  power  of  Time  In  insuring  perma- 
nence by  keeping  a  register  of  successive  lives  of  de- 
votion to  the  same  Cause.  It  seems  to  work,  as  the 
years  go  by,  like  the  "Yo  Heave  Ho"  of  the  whole 
crew  as  compared  with  the  pull  of'  the  single  sailor; 
and  so  with  us,  experiences  piled  up,  made  us  feel 
like  flies,  to  be  brushed  off  the  celestial  windowpane 
by  the  ruthless  housemaid  Time!  Thus,  as  persist- 
ence works  to  accumulate  Character,  so  we  hope  to 
exchange  temporariness  for  permanence,  and  suffer- 
ance for  closer  comradeship  with  our  yokefellows  of 
the  world. 

Now,  in  choosing  our  leaders  during  the  thirty-four 
years  of  this  particular  venture,  I  think  we  have  been 
very  fortunately  Inspired.  In  looking  over  the  names 
of  those  who  have  led  our  onward  march,  beginning 
with  the  beloved  Madame  Severance,  I  find  next  Mrs. 
Osgood  (blessedly  still  with  us),  and  then  reverently 
remembering  the  noble  Margaret  Collier  Graham, 
(now  with  the  Immortals)  and  subsequent  leaders,  we 
can  register  a  round  dozen  of  honored  names,  every- 
one of  whom  so  far  as  I  know  (and  I  have  known 
most  of  them)  has  illustrated  her  distinguished  posi- 
tion with  those  virtues  which  in  this  appraisal  of  the 
new  age,  go  to  make  up  the  "perfect  woman  nobly 
planned,  to  war,  to  comf'ort  and  command,"  of  Words- 
worth; and,  moreover,  I  think  we  can  proudly  claim 
today  as  Tennyson  says,  that  "she  gains  in  mental 
breadth,  nor  fails  in  childward  care."  I  say,  Nature 
takes  care  of  that! 

Now,  what  are  the  qualities  indispensable  to  our 
ideal  of  the  perfectly  equipped  woman;  but  doubly 
so  if  she  would  fill  out  the  larger  pattern  of  the  newer 
age? 

First,  courage.  Oh,  what  courage  it  has  taken  for 
these  leaders  of  ours  to  weather  the  disappointments, 
forgive  the  mistakes,  smooth  out  or  pass  lightly  over 
the  differences  in  temper  and  temperament  of  the  many 
members,  some  of  whom  are  always  suffering  from 
groicing  pains! ! 

Next  to  courage;  the  ideal  woman  needs  faitli;  not 
the  little  two-cent  cliurcliiness  which  is  profoundly  con- 
vinced that  her  particular  form  of'  prejudice  is  per  se 
better  than  that  of  her  neighbor;  but  the  "faith  that 
makes  faithful"  In  all  relations  of  life,  through  good 
report  and  through  evil  report;  and  Is  so  sure  of  the 
fundamental  righteousness  of  this  universe,  that  she 
follows  its  inner  call,  though  her  feet  bleed  at  every 
step ! 

Then  loyalty.  Sometimes  I  think  that  loyalty  is  the 
sweetest  of  all  virtues.  It  is  so  single-minded.  Where 
it  has  once  given  Its  faith  it  never  budges  for  trifles. 
It  Is  not  critical — where  it  once  believes,  it  never  lis- 
tens to  slurs  or  innuendoes,  or  gives  In  to  accusations 
of  the  absent  without  protest.  Once  believing,  it  sticks 
to  a  cause,  or  a  friend,  or  a  club,  all  the  more  strongly 
if  misfortunes  befall  the  object  of  its  choice.  Rather 
childish  all  this,  perhaps;  but  with  the  sweet  frag- 
rance of  eternal  3'outh  about  it. 

After  loyalty  comes  intelligence,  brain  force, — all 
one's    faculties    employed    in    the    wise    application    of 


AUGUST,  1914

means  to  ends ;  ami  with  it  a  joyful  recognition  of  the 
immense  importance  of  superior  brains  accompanied 
by  honesty,  in  the  successful  government  of'  this,  our 
world.  People  think  intelligence  comes  by  nature;  it 
does  not,  except  as  a  chance-sown  seed,  but  like  other 
valuable  plants,  calls  for  care,  frequent  watering  and 
training  to  produce  its  perfect  fruit  and  do  its  most 
beneficent  work. 

Lastly  lo^'e.  Note  the  paste  jewel  that  often  passes 
for  it,  but  the  love  that  "beareth  all  things,  believeth 
all  things,  endureth  all  things;"  and  as  it  matures, 
embraces  family,  friends,  country  and  finally  the  whole 
world  in  its  scope.  (Yes,  and  even  its  personal 
enemies,  if  such  declare  themselves.)  "He  drew  a 
circle  and  shut  me  out,"  says  the  poet;  "I  drew  a 
larger   one   and   took   him   in." 

Now  sisters,  look  around  at  the  women  whose  de- 
votion, courage,  faith,  loyalty,  intelligence  and  love 
have  built  this  splendid  edifice,  and,  as  I  rejoice  with 
you  at  its  completion,  my  mind  goes  back  to  an  in- 
cident of  my  early  youth  which  made  a  strong  im- 
pression upon  me,  with  which  I  will  conclude  this 
rather   rambling  talk. 

I  was  visiting  the  cathedral  of  St.  Paul's  in  London, 
the  greatest  work  of  England's  greatest  architect.  Sir 
Christopher  Wren.  The  guide  took  us  first  to  a  very 
plain  tomb,  without  ornament  or  engraved  euloglum, 
just  the  name,  and  dates  of  birth  and  death — and  these 
words  inscribed  on  the  stone,  Si  monumentum  requiris 
circumspice.  (If  you  are  seeking  his  monument,  look 
around  you ! ) 

So,  as  I  look  around  me  at  this  triumph  of  their 
faith  and  see  so  many  of  our  spiritual  builders  still 
among  us,  (on  to  Mrs.  Lobingier,  without  whose  bril- 
liant leadership  I  feel  quite  sure  that  we  should  not 
be  meeting  together  here  on  this  day  of  days),  I  echo 
with  a  full  heart,  the  grand  old  motto  of  the  St.  Paul 
memorial:  Si  monumentum  requiris  circumspice!

The  CLUBWOMAN 


HIGHLAND  PARK  EBELL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  George  F.  Cook,  Press  Chairman 


Vacation  days   afford   an   opportunity  for   reflection. 

District,  State  and  Biennial  conventions  are  past 
history  and  the  "Spiritual  Force  of  Understanding" 
and  "Education  for  Peace"  have  been  thoughtfully 
considered. 

A  lasting  benefit  has  been  derived  from  contact 
with  clubwomen  from  all  over  the  world.  The  com- 
ing year  will  mark  an  advance  in  purposeful  effort 
as  an  outgrowth  from  this  stimulating  contact. 

Among  the  great  number  of  brilliant  women  at 
the  Biennial  convention  was  Ida  Clyde  Clark,  well- 
known  writer,  whose  new  book,  "Women  of  1924," 
receive  dfavorable  comment.  It  is  a  record  of 
women's    achievements.      She   says: 

"One  of  the  significant  tendencies  of  the  day  is 
toward  a  wider  recognition  of  the  achievements  of 
women,"  and  one  of  the  objects  of  the  book  is  to  place 
in  permanent  form  an  accurate  record  of  women's  part 
in^making  the  world   a  better  place  in  which  to  live. 

The  General  Federation  motto,  "Strength  United  Is 
Stronger,"   is  well  chosen. 

Highland  Park  Ebell  Club,  along  with  others  of 
that  name,  honored  Dr.  Adrian  Ebell,  the  eminent 
scholar  who  planned  to  organize  in  all  countries  chap- 
ters for  the  study  of  the  Arts  and  Sciences  by  women, 
thus  fitting  them  to  fill  a  worthy  place  in  the  world's 
great  affairs.  The  first  chapter  was  organized  in  Oak- 
land, California,  in  1876,  and  is  the  mother  club  in 
whose  wise  steps  and  ways  many  worthy  daughters 
follow. 

The  Highland  Park  Ebell  Club  meets  each  Tuesday 
from  October  to  May,  inclusive,  the  regular  meetings 
being  held  in  the  morning,  with  sections  for  study  in 
the  afternoon.  A  fifth  Tuesday  occurring  in  the  month, 
a  program  and  tea  are  held  in  the  afternoon  instead 
of  the  regular  morning  session. 

Board  meetings,  including  those  of  the  board  of 
directors  and  the  executive  committee,  are  held  on 
the  Mondays  preceding  the  first  and  third  Tuesday  of 
each  month.  The  officers  include  a  president,  first  and 
second  vice-presidents,  recording  secretary,  corres- 
ponding secretary,  treasurer  and  general  curator. 

A  monthly  luncheon  is  served  on  the  first  Tuesday 
in  the  month  with  the  Literature  section  following. 
Cafeteria  luncheons  are  served  on  other  Tuesdays, 
with  sections  following. 

The  study  sections  include  Literature,  Art,  Music, 
Drama,  Bible,  Shakespeare,  Birds  and  Flowers,  and 
History  and  Landmarks,  and  one  of  the  most  popular 
sections  is  the  Rambler  section. 

One  of  the  favorite  places  visited  frequently  during 
the  year  is  the  Southern  California  Home  for  Aged 
Women.  Mrs.  Samuel  Weston  Hastings,  curator  of 
the  section,  radiates  sunshine  and,  with  her  followers, 
is  gladly  welcomed  there.  At  Thanksgiving  time  the 
club  members  carry  a  generous  supply  of  canned  fruits 
and  jellies  to  them  and  also  furnish  a  good  program 
and  ice  cream  and  cake.  At  Christmas  time,  large 
tarletan  stockings  are  filled  to  overflowing  with 
sweetmeats  and  a  greeting  card  accompanies  each 
one.  There  are  always  enough  to  supply  this  home 
with  its  forty  inmates,  and  one  or  two  other  homes. 

Again  at  Easter  tokens  of'  the  season,  with  ap- 
propriate greetings,  bring  gladness  to  their  hearts. 
The  elderly  folks  look  forward  eagerly  to  the  parties 
and  entertainments  given  by  this  enthusiastic  section. 
The  last  one  of  the  year  was  a  children's  party.  The 
ladies  of  the  club  met  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  Hastings, 
where  they  donned  apparel  of  little  folks  and  then 
went  in  a  body  to  the  home,  to  the  great  delight  of 
the  aged  ladies.     A  suitable  program  of  readings  and 


songs  was  given,  the  "children"  alternating  with  the 
members  of  the  home.  Ice  cream,  home  made  cake 
and  candies  were  served  to  all  by  the  clubwomen. 

Canyon  hikes  and  picnic  dinners  are  also  a  part  of 
this  section's  alluring  program.  The  fourth  Wednes- 
day in  the  month  is  the  usual  day  for  Rambler  outings. 

During  Christmas  week  Mrs.  Hastings  entertains 
elaborately  for  her  "children,"  who  aff'ectionately  call 
her  "mother."  Mrs.  E.  B.  Machin  is  the  able  assistant 
curator. 

One  of  the  new  departments  instituted  by  Mrs. 
Harry  Louis  Stroh,  president  of  Highland  Park  Ebell 
Club,  is  a  Courtesy  committee,  the  members  of  which 
call  upon  the  sick  and  troubled,  or  send  flowers  or 
notes   of   sympathy. 

Tlie  section  leaders  or  ciirators  have  furnished  at- 
tractive sessions  throughout  the  year,  beginning  with 
the  first  section  of  each  month,  that  of  Literature, 
which  Mrs.  C.  W.  Mattison  has  made  especially  inter- 
esting. The  Art  section,  alternating  with  Music,  fol- 
lows. The  curators  of  the  Art  section  are  Mrs.  Nell 
Brooker  Mayhew  and  Miss  Esther  Crawford,  while 
Mrs.  Harry  E.  Fisher  heads  the  Music  section.  Ameri- 
can music  from  its  beginning  has  been  studied  and 
recitals  have  been  given  illustrating  Mrs.  Fisher's 
lectures.  The  curators  of  the  Art  section  are  both 
well  known  Los  Angeles  artists  and  have  given  rare 
opportunities  of'  visiting  studios  of  artists.  Miss  Wini- 
fred Rouzee  has  given  impressive  talks  before  the 
Bible  section,  of  which  Mrs.  Mary  D.  Howard  and 
Mrs.  W.  H.  Featherston  are  curators.  Mrs.  A.  B. 
Wilson  and  Mrs.  E.  M.  Kromer  have  acted  as  curators 
for  the  Bird  and  Flower  section.  Many  birds  have 
been  studied  and  in  every  case  the  talks  have  been 
illustrated  with  the  skins  of  the  birds.  The  club  is 
fortunate  in  having  as  a  member  and  past  president 
Mrs.  Harriet  Williams  Myers,  well-known  authority 
on  birds,  and  author  of  a  splendid  book  called  "West- 
ern Birds."  Mrs.  Myers  is  both  District  and  General 
Federation  chairman  of  Birds  and  Flowers,  and  has 
been  recently  made  president  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Audubon    Society. 

Mrs.  R.  W.  Snell,  professional  reader  and  drama- 
tist, has  made  the  Drama  section  unusually  attractive. 
Mrs.  C.  W.  Foote,  Shakespeare  student,  has  assisted 
the  members  of  that  section  to  understand  better  the 
Shakesperean  plays  and  theater. 

Miss  Mabel  Guinn,  curator  of  History  and  Land- 
marks section,  has  aroused  an  interest  in  California's 
early   history. 

The  club  means  so  much  to  the  members  and  the 
community  that  activities  will  be  eagerly  welcomed 
after  an  interim  of  rest. 


AMERICAN  UNIVERSITY 
STUDY  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  K.  Freeland,  President 

The  American  University  Study  Club  is  a  small 
social  and  study  club  meeting  on  the  second  and  fourth 
Tuesdays  in  the  month. 

This  year  we  have  made  a  study  of  the  Shakes- 
pearean histories  with  the  contemporaneous  and  con- 
necting English   history. 

We  have  membership  in  the  Needlework  Guild  and 
each  year  make  a  Christmas  contribution  to  the  old 
people   at   the   county  farm. 

We  anticipate  a  pleasant  and  profitable  year  under 
the  leadership  of  our  new  president,  Mrs.  J.  B.  Grim.

PLAYER  PIANOS 

— now  shovTD  for  the  first  time. 
These  improvements  embrace  great 
advances  in  motor  and  pedalling

crease in  tone  volume  possibilities 
and  in  ease  of  pedalling.  So  eas-

out  noticeable    effort. 

The  same  beautiful  singing  tone 
and  other  virtues  characteristic  of 
Starr  instruments  distinguish  these 
new  models. 


Be  sure  to  investigate  this  greatly 
advanced  type  of  player  piano  be-

HAT  IS  L.  A.  SERVICE? 


IT  is  not  ordinary  barter  in  merchandise, 
like  a  grocery  or  department  store.  For 
you  can  patronize  a  merchant  or  not,  as  you 
wish ;  and  the  merchant  can  refuse  to  sell 
to  you  if  he  so  desires  or  may  close  his  es- 
tablishment entirely,  at  his  own  conven- 
ience. 

Not  so  with  L.  A.  SERVICE. 

Between  a  gas  and  electric  utility  and  its 
patrons  there  e.xists  a  relationship  of  mu- 
tual interest  and  responsibility.  The  util- 
ity company  must  serve  you  continuously, 
at  your  command,  subject  to  the  supervi- 
sion of  your  representative,  the  State  Rail- 
road Commission,  and  at  prices  established 
as  fair  by  the  Commission's  experts. 

The  consumer,  on  his  part,  has  at  least  a 
moral  obligation  to  see  that  the  utility  re- 
ceives the  square  deal  necessary  to  support 
the  perfect  service  that  is  demanded. 

L.  A.  SERVICE  appreciates  the  patronage 
and  co-operation  accorded  by  the  public  in 
the  past,  and  assures  its  consumers  that 
adequate  provision  is  being  made  to  main- 
tain a  high  standard  of  service  in  the  face 
of  continued  heavy  demands.

The  CLUBPFOMAN 


CATHOLIC  WOMAN'S  CLUB 


By   Mrs.   E.   H.   Jacobs,  Press   Chairman 

The  Catholic  Woman's  Club  has  just  closed  a  very 
successl'ui  year,  and  Miss  Margaret  Phillipson,  our 
new  president,  is  very  busy  with  her  board  of  direc- 
tors and  various  committees,  including  the  Auxiliary 
and  Business  Women's  section,  in  planning  for  the 
coming  year,  and  with  the  victories  of  the  past  to  in- 
spire us,  we  are  looking  forward  to  accomplish  bigger 
and   better  things  next  year. 

Many  new  features  will  be  introduced.  Mrs.  D. 
Joseph  Coyne,  first  vice-president,  and  curator  of 
sections,  has  planned  for  all  sections  to  meet  on  the 
same  day,  the  second  and  fourth  Wednesdays  of  each 
month,  with  luncheon  at  noon. 

Each  luncheon  will  be  presided  over  by  a  section, 
who  will  act  as  hostesses,  and  speakers  of  prominence 
will   be  present  on  each  occasion. 

The  various  sections  include  French,  Spanish,  Art 
and  Travel,  History  and  Landmarks,  Literature  and 
Drama,  Child,  Public  and  Indian  Welfare;  Interna- 
tional Relations,  American  Citizenship,  Conserva- 
tion, Civics,  Current  Events,  Motion  Pictures  and 
Parliamentary  Law. 

The  first  luncheon  will  be  on  Indian  Welfare,  and 
an  appropriate  luncheon  and  program  has  been  ar- 
ranged. 

Many  dinner  dances  and  car  parties  have  been 
planned  to  be  given  at  various  times,  a  bazaar  dur- 
ing the  holiday  season,  and  a  children's  party,  and 
musicales  by  the  choral  section,  as  has  been  the  regu- 
lar custom  each  year. 

The  program  chairman,  Mrs.  Nicholas  Devereaux, 
has  some  rare  treats  in  store  for  us,  and  will  at  all 
times  give  us  the  very  best  talent  and  artists  avail- 
able. 

Our  opening  program  will  be  a  reception,  and 
music  will  be  furnished  by  the  Chapter  Trio. 

The  new  club  year  promises  much  in  the  fulfillment 
of'  a  higher  cultural  standard,  with  better  artists,  bet- 
ter lecturers,  and  better  programs. 


BUSINESS      AND      PROFESSIONAL      WOMAN'S 

SECTION 

By  Mrs.   Stacia  M.   Hart 

During  the  very  interesting  and  happy  first  year  of 
club  life  of  the  Business  and  Professional  Woman's 
Section  of  the  Catholic  Woman's  Club,  which  has  just 
closed,  very  ambitious  but  earnest  plans  were  inaugu- 
rated for  what  is  hoped  will  be  a  substantial  and  en- 
during department  for  the  Catholic  business  and  pro- 
fessional woman. 

The  bi-weekly  dinners  which  have  been  a  part  of 
our  club  life,  will  be  continued,  having  as  a  dinner 
guest  some  able  man  or  woman  to  address  us  on  a 
topic  of  mutual  interest.  During  the  ensuing  year  it 
will  further  be  endeavored  to  have  a  report  and  dis- 
cussion at  each  meeting  on  some  current  matter  of 
civic   or   legislative   importance. 

With  the  increase  in  membership,  an  endeavor  will 
be  made  to  promote  the  exchange  of  business  court- 
esies between  members  whenever  possible ;  with  this 
in  mind  a  committee  will  be  named  with  whom 
notices  may  be  left  of  any  known  desirable  vacancies 
for  positions — the  names  of  those  desiring  to  make  a 
change  and  who  are  available  for  positions,  as  well 
as  any  further  business  announcements  which  any 
member  may  desire  to  have  made  to  the  club.  In 
this  manner  it  is  felt  that  in  addition  to  the  benefits 
to  be  derived  socially  and  intellectually,  a  member- 
ship in  this  section  may  be  of  mutual  business  benefit 
to  our  business  and  professional  women. 

The  delightful  social  success  of  our  closing  dinner- 
dance  of  last  season  has  prompted  us  to  include  a 
series  of  dinner-dances  as  a  part  of  our  social  life  for 
the  forthcoming  season;  occasional  evenings  of  bridge 
or  informal  social  affairs  will  also  be  planned  for  our 
members  and  friends. 

As  an  expression  of  appreciation  of  the  manifold 
benefits  to  be  derived  from  a  membership  in  this  sec- 
tion of  the  club,  it  has  been  decided  by  the  members 
to  establish  as  a  worthy  objective  for  the  succeding 
years  the  accomplishment  of  some  tangible  good  for 
the  less  fortunate  business  girl,  than  which  there  is 
no  more  worthy  motive.  May  the  endeavor  be  blessed 
with  success ! 


NEWHALL  WOMAN'S   CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Nina  B.  Wright,  Press  Chairman 

On  Wednesday,  June  18,  the  Newhall  Woman's 
Club  held  their  last  meeting  of  the  year.  After  an 
interesting  program  of  home  talent,  consisting  of  read- 
ings, singing  and  piano  solos,  the  new  officers  were 
installed.  Mesdames  Christine  Woodard,  president; 
Allie  Carr,  re-elected  as  vice  president;  Mary  Pen- 
horwood,  recording  secretary;  Millie  Harker,  re- 
elected corresponding  secretary;  M.  Evelyn  Kee,  civic 
chairman;  Aramantha  Thibaudeau,  educational  chair- 
man; A.  Lane,  social  chairman;  Walton  Young,  treas- 
urer. Two  new  sections  were  created,  that  of 
Mother's  Bureau,  over  which  Mrs.  J.  C.  Haskell  will 
preside,  and  that  of  the  Press,  which  will  be  conducted 
by  the  outgoing  president. 

The  members  of  the  Educational  Section  enter- 
tained their  husbands  with  cards,  dance,  and  supper 
on  the  night  of  June  20,  at  the  H.  W.  Balestier  place, 
located  in  Mint  Canyon. 

During  the  three  Rodeo  days  in  Newhall,  July  4, 
5  and  6,  the  Newhall  Woman's  Club  conducted  a  re- 
freshment stand,  the  proceeds  to  go  towards  the  build- 
ing of  the  new  club  house.  Mrs.  Bailey-Taylor  had 
charge  of  this  affair.  On  the  evening  of'  the  Fourth,  a 
dance  was  given,  also  for  the  benefit  of  the  club, 
Mrs.   Haskell   acting  as  chairman. 

One  of  the  happiest  features,  perhaps  in  the  club's 


yearly  life,  was  the  helping  to  entertain  four  hundred 
Biennial  guests  at  Memory  Garden,  San  Fernando,  on 
June  7,  Play  Daj'.  Newhall  Club  was  one  of  the 
fourteen  clubs  included  as  Valley  Day  hostess.  It  is 
Eruly  a  very  romantic  spot,  as  place  associated  with 
the  early  chivalrous  Dons,  linked  with  the  serious  life 
of  the  Padres,  and  of  whom  the  world  is  talking  to- 
day. 

And  to  give  the  welcome  visitors  a  keener  feeling 
and  a  real  significance  of  the  occasion,  members  of 
the  Newhall  Woman's  Club  put  on  their  brightest 
Spanish  costumes  of  silk  and  lace,  and  not  forgetting 
the  high  comb,  over  which  was  draped  the  beautiful 
lace  mantilla.  Neither  were  their  complexions  over- 
looked, for,  after  the  dusky  powder  and  rouge  were 
applied,  they  looked  the  picture  of  the  real  Castilian, 
much  to  the  wonderment  and  amusement  of  the  de- 
lighted  visitors. 

The  five  ladies  from  Newhall  who  were  appointed 
to  assist  at  this  festive  board,  and  "who  so  graciously 
portrayed  the  dear  old  Spanish  type,  were  Mesdames 
Woodard,   Young,    Haskell,   Penhorwood    and    Suraco. 

The  president,  as  delegate,  attended  every  session 
but  one  of  the  Biennial  Convention. 

In  appreciation  of  work  and  ef'fort  on  the  part  of 
the  retiring  president,  a  beautiful  gift  was  presented 
to  her  by  Mrs.  Penhorwood  in  behalf  of  the  club. 

Regular  meetings  have  adjourned  until  the  second 
Wednesday   in    September.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


WEDNESDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Orla  D.  Spray 


Perhaps  no  club  in  the  Los  Angeles  District  ob- 
served "Buy  a  Picture"  week  so  seriously  as  the 
Wednesday  Morning  Club.  The  fact  is  they  took  it 
twice  as  seriously  as  most  clubs  because,  instead  of 
buying  one  they  bought  two  pictures,  both  by  noted 
California  artists.  Catherine  Leighton's  "Desert 
Bloom,"  and  the  other  one  of  Wendt's  typical  Cali- 
fornia landscapes  embodying  the  romance  of  early 
California   days   in   its   Mission   suggestion. 

That  nearly  every  member  wears  a  Federation 
emblem  is  due  to  the  fact  that  it  has  furnished  several 
chairmen  to  the  district  for  this  important  office. 

Club  house  extension  is  an  oft-repeated  story  in 
the  annals  of'  club  history,  and  is  chiefly  interesting  to 
those  who  by  their  efforts  finance  the  undertaking. 
The  four  hundred  members  of  this  club  will  enjoy 
the  annual  club  breakfast  this  fall  in  a  new  $11,000 
dining  room,  which  is  the  summer  addition  to  the 
club  plant. 

Social  affairs  during  the  summer  keep  up  interest 
in  the  club  that  is  apt  to  wane  during  the  vacation 
season.  Chief  among  these  were  the  all-day  "Seaside 
Frolic"  at  the  Hermosa  Beach  summer  home  of  Mrs. 
Olive  Bowen,  and  a  Garden  Party  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  John  Hokom  in  Cucurne  avenue,  Los  Angeles. 
Other  attractions  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  J.  C. 
Calhoun  and  Mrs.  Hector  N.  Zahn  are  Bridge  and 
Mah  Jongg  parties,  which  will  complete  the  summer 
entertainment  features  and  add  materially  to  the 
club  house  building  fund. 

Mrs.   Harold  W.   Bailey  will  this  year   be   the  first 


officer  in  the  Wednesday  Morning  Club.  Having 
filled  most  of  the  offices  in  the  club  during  the  many 
years  she  has  been  a  member,  she  is  well  qualified 
for  this  honor  and,  while  being  one  of  the  younger 
members,  yet  is  old  in  club   experience. 

The  club  will  open  its  winter  season  in  October, 
with  the  following  sections,  which  are  f'urnished  free 
to  any  members  who  care  to  take  advantage  of  them, 
with  yearly  dues  at  $7.50.  The  Shakespeare  and 
Music  sections  meet  every  Wednesday  except  the 
first.  The  reading  and  discussion  of  Shakespeare's 
works  cultivate  original  thought  and  leads  to  a  bet- 
ter understanding  of  the  characters,  philosophy  and 
ethical  value  of  each  play.  The  Music  section's  study 
includes  sight  reading,  correct  breathing,  voice  plac- 
ing. They  also  give  many  pleasant  hours  to  the 
"shut-ins"   of  Los   Angeles. 

The  English  section,  emphasizing  correct  pronuncia- 
tion, followed  by  a  half-hour  book  review,  by  local 
writers,  meets  twice  a  month. 

The  Drama  section,  Spanish,  Parliamentary  Usage, 
Current  Events  and  Public  Welfare  and  Rambler 
section  complete  the  varied  educational  advantages  of- 
fered to  members. 

The  Wednesday  Morning  Club  challenges  any  club 
in  the  State  Federation  to  furnish  the  section  attrac- 
tions led  by  the  highest  priced  first  class  instructors, 
for  a  similar  annual  dues  rate  of  $7.50.  The  club 
would  like  to  hear  from  other  subscribers  of'  The 
Clubwoman  who  feel  that  they  can  offer  equal  or 
more  in  an   educational   way  to  their  members.

REDONDO  BEACH  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Blanche  Friend  Austin 


The  Woman's  Club  house  of  Redondo  Beach,  like 
many  others  in  Southern  California,  is  done  up  in 
curl  papers  these  days,  awaiting  the  Fall,  when  it  will 
come  forth  all  groomed  up  for  the  new  year  of 
activity.  But  grooming  costs  money,  and  so  fre- 
quently the  club  house  comes  out  of  its  curl  papers 
and  its  negligee  and  is  the  background  for  some  sort 
of  entertainment  that  will  bring  in  the  nimble  dollars 
that  are  always  needed  to  begin  the  new  year  in  any 
well-regulated  family.  One  of  these  events  that 
stimulated  the  club  coffers  to  some  extent  was  the 
dinner  given  recently  to  which  the  public  of  Redondo 
Beach   responded   splendidly. 

Just  before  going  into  retirement  for  the  summer 
the  club  greeted  a  large  party  of  Biennial  delegates 
on  the  plavfday  of  the  convention,  and  letters  com- 
ing back  from  many  who  spent  the  day  in  Redondo 
Beach  go  far  towards  proving  how  successful  the 
play  day  party  was  there.  The  city  of  Redondo 
Beach,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  the  Lions 
Club  all  contributed  to  the  entertainment;  and  club 
husbands  and  sons  and  other  club  kin  contributed 
their  cars,  and  themselves  as  drivers,  to  go  to  Los 
Angeles  and  bring  the  guests  down.  After  a  beauti- 
fully-appointed luncheon  in  the  club  house,  the  guests 
v^ere  motored  over  to  the  next  visiting  place,  at  San 
Pedro.  Place  cards  at  dinner  were  souvenirs  fea- 
turing the  beach  and  the  sea. 

With  the  retirement  of  Mrs.  P.  S.  Venable,  one  of 
the  most  efficient  and  sympathetically  understanding 
presidents  the  club  has  ever  had,  Redondo  Beach 
women  are  welcoming  their  new  president.  Miss  lone 
Gale,  who,  by  the  way,  is  sister  of  that  brilliant  Times 
cartoonist,  E.  W.  Gale.  Without  tramping  down  any 
of  the  traditional  landmarks  of'  club  thought  and 
ideal.  Miss  Gale  is  going  to  put  into  working  use  some 
new  ideas  and  plans.  She  has  an  unique  endurance 
record    in    club    service    as    chairman    of    the    Drama 


department,  and  will  still  keep  her  hand  at  the  helm 
of  that  department  of  the  club  work.  Others  ready  to 
take  up  the  official  duties  for  the  new  year  are:  First 
vice-president,  Mrs.  P.  C.  Ridgley;  second  vice-presi- 
dent, Mrs.  L.  B.  Stern;  recording  secretary,  Mrs.  R. 
S.  Hoyt;  corresponding  secretary,  Mrs.  T.  A.  Gould; 
directors,  Mrs.  P.  S.  Venable,  Mrs.  J.  R.  Richardson, 
Mrs.  Ellis  T.  Yarnell,  and  Mrs.  Gabriel  Johnstone. 
The  president's  appointments  have  not  all  been  made, 
but  Mrs.  Ward  Ridgley  is  to  be  press  chairman,  Mrs. 
J.  E.  Duffey  will  continue  as  chairman  of  the  Study 
department,  Mrs.  Margaret  Frick  as  chairman  of  the 
Book  department,  and  Mrs.  C.  H.  Turner  of  the  Par- 
liamentary class. 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Redondo  Beach  has  en- 
riched the  social  and  civic  background  of  Redondo. 
The  really  remarkable  work  accomplished  by  the 
Junior  auxiliary  has  been  a  sort  of  a  record  for 
other  clubs  in  Southern  California  to  live  up  to.  Mrs. 
T.  A.  Gould,  the  girls'  advisor  last  year,  was  presi- 
dent of  the  mother  club  when  the  Juniors  were  or- 
ganized, and  they  have  always  been  her  first  thought 
and  care.  Mothers  of  Redondo  Beach  boys  are  just 
as  gratef'ul  for  the  Junior  club  as  are  the  mothers  of 
the  members  themselves,  for  it  has  created  a  new 
social  standard  for  the  younger  set  of  the  beach.  The 
Juniors  take  for  their  serious  work  the  responsibility 
of  making  layettes  for  the  little  children  at  the  Gen- 
eral Hospital  in  Los  Angeles,  and  each  year  when 
summer  comes,  and  gift-giving  is  not  so  active  as 
at  the  Christmas  season,  they  make  a  call  at  the  hos- 
pital with  their  completed  work,  and  take  foods  and 
jellies  and  toys  for  the  little  ones  too. 

The  club  is  distinguished  by  having  for  a  member 
a  daughter  of  the  first  woman's  club  of  America,  the 
Minerva  Club,  organized  in  New  Harmony,  Indiana, 
in  1859.  Mrs.  C.  L.  Pelham,  the  daughter  of  the  club, 
possesses  one  of  the   club   emblems,   a   cross  of*  laurel

wood,  with  gold  mounting,  on  which  is  inscribed  the 
club  name  and  date.  Club  women  who  aspire  to 
office  in  these  days  will  look  back  with  horror  on  the 
officeholding  of  the  Minerva  Club.  The  officers  were 
elected  for  six  weeks  and  were  expected  to  write  an 
inaugural  address  on  taking  office  and  a  valedictory 
upon  retiring. 

The  new  year  for  the  Woman's  Club  of  Redondo 
Beach  beckons  alluringly.  The  stage  is  set  for  a 
perfect  performance  of  the  year's  work,  and  when 
the  curtain  goes  up  on  the  first  Monday  in  October, 
all  will  be  perfect  in  their  parts  to  be  played  the 
year  through. 

WOMAN'S   CLUB   OF  ORANGE 

By   Katherlne   E.   Oliver 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Orange  is  knowing  a 
notable  renaissance.  Always,  heretofore,  conserva- 
tive, with  the  placid  composure  of  self'-satisfaction 
(with  the  exception  of  a  few  ambitious  and  restless 
souls),  and  proceeding  mainly  along  the  pleasant 
lines  of  self-culture  and  entertainment,  a  new  element 
has  been  introduced  the  past  year  into  the  club 
body.  That  popular  expedient  of  modern  surgery — 
infusion — has  been  employed  with  amazing  effect — 
the  infusion  of  "new  blood,"  and  a  new  objective — 
an  objective  now  nearing  realization — a  new  $18,000 
club  home. 

Gifted  and  hard-working  presidents  of  the  past 
have  sought  for  the  club  this  revival,  but  with  small 
avail.  A  five-foot  pi<esident  from  the  ranks  of 
housewife  and  mother,  learned  in  efficiency  by  the 
successful  management  of  a  young  family,  a  husky 
husband  and  a  charming  home,  was  required  to  put 
over  the  purposes  of  the  insurgents,  with  the  result 
that  the  year,  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  L.  P. 
Damewood,  has  seethed  with  constructive  effort  and 
profitable  results  in  all  lines  of  club  activity,  while 
the  new  club  house,  one  of  th  most  attractive  and 
best  equipped  in  the  Southland,  according  to  present 
progress,  will  be  ready  for  dedication  within  a  few 
weeks. 

The  president  says  it  was  the  New  Blood  that  did 
it.  The  club  members,  new  and  former,  declare  it 
to  have  been  the  unremitting  push,  pull  and  pep  of 
the  president.  So  there  you  have  it,  a  cordial  entente, 
of  the  most  delightful  and  optimistic  quality,  and 
one  spelling  a  fine  co-operation  and  progress  for  the 
future. 

Other  things  have  been  accomplished  besides  the 
club  house.  The  year  has  brought  f'orth  fine  virile 
programs,  to  which  many  gifted  people  outside  of 
the  town  have  generously  contributed  but,  better 
yet,  in  which  the  home  people  of  gifts  have  had  part 
with  mutual  pleasure  to  their  audience  and  them- 
selves. In  fact,  it  has  been  a  year  of  mutual  dis- 
covery in  this  regard  to  such  an  extent  that  we  can 
recommend  it  to  other  clubs  as  a  very  useful  service — 
these  programs  in  which  the  home  people  who  sing 
and  play  and  talk  are  given  cordial  and  appreciative 
exploitation.  And  it  will  be  a  surprise,  too,  how 
many  there   are   of   them. 

The  various  study  sections  have  felt  the  stimulus 
of  new  membership  and  have  pursued  with  new  en- 
grossment their  elected  themes.  For  the  purposes  of 
the  club  house  fund,  the  members  were  divided  into 
units,  each  unit  pledging  to  raise  $100  toward  that 
end,  and  several  hundred  dollars  more  than  the 
pledged  sum  has  been  netted  by  the  energetic  and 
cheerful   effort  of  these   units. 

The  interests  of  the  disabled  soldiers,  so  dear  to 
the  mother  heart  of  the  club  woman,  have  been  given 
continual  attention.  A  few  programs  of  unalloyed 
fun  have  been  thrown  into  the  club  schedule  for 
good   measure   and    in  order   to    afford   that   indispen- 


sable element  of  nourishment  for  a  healthy  working 
body. 

With  all  this  practical  activity,  the  cultural  stand- 
ards of  the  club  have  in  no  way  suffered,  but  rather 
been  wholesomely  stimulated,  the  latest  enterprise  of 
the  club  along  such  lines  being  the  organization  of  a 
woman's  chorus  under  woman  leadership. 

With  the  club  precedents  permitting  of  but  one 
term  of  office  for  even  the  best  of  presidents,  club 
activities  the  coming  year  are  under  the  direction  of 
a  new  but  not  untried  executive.  Under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  Clyde  Watson,  a  "seasoned"  club  woman, 
members  anticipate  a  continuance  of'  the  same  ener- 
getic and  progressive  policy  the  club  has  known  with 
such  excellent  effect,  the  past  year,  with  the  additional 
advantage  of  club  endeavor  prosecuted  under  the 
happiest  of  conditions. 


TUJUNGA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Jessie  B.  Jonderton,  Press   Chairman 

The  members  of  the  Tujunga  Woman's  Club,  and 
especially  those  who  were  so  active  during  the  past 
year  or  more,  and  so  successful  in  the  raising  of  funds 
for  the  new  club  home,  are  most  justly  proud  of  the 
results  of  their  labors.  A  $3200  stucco  building  is 
finished,  consisting  of  a  thirty-foot  square  assembly 
room,  dressing  room  with  modern  plumbing,  and  large 
kitchen  fairly  well  equipped.  The  assembly  room 
woodwork  and  paneling  is  finished  in  aluminum  gray, 
and  above  the  paneling,  which  reaches  half  way  to 
the  ceiling,  the  rough  plaster  is  prettily  mottled. 
There  is  a  fine  hardwood  floor  and  a  big  stone  fire- 
place. And  the  house  is  so  built,  should  it  become 
necessary — or  rather  when  it  becomes  necessary  for 
the  club  to  acquire  larger  quarters,  it  may  easily  be 
altered  into  a  bungalow  home.  The  lot  on  which  it 
stands  was  donated  by  Mr.  M.  V.  Hartranft  of'  Tu- 
junga, and  on  this  fine  property  there  is  but  the  one 
debt  of  $1200,  which  the  ladies  will  work  to  reduce 
as  rapidly  as  possible.  All  of  the  work  of  the  build- 
ing was  done  by  Tujunga  men,  and  much  of  it  was 
donated. 

The  club  is  fortunate  in  having  a  good  new  piano, 
and  Mr.  Fitzgerald,  at  whose  Los  Angeles  house  it 
was  bought,  presented  his  personal  check  for  $60  to- 
wards the  payment  bill.

The  installation  of  the  club  house  was  impressive, 
and  was  attended  by  representatives  from  all  of  the 
San  Fernando  Valley  clubs,   and  the  room  was  filled. 

A  large  silk  flag  was  presented  to  the  club  by  Mrs. 
Strong,  mother  of  the  retiring  president,  Mrs.  Nelson 
E.  Jones,  who  accepted  the  flag  for  the  club.  Mrs. 
Genevieve  Adams  gave  a  short  address  on  the  his- 
tory of  the  I'lag  and  what  it  stands  for.  A  short 
program  followed,  the  national  anthem  being  sung, 
and  piano  solos  by  Mrs.  Jonderton  given.  Refresh- 
ments followed,  and  addresses  by  the  different  presi- 
dent-guests in  the  room.  Many  were  the  compli- 
ments and  congratulations,  and  a  few  asked  most 
earnestly,  "How  did  you  do  it?  Tell  us."  And  first 
one  and  then  another  told  of  the  dances  and  the  din- 
ners and  the  donations.  But  it  was  quite  evident 
that  more  than  all  else  were  the  vigorous,  enthusi- 
astic, untiring  efforts  and  labors  of  the  building  com- 
mittee, and  many  other  members  of  the  Woman's 
Club.  We  do  not  claim  that  Tujunga  is  more  won- 
derful than  other  places.  We  leave  people  to  find 
that  out  for  themselves.  We  do  not  claim  that  our 
climate  inspires  to  unusual  effort  and  success,  or  that 
Tujunga  club  women  are  smarter  than  club  women 
elsewhere,  but — results  show.  What  we  did  you  can 
all  do,  ladies,  and  we  believe  that  many  left  us  after 
that  visit  with  the  thought  to  go  and  do  likewise. 

The  new  president,  Mrs.  Mark  W.  White,  appointed 
Mrs.  Mary  E.  Mills  as  Legislative  chairman,  and  it 
was  gratifying  to  learn  soon  al'ier  that  Mrs.  Charles 
H.  Toll,  the  Los  Angeles  District  president,  had  ap- 
pointed Mrs.  Mills  one  of  the  committee  of  three  mem- 
bers for  her  district  on  the  Legislative  committee. 


THE  WOMAN'S    CLUB   OF 
OWENSMOUTH 

By  Adah  R.  Bechtelheimer,  Corresponding  Secretary 
W^hen  we  were  asked  to  give  a  500-word  article  to 
The  Clubwoman,  telling  of  our  year's  work,  and  the 
happy  privilege  was  bestowed  on  me — I  felt  like  our 
president  must  feel  at  the  District  convention  when 
she  is  asked  to  give  her  yearly  report  in  two  minutes. 
So  much  to  say,  adn  so  little  space  or  time  to  say 
it  in. 

The  purpose  of  the  Owensmouth  Woman's  Club  is 
"to  promote  interest  in  intellectual  pursuits,  to  become 
a  center  for  broader  social  life  and  to  work  untiringly 
for  the  general  advancement  of  both  club  and  com- 
munity. It  is  a  great  privilege  to  be  a  club  mem- 
ber, for  what  the  club  as  a  whole  means  to  the  com- 
munity depends  upon  the  individual  members.  The 
club  is  now  ten  years  old,  and  has  Jived  up  to  its 
ideals.  Our  membership  has  gone  over  the  100 
mark,  and  our  meetings  the  past  year  under  the 
efficient    leadership    of    our    retiring    president,    Mrs. 


Lincoln  Hall,  have  been  miscellaneous  in  character 
and   enjoyable   and   profitable   for   all. 

In  the  early  part  of'  the  year  we  joined  the  General 
Federation  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  plans  for 
the  Biennial.  We  contributed  to  the  Japanese  relief, 
conducted  the  Red  Cross  membership  drive,  sent 
flowers  to  the  Soldiers'  Home  in  Sawteile,  subscribed 
to  John  S.  McGroarty's  "Golden  Scroll,"  donated  to 
the  building  fund  of  our  American  Legion,  and  to  the 
National  Federation   Home   in  Washington. 

A  club  chorus  was  formed  and  did  some  excellent 
work.  We  as  club  members  have  all  tried  to  keep  our- 
selves attuned  to  the  greatest  music  of  all  ages — har- 
mony with  others ;  to  keep  in  tune  and  in  time  with 
all — and  practice  the  Golden  Rule. 

One  of  the  outstanding  features  of  the  year's  work 
was  our  liberal  subscription  toward  a  new  school 
building  to  segregate  the  Mexican  from  our  white 
children  in  the  grammar  school. 

Our  Sunrise  Easter  Service  is  another  worth-while 
activity  and  provides  an  outdoor  service  for  the  San 
Fernando  Valley.  Easter  is  a  day  of  spiritual  joy, 
and  our  beautiful,  artistic  Greek  Theatre  affords  a 
wonderful   setting  for  this  annual   religious   service. 

During  the  year  we  have  had  many  delightful 
luncheons,  parties  and  other  social  meetings. 

The  greatest  thing  we  can  do  for  our  Heavenly 
Father  is  to  be  kind  to  some  of  His  other  children,  so 
at  the  holiday  time  we  gave  night  gowns  and  a  fruit 
shower  to  the  Florence  Crittenton  Home.  Since  the 
close  of  our  club  year,  our  philanthropy  chairman 
planned  a  canning  day,  at  which  time  175  quarts  of 
apricots  and  plums  wree  canned  for  the  same  institu- 
tion, which  is  our  particular  charity.  Later,  when 
the  peaches,  pear  and  grapes  are  ripe,  there  will  be 
other  canning  days — and  what  could  be  more  worth 
while?  What  we  do  for  ourselves  dies  with  us,  but 
what  we  do  for  the  less  fortunate  remains  and  is  im- 
mortal. 

We  believe  that  the  Reciprocity  Days  are  the  best 
way  to  strengthen  the  Federation  chain,  of  which 
each   club   is   a   link. 

We  are  thankful  for  and  appreciate  the  faithful 
service  of  the  District  chairmen,  who  bring  the  work 
of"  the  Federation  to  us.  We  look  forward  with 
pleasure  to  their  visits,  for  they  keep  us  in  touch 
with  what  other  clubs  are  doing,  and  their  help  is  an 
inspiration. 

We  believe  with  Mrs.  Burdette  that  "a  healthy 
debt  is  good  for  any  club,"  and  we  are  in  hopes  that 
our  long-planned-for  club  house  will  materialize  this 
year.  And  with  the  slogan  of  our  incoming  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Arthur  Hoefer,  "Every  member  get  a  mem- 
ber,"  our  club  is  bound  to  grow. 

May  the  new  club  year  be  abundant  in  new  joys 
and   re-awakened  happiness  for  you  all.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  EBELL  CLUB  OF  LONG  BEACH 


By  Edith  JV.  Van  de  Water,  President 


The  Ebell  of  Long  Beach  rejoices  in  a  year  of  study, 
■work  and  endeavor  along  many  lines — a  year  of 
friendly  feeling   and   co-opera-tion. 

Our  growth  in  membership  has  been  most  gratifying. 
Since  the  beginning  of  the  club  year  in  June,  we  have 
received  204  new  members — an  increase  of  23%.  The 
Ebell  belongs  to  the  District,  State  and  General  Fed- 
eration, and  endeavors  to  fulfill  its  obligations  to 
them  all.  Its  Biennial  quota  has  been  paid  in  full 
on  the  membership  listed  in  the  directory. 

The  president  attended  reciprocity  days  of  other 
clubs  whenever  possible,  and  everyone  of  the  presi- 
dent's councils,  and  has  felt  that  her  own  club  life 
was  enriched  and  her  efficiency  increased  by  the  con- 
tacts  made. 

The  extent  of  our  club's  participation  in  the  civic 
and  community  lif'e  is  measured  by  the  number  of  re- 
quests, which  come  to  us  for  the  Ebell's  influence.  The 
president  is  asked  to  serve  on  many  committees  and 
boards. 

The  matter  of  registration  of  voters  has  been 
stressed  at  almost  every  club  meeting,  and  a  deputy 
registrar  has  been  present  to  register  the  women,  in 
the  lobby,  on  numerous   afternoons. 

As  has  been  the  custom  for  years,  our  Social  Service 
Department  brought  in  from  the  county  farm  all  the 
old  ladies  who  could  come,  between  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas,  and  served  them  with  a  bountiful  chicken 
dinner,  followed  by  a  splendid  program.  During  the 
holiday  season,  a  group  of  women  went  out  to  the 
Psychopathic  ward  and  took  gifts  for  the  unfortu- 
nates there.  A  musical  program  was  furnished  by 
an  orchestra  from  Long  Beach,  and  the  women  were 
enthusiastic  over  it.  We  were  told  that  our  visit  is 
anticipated  through  all  the  year,  and  the  women  said 
we  gave   them  more   than   they   expected. 

Through  all  the  year,  it  has  been  the  endeavor  of 
Ebell's  administration  to  "follow  the  gleam"  of  prog- 
ress and  achievement  among  women.  And  so,  to  our 
long  maintained  departments  and  committees  of  Art, 
Travel,  Books  and  Current  Events,  Drama,  Home 
Economics,  Indian  Welfare,  Parliamentary  Law, 
Civics,  Legislature,  etc.,  we  have  added  others,  as  the 
need  arose.  Our  Department  for  the  study  of  the 
"Bible  as  Literature"  is  one  of  our  newer  ones,  and 
has  been  most  profitable,  and,  in  addition  to  our  own 
members,  ministers  of  all  denominations  have  had 
place   on  the   study  programs. 

That  we  might  come  to  know  something  more  of 
our  Southern  neighbor — Mexico — as  well  as  learn  to 
pronounce  the  names  of  our  city  streets,  our  various 
landmarks  and  places  of  interest,  and  those  other 
cities,  a  section  was  organized  for  the  study  of  Span- 
ish. Better  English  and  a  class  in  public  speaking 
are   receiving  attention,   also. 

The  weekly  club  programs  have  been  most  enjoy- 
able. Once  a  month,  an  earnest  study  program  has 
added  to  our  sympathetic  understanding  of  the  pres- 
ent-day problems  with  which  the  different  nations 
have  had  to  deal.  The  series  concludes  with  a  lec- 
ture on  International  Relations,  and  we  feel  that  we 
shall  have  made  a  real  contribution  to  the  cause  of 
peace. 

Our  dream  of  a  real  club  home  is  soon  to  be  real- 
ized, for  we  expect  to  turn  the  first  shovel  of  earth 
in  the  near  future,  on  our  $50,000  location,  for  our 
$140,000  club  house.     The  building  is  to  be  of  Span- 


ish architecture,  with  an  auditorium  seating  more  than 
twelve  hundred,  commodious  dining-rooms  and  kitch- 
ens, with  lounge,  patio,  class-rooms,  dressing  rooms, 
well  planned  stage  and  projection  rooms.'  On  our 
investment  of  $200,000,  we  can  easily  borrow  even 
more  than  we  shall  require  bankers  assure  us — for 
we  shall  have  in  cash  and  pledges,  almost  $60,000 
when  we  shall  need  it. 

To  make  money  for  our  building  fund,  the  club  is 
being  divided  into  sections  of  thirty,  each  section  to 
be  responsible  for  $1050  or  $35  per  capita.  One  sec- 
tion has  its  quota  entirely  subscribed,  but  will  work, 
also,  for  the  plan  included  not  only  money-raising,  but 
also  the  promotion  of  sociability  and  friendliness 
among  the  members. 

Perhaps  the  most  unique  project,  thus  f'ar,  has  been 
the  "Festive  Spring  Extravaganza,"  given  in  one  of 
the  beautiful  and  spacious  ocean-front  homes.  A 
charming  musical  program,  a  clever  one-act  play,  a 
Highland  dance  and  a  fashion  show,  with  Junior 
members  as  the  models,  wearing  beautiful  frocks  and 
hats  and  wonderful  furs,  furnished  by  the  merchants, 
made  an  evening's  entertainment  which  was  the  toast 
of  the  town.  With  refreshments  and  flowers,  the 
guests  felt  amply  repaid  for  their  nominal  admission, 
and  over  $300  went  to  the  credit  of  the  section. 

Thus,  through  the  year,  have  we  studied,  worked 
and  striven,  and  we  look  forward  with  happy  antici- 
pation toward  opening  our  next  year's  sessions  in  our 
own  home.

"WE  LIFT  UP  OUR  EYES  TO  THE  HILLS" 

By  Mrs.  F.   T.  Bicknell,  State  Chairman  Birds  and  Natural  Life 


Long  before  the  dawn  of  human  history  God  spoke 
through  Nature.  The  great  incidents  of  the  Bible 
were  staged  in  the  open — the  mountains — the  fields — 
the  sea.  Christ's  parables  were  of  the  "Out-of-Doors" 
— "The  birds  of  the  air  have  nests,"  "Consider  the 
lilies,"  "The  tree  is  known  by  his  fruit."  The  oldest 
living  thing  in  the  world  is  the  Sequoia — the  tree 
which,  if  we  could  understand  its  language,  could 
tell  of  the  ages  before  the  birth  of  Moses.  Tall, 
straight  and  symmetrical,  it  represents  the  standards 
of  our  government. 

Its  roots,  drawing  sustenance  from  the  soil,  repre- 
sent the  principles  of  justice  and  liberty,  upon  which 
rest  the  foundation  of  our  government.  Its  foliage, 
feathery  and  delicate,  is  typical  of  our  lofty  ideals. 

Its  branches,  like  arms  reaching  outward,  are  sym- 
bolical of  our  supplications  for  strength,  for  guidance 
and  the  light  of  peace. 

Its  longevity  is  prophetic  of  the  stability  and  endur- 
ance of  our  Free  Republic  of  the  people,  by  the  peo- 
ple, for  the  people. 

Nature's  living  emblems — the  trees,  the  birds,  the 
flowers,  are  in  the  world  for  a  purpose.  In  fulfilling 
that  purpose,  they  stamp  their  uplifting  influence  upon 
the  human  character. 

They  raise  the  standard  of'  human  thought  and 
awaken  an  inner  consciousness  to  the  higher  ideals. 
Many  of  our  operas  have  been  inspired  by  the  songs 
of  the  thrush  and  nightingale.  The  artist  seeks  the 
varied  plumage  of  the  bird  for  harmonious  colors. 
The  Biological  Survey  of  the  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  has  fully  established  the  economic 
value  of  our  birds.     Our  flowers  not  only  beautify  the 


earth;  but  many  possess  medicinal  and  commercial 
value.  Our  forests  supply  the  market  with  the  count- 
less uses  for  wood  and  as  out-door  recreation  centers, 
are  recognized  as  health  and  good  citizenship  builders 
to  the  overtaxed  human  brain,  the  exhausted  muscles 
of  the  wage  earner  and  the  eager,  impressionable 
American  youth.  "We  lift  up  our  eyes  to  the  hills" 
has  caught  a  new  depth  of  sincerity.  It  is  the  new 
call  to  the  upbuilding  of  the  world's  physical,  moral 
and  spiritual  well-being  through  the  healing  balm  of 
out-door  recreation  as  voiced  by  our  president. 

Conservation  of  all  resources,  nature's  and  man's, 
is  the  basis  of  industry.  Industry  the  basis  of  pros- 
perity. Prosperity  the  basis  of  progress.  Progress 
the  basis  of  education.  Education  the  basis  of  world 
citizenship. 

Nature  study  in  our  schools  revolutionizes  the 
child's  outlook  upon  life.  It  opens  a  new  world  of 
interest  and  beauty,  and  teaches  the  practical  lessons 
of  duty,  one  to  another.  The  more  Nature  lovers  we 
have  in  the  world,  those  who  find  sermons  in  stones, 
lessons  of  peace  and  comfort  in  the  "green  hills"  and 
primeval  forests,  the  less  contention  will  there  be 
among  men  and  the  less  demand  for  all  fire  arms  and 
war  weapons.  The  natural  born  savage  within  the 
human  breast,  will  be  superceded  by  the  peace-abid- 
ing man,  the  Sequoia  of  world  citizenship,  for  the 
perennial  heart  of'  youth  is  the  heritage  of  God's  out- 
of-doors. 

It  matters  not  how  imposing  the  structure.     If  it  is 
not  founded  upon   a  rock,  it  will  crumble. 
God  is  the  everlasting  rock! 
Nature  is  His  interpreter  and  healer!

SANTA  MONICA  BAY  WOMAN'S   CLUB 


By  Jeanette  Godkin  Barke 


Women  who  are  expanding  under  such  a  motto  as 
"Growth  Through  Service",  cannot  but  consider  it  a 
privilege.  The  beautiful  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's 
Clubhouse  is  a  monument  to  past  efforts,  while  the 
departments  and  sections  of  today  symbolize  the  ex- 
panding interests  and  potent  influence  of  womankind. 

Mrs.  N.  S.  Duckels  who  did  such  splendid  work 
last  year  as  Program  Chairman  is  now  President  and 
has  expressed  the  "earnest  desire  that  we  may  con- 
tinue our  mental,  moral  and  spiritual  growth,  and  that 
our  influence  may  continue  to  be  felt  throughout  the 
community." 

Her  policy  for  the  year  is  to  bring  to  greater  per- 
fection the  departments  and  sections  already  so  well 
organized  and  endeavor  to  add  "finishing  touches."  A 
lurking  desire  also  is  to  tip  the  scales  at  a  thousand 
members — thus  radiating  even  more  powerfully  the 
feminine  influence. 

Mondays  are  busy  days  at  Santa  Monica,  with  sec- 
tions meeting  in  the  morning,  luncheon  and  prominent 
speakers  provided  by  the  department  chairmen  at 
noon  and  later  the  regular  afternoon  programs,  ar- 
ranged with  a  view  of  carefully  balancing  educa- 
tional matters  with  those  of  cultural  development. 

A  glimpse  into  the  activities  of'  the  various  depart- 
ments will  indicate  the  tastes  of  the  members  and 
scope  of  the  work. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  Literature  Department, 
with  Mrs.  Frank  Van  Steenbergh  as  chairman,  will 
discuss  the  newest  in  religion,  social  education,  fic- 
tion, essays,  adventure  and  biography.  All  books 
which  the  foremost  critics  recommend  will  be  re- 
viewed. At  the  beginning  of  each  meeting  the  leader 
will  give  a  fifteen  minute  resume  of  every  variety  of 
new  book,  so  that  each  woman  can  choose  to  her  lik- 
ing any  favorite  type  of  reading.  Following  this, 
forty-five  minutes  is  allowed  for  the  book  of  the  day. 

The  Drama  Department  brings  to  its  members  the 
most  worth-while  plays  for  reading  and  discussion. 
With  the  Arts  and  Crafts  Department  greater  interest 
is  stimulated  in  all  branches  of  art,  not  only  the  cul- 
tural value  but  the  spiritual  side  of'  nature  and  life 
is  emphasized.  A  child  of  the  Arts  is  the.  Craft  De- 
partment, giving  instruction  in  bead-work,  the  making 
of  silk  and  velvet  flowers,  lamp  shades  and  other 
decorative  objects. 

This  year  in  the  Parliamentary  Law  Section,  Mrs. 
D.   G.   Stephens   will   again   call   her   "girls"   to   order. 


Under  her  dominating  personality,  this  department 
shows  an  ever  increasing  popularity  and  all  activities 
pertaining  to  public  affairs  are  referred  to  it.  Chair- 
men here  appointed  to  investigate  and  report  on  such 
subjects  as  American  citizenship,  international  rela- 
tions, conservation,  education,  legislation  and  civics. 
This  group  is  especially  fortunate  in  having  such  a 
leader  as  Mrs.  Stephens,  a  woman  of  great  vision,  one 
who  has  demonstrated  her  worth  by  such  works  as 
founding  the  Woman's  Parliament,  the  Los  Angeles 
Orphans  Home,  serving  as  a  director  for  the  Califor- 
nia School  for  Girls,  also  as  a  presidential  elector  for 
four  years  and  many  other  interests  too  numerous  to 
mention. 

Returned  travellers  are  given  the  opportunity 
through  the  Travel  Department  of  sharing  their  trips 
with  those  less  fortunate,  often  illustrating  with  ex- 
hibits and  slides.  This  department  also  aims  to  sug- 
gest f'ascinating  journeys  and  to  acquaint  the  mem- 
bers with  the  wonders  of  the  world. 

The  physical  welfare  of  the  members  is  an  im- 
portant part  of  club  work  and  is  ably  cared  for  by 
Mrs.  Priscilla  Drake.  Members  dress  in  smocks  and 
bloomers  and  after  the  exhilaration  of  folk  and  ball- 
room dancing  it  is  a  fitting  climax  to  pass  on  to  the 
chorus,  conducted  by  Madame  Sprotte,  who  gives  so 
graciously  of  her  time  and  talent  in  the  interest  of 
music.  This  department  also  includes  talks  and  dem- 
onstrations of  violin,  whistling,  pipe  organ,  reed  in- 
struments, harp,  piano  and  music  education. 

More  than  one  hundred  registered  in  the  Children's 
Chorus  last  year  and  met  Saturday  mornings,  directed 
vby  Mrs.  Pauline  Dainey.  Under  the  continued 
leadership  of  Mrs.  C.  J.  Mendenhall  even  greater  re- 
sults are  anticipated  for  the  coming  year,  in  the  way 
of  service  and  instilling  the  love  of  music  into  young 
hearts. 

Many  mothers  have  been  made  happy  and  babies 
have  thrived  under  the  care  of  the  Child  Welfare  De- 
partment conducted  by  Mrs.  W.  W.  Mattern  and  with 
a  competent  physician  always  in  attendance.  Each 
year  a  Baby  Conference  is  held  when  mothers  receive 
special  advice  for  undernourished  children.  This  de- 
partment is  not  only  for  poor  babies  but  cares  for  the 
great  middle  class  and  meets  throughout  the  year. 

During  the  club  year,  a  new  department  in  Child 
Psychology  was  organized,  hoping  to  interest  mothers 
in    a    better   understanding   of    the    child    mind.     This

The  CLUBPFOMJN 


department  is  to  be  developed  under  the  most  able 
leadership  of  Miss  Florence  Cowan,  who  specialized 
in  this  work   at  Columbia   University. 

Book  lovers  in  the  club  are  cared  for  by  Mrs.  Ethel 
G.  Westcott  who  has  seen  that  worth-while  books  are 
at  the  command  of  members.  A  nominal  charge  of 
five  cents  a  week  is  made,  the  money  forming  a  fund 
for   the   purchase   of  new   books. 

The  Junior  Auxiliary  typifies  the  spirit  of  Southern 
California,  as  do  all  young  sub-divisions,  clamoring 
for  expansion.  This  department  of  the  club  is  with- 
out doubt  the  most  important,  being  the  nucleus  for 
all  future  departments.  It  has  one  board  meeting  and 
one  program  each  month,  its  own  officers,  with  three 
members  of  the  mother  club  on  its  advisory  committee. 
The  young  people  plan  to  stabilize  their  charity  work 
this  coming  year  and  continue  their  cultural  programs. 

In  the  effort  to  be  of  service  to  the  community,  the 
club  has  sponsored  Philharmonic  concerts  most  suc- 
cessfully for  two  seasons.  Mrs.  D.  G.  Stephens  and 
Mrs.  J.  D.  Braun  have  put  heart  and  soul  into  the 
success  of  these  courses  with   most  gratifying  results. 

As  the  Philharmonic  concerts  symbolized  the  sub- 
lime, the  club  is  now  preparing  to  stage  the  ridiculous 
in  the  form  of  a  carnival  to  take  place  August  6  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  Municipal  Pier. 


PACIFIC   BEACH   READING 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Lucy  W oodiuard 
The  Pacific  Beach  Reading  Club  sends  greetings 
from  its  artistic  home,  bounded  by  f'oothills  and  ocean. 
The  club  has  had  a  successful  year,  although  discour- 
aged in  the  beginning  by  the  fact  that  the  first  meet- 
ing planned  as  a  study  of  the  eclipse,  had  to  be  at  the 
last    moment,    and    for     reasons     needless      to      state, 


changed  to  the  study  of  something  more  visible. 

Part  of  the  year  the  "members  stayed  quietly  at 
home,  and  heard  of  such  worth-while  subjects  as  art, 
civics,  literature  and  domestic  science.  Later  a  little 
further  afield,  we  had  the  opportunity  of  becoming 
more  conversant  with  the  customs  of  our  noble  red 
brother  on  the  Mesa  Grande  Reservation.  Still  later, 
becoming  bolder,  we  followed  in  personally  conducted, 
though  imaginary  trips  to  China,  South  America,  and 
even  the  far  off  Virgin  Islands.  Interspersed  with 
these  were  meetings  of  a  different  character,  filled 
with  music,  poetry,  fancy  drills  and  dances  by  the 
children. 

The  club  house,  now  fxiurteen  years  old,  is  at  all 
times  used  as  a  community  center.  The  membership 
has  increased  in  numbers  and  interest,  and  we  look 
forward  to  another  year  full  of  pleasant  study  and 
benefit  to   all. 


THURSDAY    AFTERNOON 
CLUB  OF  GLENDALE 

By  Mrs.  J.  W.  Sharpe,  Press  Chairman 

The  Thursday  Afternoon  Club  of  Glendale  has  not 
ceased  activity  with  the  coming  of  summer  but  is 
directing  renewed  energy  toward  raising  funds  for 
building  the  club  house  which  will  be  erected  this 
autumn. 

The  club  closed  the  year's  social  activity  with  a 
picnic  in  La  Crescenta,  where  the  members  were 
guests  of  Mrs.  L.  C.  Denman,  newly-elected  record- 
ing secretary  of  the  organization. 

Installation  of  officers  took  place  at  this  meeting  and 
Dr.  Jessie  A.  Russell,  the  club  delegate  to  the  recent 
biennial,   gave   her    report   on   that   convention. 

The  club  also  had  a  busy  week  conducting  a  trades 
display  and  carnival  which  opened  July  19  and  closed

July  26,  as  an  aid  to  the  building  fund.  A  special  fea- 
ture of  the  closing  day  was  a  baby  show.  Eight 
young  ladies  were  in  the  field  in  the  contest  for  queen 
of'  the  carnival,  to  be  elected  by  popular  vote,  the 
winner  being  crowned   on  the  closing  night. 

Officers  of  the  club  for  the  coming  year  are  Mrs. 
M.  C.  Newton,  president;  Mrs.  C.  H.  Whitney,  first 
vice-president;  Mrs.  Cary  Campbell,  second  vice- 
president;  Mrs.  L.  C.  Denman,  recording  secretary; 
Mrs.  Hazel  Vaulet,  corresponding  secretary;  Mrs. 
S.  E.  Brown,  treasurer. 

Mrs.  M.  C.  Newton,  president,  and  Mrs.  E.  V. 
Bacon,  chairman  of  ways  and  means,  are  directors  of 
the  carnival,  assisted  by  the  entire  personnel  of  the 
club,  and  Mrs.  McNaughton  Barnes  was  in  charge  of 
the  club  "Handy  Andy''  booth,  which  was  well  stocked 
with  miscellaneous  wares  and  home-made  candy. 


LOS  ANGELES  TRAVEL  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Sarah  E.  Pettis,  Press  Chairman 
The  Los  Angeles  Travel  Club,  under  the  leadership 
of  its  most  efficient  president,  Mrs.  E.  C.  Kesling,  has 
just  concluded  a  very  successful  year,  both  financially 
and  in  gain  of  membership.  As  the  by-laws  of  the 
club  read  that  an  officer  can  only  hold  office  for  two 
years,  Mrs.  Kesling  is  the  retiring  president,  having 
completed  her  two  years  of  service  in  that  capacity, 
but  the  executive  board  will  not  be  deprived  of  her 
valuable  services  as  she  has  been  elected  first  director. 
The  members  were  unanimous  in  electing  Mrs.  F. 
W.  Fuller  as  president,  whose  worth  cannot  be  meas- 
ured in  words,  and  whose  capabilities  have  been 
shown  in  her  previous  work  and  especially  that  of 
first  vice-president   and   program   chairman. 

As  the  first  Thursday  of  each  month  .being  desig- 
nated as  Travel  Day,  speakers  were  procured  to  give 
their   impressions   of'  various   countries   of   the   world. 


Among  the  speakers  were  Mrs.  Harry  H.  Culver  on 
Impressions  of  Japan,  Mrs.  Walter  Hoppe  on  Mexico, 
Mrs.  Fred  H.  Corthell  on  Switzerland,  Dr.  Joseph 
Seeter  on  Ireland,  Miss  Ada  Johnson  on  Scotland,  and 
numerous  others,  including  our  own  second  vice- 
president,  Mrs.  Maywood  Hoffman  in  her  travels 
through  Europe  and  the  Holy  Land. 

The  second  Thursday  of  each  month  is  devoted  to 
literature  and  many  interesting  and  instructive  pro- 
grams were  provided. 

State,  national  and  international  problems  have 
been  studied  in  the  public  affairs  section,  Mrs.  Allen 
French  Aldrich,  chairman,  and  support  by  resolution 
given  many  important  bills.  Among  the  speakers- 
were  Miss  Lloy  Galpin,  District  Chairman  of  Inter- 
national Relations,  Mrs.  Mab  Copeland  Lineman,  Dis- 
trict Chairman  of  Legislation,  Baroness  Ottily  De 
Ropp. 

In  the  dramatic  field,  such  well-known  artists  as 
Dr.  Marion  Tracy  Whiting,  Arthur  Kachel,  Mrs. 
Olive  Bowman  have  appeared.  The  fine  arts  sec- 
tion, Mrs.  Pickering  chairman,  presented  such  pro- 
grams as  Travels  of  an  Art  and  Gift  Buyer  through 
the  Marts  of  Europe,  and  Mrs.  E.  E.  Leighton,  the 
well-known    artist   and   District   Chairman   of   Art. 

The  hospitality  committee  was  instrumental  in  hav- 
ing a  series  of  "At  Home  Days"  once  each  month, 
when  a  reception  was  held  for  new  members  and  to 
welcome  presidents  of  other  clubs  and  friends.  A 
series  of  card  parties  was  given  to  entertain  husbands 
of  members  in  the  evening.  The  Good  Will  Circle 
was  an  inspiration  of  the  president,  organized  to 
work  in  conjunction  with  the  needlework  guild.  The 
Community  Service  Department  brought  joy  to  the 
city  Tubercular  Clinic  at  Christmas  time  and  has  as- 
sisted many  worthy  organizations  financially.  The 
Music  and  Drama  Sections  each  gave  a  very  enjoy- 
able  and    profitable    evening   entertainment.      We    are

especially  proud  of  being  the  first  club  to  be  100% 
in  the  endowment  fund. 

Although  many  of  the  members  are  away  on  vaca- 
tions, there  are  activities  among  the  members.  The 
Spanish  Section  is  meeting  reP'uIarly  with  Senora  Pick- 
ering  as   director. 

Rumors  are  afloat  concerning  a  club  picnic  to  be 
held    at   Exposition   Park    under    the   club's   own   tree. 

The  Community  Service  Department  will  meet  in 
August  to  sew  for  the  needlework  guild,  and  is  stress- 
ing co-operation  with  the  ex-service  men  and  assist- 
ing the  Travelers'   Aid    Society. 

Mrs.  Fuller,  the  president,  entertained  the  officers 
and  members  of  the  executive  board  at  a  very  prettily 
appointed  luncheon,  at  which  time  plans  for  the  com- 
ing year  were  discussed  and  directors  for  the  sec- 
tions were  chosen. 


ond  Monday  of  each  month. 

The  club  sends  best  wishes  for  the  coming  club 
year  to  all  other  small  clubs  in  like  towns.  Surely  at 
the  great  Biennial  in  June,  we  gained  enough  inspira- 
tion to  carry  on  for  another  year  in  the  small  com- 
munity where  as  Ida  Clyde  Clark  says  in  a  recent 
editorial,  the  real  club  work  is  done. 


THE  CULVER  CITY  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Lucile  R.  Eastham,   Vice-President  and  Press 
Chairman 

The  woman's  club  of  a  small  community  has  a 
unique  opportunity,  not  to  be  enjoyed  by  the  larger 
club  of  the  metropolis;  the  opportunity  to  play  a 
dominant  part  in  the  civic  life  of  the  town.  Contain- 
ing as  it  does  the  feminine  leaders  of  thought  it  mir- 
rors the  spirit  of  its  community  and  if  its  members  are 
clever  and  ever  watchful,  it  plays  no  small  part  in 
molding  that  spirit.  It  is  the  privilege  of  such  a  club 
to  set  the  standards  of  social  life,  especially  in  edu- 
cation  and   entertainment. 

This  is  the  opportunity  of  which  the  Culver  City 
Woman's  Club  has  tried  to  take  advantage.  Organ- 
ized as  it  was  in  response  to  a  request  for  sugges- 
tions to  help  Culver  City  grow,  it  has  tried  to  couple 
an  altruistic  spirit  of  service  to  its  community  with  its 
ambition  for  self.  Its  efforts  for  a  club  home  have 
been  motivated  by  the  realization  that  such  a  tool  will 
increase  many  fold  the  ability  to  serve.  Next  Septem- 
ber when  the  club  holds  its  first  meeting  in  the  club 
house  now  under  construction  on  Watseka  avenue,  the 
members  will  realize  that  while  four  years  of  effort 
have  been  crowned  with  success,  the  responsibilities  of 
the  club  will  have  increased  in  proportion  to  its  privi- 
leges. An  event  of  the  summer  will  be  the  ceremony 
attending  either  the  placing  of  a  bronze  name  plate 
in  the  club  house  wall  on  the  opening  of  the  build- 
ing, when  members  of'  other  local  organizations  will 
be  the  guests  of  the  club. 

The  summer  work  of  the  club  is  centered  on  a  "Buy 
at  Home"  campaign.  The  object  is  a  better  under- 
standing between  the  local  merchant  and  the  house- 
wife and  an  education  of  public  opinion  to  make  Cul- 
ver City  commercially  independent  in  retail  trade. 
The  committee  works  with  the  merchant  on  the  one 
hand,  using  the  address  of  Mrs.  John  D.  Sherman  of 
February  5,  1924,  before  the  convention  of  the  Na- 
tional Retail  Dry  Goods  Association,  as  a  guide,  and 
on  the  other  hand  with  the  housewives  of  the  com- 
munity. To  reach  the  women,  weekly  afternoon  card 
parties  are  staged  at  the  Green  Mill  Cafe,  when  their 
support  is  enlisted,  and  merchants  are  personally  in- 
troduced. Display  and  advertising  apprises  the  com- 
munity of  the  campaign.  This  comes  as  a  sequel  to 
the  Industrial  Exposition  held  last  summer  during 
the  term  of  Mrs.  Harry  H.  Culver  as  club  president. 

The  club  is  looking  forward  to  a  year  of  activity 
under  the  leadership  of'  Mrs.  Lawrence  H.  Wilson, 
the  newly  elected  president.  Work  will  continue  un- 
der the  departments  of  Music,  Drama,  Civics  and 
Philanthropy,  Parliamentary  Law  and  two  new  de- 
partments. Arts  and  Crafts,  and  Child  Welfare  will 
be   added. 

Monthly  program  meetings  will  be  held  on  the  sec- 


WOMAN'S  AUXILIARY  TO 
POSTAL   CLERKS 

By  Mrs.  Joe  W.  Keim,  Press  Chairman 

When  a  group  of  women  have  a  universal  interest, 
they  usually  work  very  earnestly  f'or  its  attainment. 
This  is  true  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  to  Postal 
Clerks  of  Los  Angeles. 

Our  first  aim  is  better  postal  legislation.  During 
the  past  year  every  effort  was  put  forth  to  secure  a 
readjustment  of  salaries  for  postal  workers.  We  lost 
through  the  president's  veto,  but  we  are  not  despair- 
ing in  our  worthy  cause,  and  shall  continue  our  ef- 
forts, supported  by  many  clubs  and  other  organiza- 
tions. Being  the  wives  of  postal  clerks  and  also  fed- 
erated club  women  we  are  doubly  linked  to  public 
welfare.     As  a  result  we  are  100  per  cent  voters. 

Being  a  small  and  limited  club  we  cannot  hope  to 
own  a  club  house,  but  meet  every  fourth  Tuesday 
in  the  homes  of  members.  From  our  programs  we 
gain  knowledge  and  the  inspiration  to  "carry  on." 

We  gave  our  full  quota  to  General  Federation  head- 
quarters and  to  the  Biennial.  Every  year  we  make 
gifts  of  money,  clothes  and  fruit  to  four  charitable 
organizations. 

We  look  forward  to  a  very  successful  year  and  an 
increase  in  membership  under  our  new  president, 
Mrs.  Edward   Stesch. 


THE  WOMAN'S  MUSIC  STUDY 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.   H.   H.  Heylmun 

The  Woman's  Music  Study  Club  recently  closed  a 
most  successful  club  year,  one  of  the  best  in  the  six- 
teen years  of  its  existence. 

The  retiring  president,  Mrs.  George  E.  Wing, 
spared  no  effort  to  make  the  year  1923-24  a  great  suc- 
cess, and  the  results  of  her  work  were  entirely  gratif-y- 
ing.  The  membership  of  the  club  was  increased  near- 
ly 50  per  cent.  The  regular  programs  were  each 
builded  upon  different  subjects  or  themes,  and  each 
one  was  a  triumph  in  its  own  style.  These  programs 
are  given  exclusively  by  members  of  the  club.     Then 

GLEASON'S  ParliamenUry  Digest 

The  Digest  was  written  by  a  woman  who  has 
been  for  seven  years  the  National  Superintendent 
of  Parliamentary  Law  for  the  Woman's  Christian 
Temperance  Union;  she  was  for  four  years  Par- 
liamentarian of  the  Los  Angeles  District  Federa- 
tion of  Women's  Clubs,  and  is  now  Parliamen- 
tarian for  seven  different  organizations  and  has 
had  much  experience  in  teaching  and  presiding. 
Mrs.  Gleason  knows  the  needs  of  our  women  and 
wrote  the  Digest,  to  be  used  as  a  text  as  well  as 
reference  book,  for  the  purpose  of  making  it  easier 
for  our  women  to  study  and  understand  parlia- 
mentary procedure.  Why  not  form  a  Parlia- 
mentary Section  in  your  Club  and  study  the 
Digest?  Hundreds  are  doing  it;  "Knowledge  is 
Power."  The  Digest  is  based  upon  "Robert's  Rules 
of  Order  Revised."  1923  Revised  Edition,  $2.00. 
If  your  book-store  does  not  carry  the  Digest,  send 
direct    to    the    author.

there  were  many  special  features  during  the  year  that 
were  wonderfully  enjoyable  and  promoted  acquaint- 
ance and  sociability.  On  two  state  occasions  the  well 
known  artists,  Alex  Cherniavsky  and  Daisy  Jean  pre- 
sented the  musical  programs.  These  artists  gave  of 
their  talent  through  courtesy  to  the  local  managers  of 
the  Philharmonic  Course,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  L.  D.  Frey, 
who  are  prominent  members  of  the  ^^^oman*s  Music 
Study  Club. 

The  club  chorus  made  fine  progress  the  past  year  in 
acquiring  many  new  talented  members  and  in  the 
work  accomplished  under  the  directorship  of  Mr.  Frey. 

The  closing  day  of  the  club  year  was  the  most  beau- 
tiful in  the  club  history.  The  special  features  were 
planned  by  Mrs.  Wing,  and  with  the  ready  assist- 
ance of  her  committees  she  made  the  afternoon  one 
never  to  be  forgotten  by  those  present,  when  she 
dropped  her  mantle  upon  the  shoulders  of'  the  new 
president,   Mrs.   O.   G.   Hinshaw. 

Preparations  for  the  coming  year  are  going  rapidly 
forward  through  the  efforts  of  Mrs.  Hinshaw  and  her 
program  chairman,  Mrs.  W.  T.  Moore,  assisted  by 
her  committee  members,  Miss  Ethel  Willard  Putnam, 
Mrs.  John  Spencer,  Miss  Ruth  Parkinson,  and  George 
A.  Reifsteck.  The  programs  promise  to  be  excellent 
and  varied,  and  it  is  predicted  that  another  splendid 
year  will  be  added  to  the  calendar  of  the  popular  and 
growing  Woman's  Music  Study  Club  of  Long  Beach. 


VAN  NUYS  WOMAN'S   CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Walter  H.  Crippen,  Press  Chairman 
On  the  night  of  June  26  the  Van  Nuys  Woman's 
Club  closed  its  doors  on  another  successful  year.  The 
evening's  entertainment  was  both  brilliant  and  pleas- 
ing. During  the  splendid  dinner  music  was  furnished 
by  the  Van  Nuys  orchestra  and  the  national  dances 
of  various  countries  were  portrayed  by  the  pupils  of 
Miss  Allen. 

Mrs.    Charles    Steere    in    her    farewell    address    ex-

pressed  her  appreciation  of  the  co-operation  of  her 
fellow   officers   during  the  past  two  years. 

Mrs.  Burt  HoUoway,  the  newly-elected  president, 
made  a  few  fitting  remarks  and  introduced  the  chair- 
men of  standing  committees  whom  she  has  chosen  to 
help  her  during  the  next  year. 

Later  in  the  evening  a  one-act  comedy  was  pre- 
sented under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  A.  V.  Austin.  This 
was  most  amusing  and  especially  well  received.  The 
evening's  entertainment  was  closed  by  the  chorus 
singing  "Going  Home"  under  the  direction  of  Ewert 
Williams. 

The  past  year's  program  as  outlined  by  the  program 
committee,  of  which  Mrs.  E.  A.  Moehn  was  the  chair- 
man, was  carried   out  almost   to  the   letter. 

Federation  guests  invited  to  the  opening  luncheon 
September  26  were  Mrs.  J.  C.  Urquhart,  Mrs.  Charles 
Toll.  Mrs.  J.  B.  Lorbeer,  and  Dr.  Marion  Tracy 
Whiting. 

Charter  Day  on  October  10  was  under  the  direction 
of  the  Past  Presidents. 

Reciprocity  Day  brought  us  many  guests  from  the 
Southland  and  it  was  a  real  pleasure  to  be  hostesses 
to  such  an  assemblage. 

On  Oct.  31  the  entire  club  joined  in  entertaining  101 
disabled   veterans   at   a   chicken    dinner. 

The  Art,  Home  Economics  and  Needlework  Sec- 
tions held  a  bazaar  on  Nov.  14.  The  articles  sold  were 
splendid  specimens  of  their  kind  and  were  not  at  all 
difficult  to  dispose  of. 

Miss  Luelma  Kostomlatsky  conducted  the  book  re- 
view in   a  most  interesting  manner. 

On  Child  Welfare  Day  Dr.  Maude  Wilde  visited 
us  and  in  her  splendid  manner  met  some  of  the  many 
problems  of  motherhood. 

On   the   night  of   December   31    a   watch   party  was

held  for  the  club  members  and  their  husbands.  It 
was  a  great  success,  being  entirely  informal. 

The  Drama  Section  took  efficient  charge  of  the 
meeting  of'  January  9. 

The  Art  Section  secured  Mr.  J.  F.  Kanst  who  lec- 
tured on  Art  in  the  Home,  illustrating  his  points  by 
the  display  of  many  wonderful  paintings.  He  gave 
the  financial  history  of  some  well-known  paintings 
thereby  calling  attention  to  the  fact  that  buying  paint- 
ings is   really  a  good   investment. 

The  Home  Economics  committee  were  hostesses  for 
the  social  afternoon  on  January  30.  This  committee 
after  a  series  of  misfortunes  secured  Mrs.  Mary  Rich- 
ardson for  chairman  and  rendered  cheerful  and  effi- 
cient service  to  the  club.  To  the  Civics  chairman 
was  given  the  day  of  March  26.  Her  efforts  have 
been   untiring  and   productive. 

History  and  Landmarks  program  was  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Mrs.  Louis  Boultier.  The  speaker 
of  the  day  was  Mrs.  Florence  Dodson   Schoneman. 

Our  first  Press  Day  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  R. 
L.  Schoeffel  was  unique  in  its  hi-jinks.  Representa- 
tives of'  the  local  and  Los  Angeles  papers  were  special 
guests. 

The  plans  for  the  coming  year  are  taking  shape  in 
a  most  satisfactory  manner.  With  the  hearty  co- 
operation of  all  officers  and  members  the  club's  slogan, 
Service,  will  be  lived  up  to  in  the  fullest  interpreta- 
tion of  the  word. 


BARD  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  S.  H.  Flood,  President 

The  Bard  Woman's  Club  is  in  an  isolated  part  of 
Imperial  County.  So  we  have  to  depend  almost  en- 
tirely upon  our  ten  members  for  our  programs  and 
material  is  not  easy  to  get.  But  we  are  loyal  club- 
women  and   hold   our   bi-monthly   meetings   regularly. 

Our  work  is  mostly  community  welfare.  We  initi- 
ated the  local  Parent-Teachers'  Association  and  give 
all  the  assistance  we  can  to  the  other  organizations 
which   are,   like   ours,   necessarily  small. 

We  are  making  plans  to  organize  Boy  Scout  and 
Girls'  Reserve  Units  this  next  year,  and  possibly 
form   a   dramatic  club   for  our  older  young   people. 

Until  the  election,  we  will  devote  our  meetings  to 
a  study  of  the  amendments  to  be  voted  on,  and  after 
that,  to  the  California  State  Constitution. 

The  last  meeting  of  the  year  was  a  social  one  for 
the  purpose  of  getting  new  members  and  we  expect 
to  have  our  number  doubled  by  fall. 

Two  years  ago  we  purchased  a  modest  clubhouse 
and  now  have  a  piano  fund  well  started. 


LA  CANADA  THURSDAY  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  N.  A.  Maynard,  Secretary 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  club  held  on  the  second 
Thursday  in  October,  1923,  there  was  a  membership 
of  thirty-five.  The  year  closed  with  a  membership 
of  eighty-three. 

A  fine  site  for  the  clubhouse  has  been  given  and 
already  more  than  a  thousand  dollars  has  been  pledged 
and  besides  about  five  hundred  dollars  has  been 
banked  for  the  proposed  new  building. 

Every  president's  council  has  been  attended  by  the 
full  quota  of  officers. 

Mrs.  P.  H.  Johnson,  president,  who  was  appointed 
delegate  for  the  Biennial  attended  all  but  three  meet- 
ings and  many  members  took  advantage  of  the  vari- 
ous sessions. 

The  club  has  been  able  and  happy  to  meet  all  of 
its  outside  financial  requirements  f"or  the  year. 

The  closing  feature  for  1924  was  the  annual  pic- 
nic if  the  La  Canada  Thursday  Club,  held  on  June 
27.      A    very    festive    occasion    held     in    the    school 


grounds  made  gay  with  electric  lights  shaded  by 
Japanese  lanterns. 

Long  tables  were  spread  under  the  live  oaks,  with 
delicious  viands  and  nearly  two  hunrded  and  fifty 
enjoyed  the  repast. 

Music  was  furnished  by  the  Southern  California 
Edison  Band. 

Dancing  was  enjoyed  in  the  patio  of  the  school 
building  for-  the  interim  between  the  supper  and  the 
giving  of  the  laughable  play,  in  the  school  auditorium 
of  The  Case  of  Mrs.  Kantsey  Know  by  Myra  Wills 
Jarrell,  under  the  direction  of  Mrs.  F.  W.  Coon  of 
Pasadena. 

The  stage  furnishings  were  supplied  by  W.  W. 
Swarthout. 

The  cast  consisted  of  Mrs.  Kantsey  Know,  Mrs.  J. 
W.  Seright,  Mrs.  Doet  Nowe,  Mrs.  J.  A.  Ross,  Delaine 
Know,  Mrs.  Byron  Beach,  Bea  Chummie,  Mrs.  Whit- 
ney Waterman,  Billy  Know,  Bert  Leonard,  Ruthie 
Know,  Louise  Wood,  Mrs.  Maket  Wright,  Mrs.  Will- 
iam Hays,  Mrs.  Leshure  Lee,  Mrs.  H.  E.  Hoefun, 
Mrs.  Tender  Lee,  Mrs.  R.  G.  Wood. 

The  first  meeting  for  the  year  1924-25  will  be  held 
on  the  second  Thursday  of  October  at  the  school 
auditorium. 

The  officers  for  the  coming  year  include  Mrs.  P.  H. 
Johnson,  president;  Mrs.  H.  L.  Hayman,  vice-presi- 
dent; Mrs.  N.  A.  Maynard,  secretary;  Mrs.  George 
L.  Miller,  treasurer;  Mrs.  Victoria  Pearson-Rolfe, 
corresponding  secretary;  Mrs.  E.  A.  Brigham,  auditor; 
Mrs.  N.  A.  Maynard,  secretary. 


CONTEMPORARY   CLUB   OF 
REDLANDS 

By  Harriett  May  Perrin,  Press  Chairman 

The  Contemporary  Club  went  into  summer  recess 
the  last  of  May,  expecting  not  to  meet  again  until 
October,  but  two  delightful  occasions  have  called 
them  together  since,  informally. 

One  was  the  welcoming  of  visitors  from  the  bien- 
nial in  Los  Angeles,  who  on  June  7  came  fifty  strong 
to  visit  the  orange  belt.  After  a  drive  over  Red- 
lands  they  were  greeted  in  the  club  house  and  tea 
garden,  the  latter  recently  fitted  with  new  lattice  and 
seats.  Its  tables  were  centered  with  bright  baskets 
of  flowers,  typical  California  blossoms  having  been 
selected  as  being  of  special  interest  to  eastern  women. 
During  the  happy,  intimate  hour  as  greetings  were 
exchanged,  cooling  dainties  were  served. 

Then  on  June  23  in  response  to  enthusiastic  demand 
on  the  part  of  some  thirty  or  more  women  "who  jour- 
neyed to  Los  Angeles  f'or  one  or  more  sessions  of 
the  ten-day  convention  of  the  General  Federation, 
a  special  meeting  was  held,  the  newly  elected  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  W.  A.  Taltavall  presiding.  Only  the  gems 
of  the  convention  were  discussed.  Of  those  who  went 
down  a  dozen  spoke.  The  high  lights  of  those  won- 
derful meetings  were  so  presented  that  they  will  ever 
remain  an  inspiration  to  local  club  women.  Among 
the  Junior  members  attending  was  Miss  Nina  Moore 
who  gave  a  delightful  resume  of  the  young  girls' 
part.  The  Contemporary  Club  has  long  made  a  spe- 
cial feature  of  its  Junior  work  and  was  well  repre- 
sented at  the  Biennial  in  Los  Angeles. 

The  club  was  fortunate  this  year  in  having  a  splen- 
did program  chairman,  Mrs.  M.  J.  Sweeney,  and  Mon- 
day afternoons  have  been  delightfully  planned,  with 
something  of  interest  for  every  one  of  the  three  hun- 
dred members.  A  survey  of  speakers  and  artists 
programs  was  given  in  The  Clubwoman  in  May. 
Particularly  enjoyable  have  been  the  musical  pro- 
grams planned  by  a  committee  functioning  as  a  unit 
for  the  first  time  this  year  with  Miss  Anna  Blanche

Foster  as  chairman.  Both  outside  and  local  talent 
have  been  presented. 

Of  course  the  club  is  most  proud  of  the  fact  that 
the  indebtedness  on  its  beautiful  home  was  cleared 
this  year,  a  celebration  at  the  beginning  of  the  winter 
having  marked  this  event.  A  beautiful  new  kitchen 
with  every  convenience,  on  the  second  floor  off  the 
dining  room  which  seats  two  hundred,  greatly  light- 
ens the  work  of  club  members  who  each  Thursday 
serve  dinners  to  the  local  Rotary  Club,  aside  from 
their  own  club  luncheons  and  dinners.  The  proceeds 
realized  from  Rotary  luncheons  aided  immensely  in 
clearing  the  indebtedness  of  the  club. 

This  year  has  witnessed  also  the  purchase  of  a 
beautiful  new  concert  grand  piano  and  many  improve- 
ments to  the  club  house. 

The  closing  days  in  the  spring  were  marked  by 
the  reception  given  by  the  retiring  president  Mrs. 
Charles  A.  Dibble,  at  her  lovely  home  in  Smiley 
Heights.  Mrs.  Dibble  has  served  the  club  for  two 
years. 

Members  of'  the  Evening  Auxiliary  to  the  Con- 
temporary Club,  organized  three  years  ago  to  give 
club  privileges  to  business  and  professional  women 
who  could  not  avail  themselves  of  the  afternoon  pro- 
grams, have  inaugurated  a  new  plan  through  the 
summer,  that  of  weekly  luncheons  at  a  down  town 
hotel,  and  are  finding  it  so  enjoyable  that  they  may 
be  continued  even  into  the  winter  season.  Both  out- 
side speakers  and  members  discuss  topics  of  interest 
to  business  women,  such  as  investments,  health,  and 
systematic  giving. 

With  its  Auxiliary  and  Junior  League  the  Con- 
temporary Club  is  looking  forward  to  a  very  bright 
year   in    1924-25.

UNIVERSITY  BOOK  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  R.  Pennick,  Press  Correspondent 

Just  ten  years  ago  in  1914  a  few  ladies  living  on, 
or  near  University  Avenue,  Los  Angeles,  with  Miss 
Fannie  Dorman,  Librarian  of  the  University  Branch 
Library,  organized  a  club,  the  object  of  which  was  to 
promote  the  higher  culture  and  increase  the  usefulness 
of  its  members. 

They  named  the  club  the  University  Book  Club. 
Their  first  president  was  Mrs.  Ruby  Sinclair,  who 
owing  to  illness  was  compelled  to  resign  and  whose 
unexpired  term  was  filled  by  Mrs.  Laura  G.  Parkins; 
who  served  two  years,  and  in  faithfulness  and  heart 
interest  in  the  club,  is  still  serving  us.  The  other 
presidents  on  the  club,  Mrs.  R.  F.  del  Valle,  Mrs. 
P.  H.  Brady  and  Miss  Francis  Everelle,  served  the 
club  most  efficiently.  We  have  sixty-seven  members 
and  helpful  and  co-operative  harmony  has  been  the 
keynote  of  our  club. 

We  prepare  and  give  our  own  programs  which  is 
another  great  feature  of  our  club's  existence. 

Criticism  is  "taboo"  as  every  member  knows  the 
other  has  done  her  best  not  only  to  help  her  own 
mentality,  but  to  bring  the  subject  to  the  club  in  such 
a  way  that  we  may  all  derive  some  benefit  from  it, 
and  convey  to  the  others  some  of  the  pleasure  we 
experienced  in  preparing  and  delivering  the  paper. 

Miss  Annie  Fulton  who  was  a  charter  member,  has 
been  elected  president,  with  Mrs.  Ella  Adams  vice 
president  for  the  ensuing  year.  Our  subjects  for  the 
period  "Authors,  Their  Lives  and  Works,"  "Better 
Film  Days,"  and  other  miscellaneous  works,  promise 
an  interesting  and  educational  year. 

We  have  two  branches  of  philanthropic  work: 
Needle  Work  Guild  of  which  Miss  Nellie  Western 
is  chairman,  and  Child  Welfare  Benefit,  Mrs.  A.  R. 
Pennick,  chairman.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


We  also  have  two  "Gala"  days,  a  "Birthday  Party" 
and  our  Outing,  or  Picnic  Day.  The  former  has  for 
years  been  given  in  the  beautiful  home  of  Mrs.  M.  A. 
Lockhart,  1245  Van  Ness  Avenue.  Here  we  are 
treated  to  a  fine  program  of  which  one  of  the  most 
enjoyable  features  is  the  Swiss  Yodel  songs  by  Mrs. 
Charles  Bogue,  who  is  chairman  of  our  Music  Com- 
mittee. 

Mrs.  Jane  Lytel  once  gave  us  the  history  of  the 
Bethlehem  choir,  which  was  founded  by  the  Moro- 
vians  in  1735.  She  explained  many  things  regard- 
ing the  organization  of  this  famous  choir  and  told  of 
the  manner  in  which  it  had  been  conducted  through 
all   the  years. 

On  June  26  Miss  Francis  Everett  retiring  president 
gave  a  luncheon  in  the  rose  room  of  the  Mary  Louise, 
to  twenty-seven  members  of  the  club,  who  are  former 
officers,  or  now  in  office.  We  were  honored  in  hav- 
ing Mrs.  Charles  Toll,  president  of  Los  Angeles  dis- 
trict and  Mrs.  Charles  McKenly,  State  Parliamentar- 
ian with  us,  each  given  us  informal  talks.  Mrs.  Toll 
spoke  highly  of  our  club  in  saying  that  looking  over 
her  records  she  found  the  University  Book  Club  had 
fulfilled  all  its  obligations  to  the  Federation  in  the 
way  of  reports  and  contributions. 

We  have  also,  this  year,  completed  payment  of 
our  part  of  the  Endowment  Fund. 

Our  club  motto  "Let  us  strive  to  be  what  we  wish 
to  seem"  is  daily  emblazoned  in  our  minds. 

WOMAN'S  SATURDAY  AFTER- 
NOON    CLUB     OF 
FALLBROOK 

By  Lizzie  B.  Perkins,  Corresponding   Secretary 

Thinking  it  might  be  of  interest  to  clubwomen 
readers  to  know  something  of  the  environment  of  the 
club,  I  am  venturing  to  tell  a  little  of  the  "home 
country"  of  the  Saturday  Afternoon  Club. 

In  the  northern  part  of  San  Diego  county,  fifteen 
miles  from  the  Pacific,  there  nestles  among  the  hills 
the  little  village  of  Fallbrook.  Rarely  beautiful  is 
the  Fallbrook  country.  It  lies  between  the  Santa  Ana 
and  Palomar  mountains,  and  its  rolling  hills  and  val- 
leys are  covered  with  groves  of  orange,  lemon  and 
olive,  acres  and  acres  of  them,  the  dark  green  foliage 
of  the  orange  and  lemon  contrasting  beautifully  with 
the  silvery  splendor  of  the  leaves  of  the  olive.  There 
are  smiling  vineyards  and  fields  of  grain,  and  around 
the  ranch  houses  you  will  see  the  fig,  the  peach  and 
the  pomegranate,  while  here  and  there  a  giant  palm 
lifts  his  head  on  high  as  though  he  were  keeping 
guard  over  the  peaceful  country-side.  In  the  can- 
yons are  great  live  oaks,  friendly  sycamores,  alders 
and  willows  and  in  the  spring  a  wilderness  of  wild 
flowers.     Over  all  is  a  sky  as  blue  as  that  of  Italy. 

In  this  favored  section  of  our  state  the  Saturday 
Afternoon  Club  has  worked  and  studied.  It  was  or- 
ganized in  1907,  federated  in  1909,  and  incorporated 
in  1910.  With  a  membership  of  less  than  forty  it 
owns  a  block  of  land  planted  to  trees  and  shrubs  and 
a  comfortable  well-arranged  clubhouse,  that  is  the 
center  for  many  public  gatherings.  The  club  has 
always  worked  for  the  betterment  of  the  community 
and  is  ever  ready  to  lend  a  hand  in  any  worthy  cause. 
Luncheons  for  the  Fallbrook  Chamber  of  Commerce 
are  served  every  Tuesday  at  the  clubhouse  by  mem- 
bers of  the  club.  For  the  past  year  the  number  served 
at  these  luncheons  has  ranged  from  twenty  to  seventy- 
five. 

For  the  pleasure  of  the  young  people  a  moving 
picture  is  given  at  the  clubhouse  every  Thursday 
night.  An  occasional  dance  is  given  and  now  and 
then  a  concert  and  a  play  or  two.  Once  a  year,  early 
in  December,  the  club  joins  forces  with  other  organ- 
izations of  women  in  the  village  and  surrounding 
country  and  there  is  a  big  Christmas  bazaar  and  a 
community  dinner  at  the  clubhouse.     The  annual  event 


is  popular  and  has  always  been  a  decided  success — 
socially   and    financially. 

The  club  year  begins  the  first  Saturday  of  Sep- 
tember and  meetings  are  held  the  first  Saturday  of 
each  month,  excepting  July  and  August.  The  pro- 
grams cover  a  wide  range  of  subjects.  The  drama, 
music,  art,  literature,  citizenship,  child  psychology, 
home-making  and  current  events — something  for 
everyone.  The  club  has  many  out  of  town  speakers 
and  at  least  once  a  year  the  pupils  from  the  schools 
furnish   all  or  a  part  of  a  day's  program. 

The  social  part  of  club  life  is  not  neglected.  A 
club  party  is  given  in  the  fall,  a  luncheon  in  May 
and  a  picnic  in  June.  At  the  close  of  every  regular 
meeting  there  is  a  social  hour  when  the  hospitality 
committee  serves  tea  or  other  refreshments  to  the 
club  members  and  their  guests. 

The  dues  are  very  small,  the  club  revenue  com- 
ing from  rentals,  from  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
luncheons,  from  the  moving  pictures  and  from  the 
various  entertainments  given.  For  a  small  club  in  a 
small  town,  is  the  record  good? 

WOMAN'S     IMPROVEMENT 
CLUB   OF   RIVERA 

The  Woman's  Improvement  Club  of  Rivera  has 
just  completed  a  most  enjoyable  and  successful  year. 

Our  success  in  paying  off  the  mortgage  on  our 
property  and  making  repairs  that  were  necessary, 
buying  piano,  dishes  and  draperies  which  we  have 
done  in  the  past  two  years  has  demonstrated  the 
truth  of  our  Federation  motto  "Strength  united  is 
stronger."  A  small  band  of  determined  women,  we 
took  this  for  our  slogan:  "Bite  off  more  than  you  can 
chew,  then  chew  it.  Plan  for  more  than  you  can  do, 
and  then  do  it.  Hitch  your  wagon  to  a  star,  keep 
your  seat  and  there  you  are."  We  are  justly  proud 
of  our  achievement. 

Very  fine  programs  were  presented  at  our  semi- 
monthly meetings,  mostly  by  club  members,  though 
at  several  meetings  very  instructive  addresses  were 
given.  One  meeting  was  devoted  to  the  Citizenship 
Department  with  Mrs.  Shenk  as  speaker.  Another, 
Legislation  day  we  had  with  us  Mrs.  Flora  Belle 
Nelson  president  of  the  Lawyers'  Club  of  Los  An- 
geles. Mrs.  E.  D.  Crouch,  the  president,  who  was 
also  chairman  of  International  Relations  for  the  club, 
secured  the  Rev.  Kenneth  Beam,  secretary  of  the 
Society  of  International  Justice  and  Good  Will  as 
speaker  at  her  meeting.  A  petition  signed  by  every 
member  asking  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into 
the  World   Court  was   sent  to  Washington. 

Our  chairman  of  Child  Welfare,  Mrs.  Emma  S. 
Wells,  is  doing  some  fine  work  in  her  department, 
co-operating  with  the  County  Health  Department.  We 
furnish  a  room  free  of  charge  where  a  competent 
physician  meets  the  mothers  and  children  one  day 
each  week.  The  children  are  weighed  and  instruc- 
tions are  given  as  to  diet,  rest,  and  other  treatments 
necessary  to  bring  a  child  to  normal.  This  clinic 
is  held  every  week,  winter  and  summer,  and  includes 
foreign  as  well  as  American  children. 

We  have  co-operated  with  the  Whittier  district  in 
the  work  with  ex-service  men  and  women,  furnish- 
ing our  quota  of  Christmas  boxes,  giving  money,  and 
one  one  occasion  sent  all  available  autos  to  take  as 
many  boys  as  we  could  for   a  ride. 

We  observed  National  Music  Week  by  giving  an 
evening  of  community  singing  interspersed  by  songs 
and  instrumental  music  by  local  talent.  We  had  a 
full  house   and   a  very   enjoyable  time. 

One  of  the  last  things  accomplished  before  the  close 
of  the  club  year  was  the  formation  of  a  Junior  Aux- 
iliary with  twenty  charter  members,  as  fine  a  bunch 
of  American  Beauties  as  one  ever  saw,  and  every  one 
of  them  anxious  to  blossom  into  real  club  workers 
at  the  beginning  of  the  year.

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF 
OCEANSIDE 

By  Virginia  Hart 

The  Woman's  Club  of  Oceanside  holds  a  rose  or 
dahlia  show  each  year  "vvhich  is  enjoyed  by  a  com- 
munity of  flower  lovers.  Mount  Ecclesia,  the  home  of 
the  Rosicrucian  Fellowship,  makes  a  large  display, 
carrying  away  many  ribbons,  and  private  gardens 
take  their  share.  Funds  for  the  ribbons  are  raised 
by  the  sale  of  tea  and  cake.  This  year  interest  was 
largely  enhanced  by  the  exhibit  of  a  large  collection 
of  photographs,  engravings,  and  etchings  of  the 
cathedrals  of  Europe,  loaned  by  their  owner,  Mrs. 
Elizabeth  Constance  Johnston.  Seldom  if  ever  is  such 
an  opportunity  offered  to  the  stay  at  home  party. 

The  closing  of'  our  year's  financial  efforts  was 
marked  by  a  blaze  of  glory  when  the  Women's  Min- 
strel Show  was  staged  by  Mrs.  E.  M.  Hogan  of  San 
Francisco.  Four  past  presidents  and  the  president- 
elect, all  having  reached  the  age  of  discretion,  gave 
satisfactory  interpretations  as  end-women,  while 
talent  from  various  city  organizations  made  up  the 
chorus.      A    fashion    show    was    one    of    the    features 


greatly  enjoyed  by  the  feminine  portion  of  the  tre- 
mendous audience.  The  proceeds  paid  for  three  new 
sets  ol'  scenery,  the  first  seen,  perhaps  in  a  decade  in 
Oceanside. 

Our  new  president,  Mrs.  Victor  Magee,  comes  to. 
us  from  the  Fallbrook  Club,  having  served  as  secre- 
tary and  president.  After  having  read  a  late  number 
of'  the  Women's  Home  Companion,  where  this  small 
town  club's  achievements  are  strongly  emphasized,  it 
goes  without  saying,  to  be  one  of  them  is  an  education 
in  itself.      (Fallbrook  please  make  a  bow.) 

The  new  Program  Committee,  agonizing  between 
hope  and  despair,  agitated  by  a  laudable  desire  to 
elevate,  entertain  and  draw  out  club  members,  pro- 
poses this  year  to  shift  some  of  its  burdens  by  ask- 
ing the  individual  member  to  furnish  one  monthly 
program.  She  may  beg,  buy,  or  borrow  it,  but  it  is 
"up  to  her." 

Programs  in  view  are:  Shakespearean  Women; 
Demonstration  of  Food  Products,  one  of  those  jolly 
paper  napkin  afternoons;  Indian  Day,  when  Manuel- 
it's  memory  will  be  honored  and  Pala  Mission,  on  bas- 
ketry shown;  Home  Economics,  a  broad  subject 
ranging    from    the    proper    way    to    reseat    brother's

COLTON  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

My  Mrs.  Henry  A.  Mullen,  Press  Chairman 

Members  of  the  Colton  Women's  Club  are  on  tiptoe 
with  enthusiasm  over  the  erection  of  a  new  club  house, 
which  is  to  be  constructed  on  the  site  of  the  old,  on 
North  Seventh  street. 

The  contract  was  let  on  July  3,  signed  by  the  build- 
ing committee,  Mrs.  W.  B.  McKittrick,  Mrs.  M.  A. 
Bausch,  and  Mrs.  F.  H.  Pritchard.  Mr.  N  L.  Palmer, 
contractor  and  builder,  was  the  lowest  bidder,  and 
work  has  already  begun. 

The  contract  calls  for  the  first  unit  of  the  building 
of  the  new  club  house  at  an  expenditure  of  $7000. 
The  remodelling  of  the  present  building  to  accommo- 
date three  times  as  many  people  as  now.  There  is  to 
be  a  lovely  approach  to  the  building,  an  artistic  wall, 
with  three  entrance  gates  to  the  porch,  which  is  to 
be  an  imitation  of  Spanish  style,  with  twelve-inch 
blocking,  and  a  beautiful  twelve-foot  entrance  to  the 
main  auditorium,  which  will  be  30x39  feet,  and  laid 
in  hard   wood. 

The  stage  will  be  eighteen  inches  from  the  floor 
and  will  have  a  space  of  10x25  feet,  with  a  dressing 
room  on  either  side.  The  ceiling  will  be  very  attrac- 
tive, with  controlled  groups  of  indirect  lighting  eifects. 

The  kitchen  will  be  enlarged  to  the  length  of  the 
building,  and  the  porch  roof  will  be  covered  with  tile. 

The  exterior  will  be  in  white  stucco  and  will  pre- 
sent a  very  beautiful  appearance,  and  will  be  one  of 
the  attractions  of  Colton  in  about  five  months. 

THE  WOMEN  LAWYER'S  CLUB 

By  Flora  Belle  Nelson,  President 

The  same  mail  which  brought  the  resignation  of 
our  press  chairman,  Mildred  Murphy,  carried  also 
the  notice  that  The  Clubwoman  had  reserved  space 
for  our  club  and  wished  the  "copy"  within  a  short 
time.  The  press  chairman  not  being  available,  my 
next  thought  was  turned  to  the  secretary,  Cecil  Betz- 
Davis,  but  recalling  that  she  is  on  her  honeymoon, 
which  would  render  her  too  irresponsible  for  any  such 
duty,  I  arrogated  to  myself  the  power  of  the  pen  for 
this  occasion. 

Our  club  meets  twice  a  month,  each  alternate  meet- 
ing being  a  luncheon,  at  which  the  girls  congregate 
to  combine  a  social  hour  with  a  talk  on  some  vital 
subject.  However,  our  activities  cease  during  the 
summer  months.  The  last  meeting  before  vacation 
was  held  at  Oaks  Tavern,  at  which  Winifred  Ellis 
gave  a  tremendously  interesting  report  of  the  Biennial, 
where  she  represented  our  club. 

Just  at  present  a  number  are  away  attending  the 
various  legal  gatherings.  Some  of  our  members  are 
also  members  of  the  National  Women  Lawyers'  Asso- 
ciation, which  held  its  convention  in  Philadelphia  early 
in  July.  From  there  a  delegation  will  proceed  to 
London,  where  the  American  Bar  Association  is  to 
be  entertained. 

During  the  District  and  Biennial  conventions  in  our 
midst,  there  were  numerous  exhibits  from  the  clubs, 
showing  their  artistic,  scientific  and  industrial  prog- 
ress. I  was  struck  with  the  fact  that  our  club  had  no 
visible  or  tangible  evidence  of  any  contribution  we 
might  be  making  to  the  community  —  nothing  that 
would  lend  itself  to  a  display  in  booths.  We  can 
make  ourselves  felt  as  a  factor  only  by  our  efforts  in 
our  profession  to  inspire  in  the  people  a  respect  for 
our  laws,  not  to  evade  and  escape  them;  to  help  to 
arouse  and  direct  the  national  consciousness  by  stimu- 


lating an  interest  in  public  affairs  and  assist  in  ex- 
plaining the  issues  of  the  day  to  those  less  able  to 
secure  information  than  we. 

Two  of  our  number,  Margaret  Yale  and  Mab  Line- 
man, are  serving  on  the  District  Board.  Our  club 
also  feels  the  honor  reflected  upon  it  by  the  fine 
tribute  Asa  Keyes,  district  attorney,  has  paid  to  the 
work  of  Florence  Woodhead  by  placing  her  at  the 
head  of  the  Juvenile  Department  in  the  District  At- 
torney's office,  where  she  has  been  an  able  deputy 
for  several  years.  She  will  have  charge  of  the 
"failure  to  provide"  and  juvenile  cases  arising  in  that 
department. 

The  Biennial  stressed  the  idea  of  the  feasibility  of 
women  in  higher  positions  of  civic  and  political  life — • 
notably  on  the  bench  in  dealing  with  women  and  chil- 
dren. California,  with  all  its  boast  of  progressive- 
ness,  is  far  behind  some  states  in  this  respect.  Judge 
Florence  Allen  of  Supreme  Court  of  Ohio,  Judge  Mary 
Barthelme  of  Illinois,  Judge  Grossman  of  Cleveland, 
and  others  we  might  mention,  have  proved  the  ability 
of  women  in  such  capacities.  We  have  none  in  Cali- 
fornia. Do  men  lack  faith  in  our  women,  do  women 
lack  faith  in  women,  or  have  we  failed  to  fit  ourselves 
to  serve  in  positions  of  such  responsibility  and  trust?

ASSOCIATION  OF  LETTER 

CARRIERS,  ANGEL  CITY 

BRANCH 

By  Mrs.  Rhoda  Miller,  Press  Chairman 

We  meet  in  executive  session  on  the  first  Saturday 
evening  of'  each  month  at  7:30  o'clock  in  the  Disabled 
War  Veterans'  Hall,  246  South  Hill  street,  Los  An- 
geles, being  the  same  time  and  building  in  which  the 
Letter  Carriers'  Association  holds  its  meetings. 

The  reason  for  the  existence  of  our  Auxiliary  is  to 
give  what  assistance  we  can  to  the  men's  association 
in  all  their  activities,  such  as  the  betterment  of  their 
conditions  and  their  social  affairs. 

The  present  oflicers  of  the  Auxiliary  are:  Presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Irene  Burton;  Vice  President,  Mrs.  Alpha 
Lamp;  Financial  Secretary,  Mrs.  Lela  Henderson; 
Corresponding  Secretary,  Mrs.  Anne  Hartenstein; 
Treasurer,  Mrs.  Lynette  Morton;  Trustees,  Mesdames 
Margaret  Linton,  Ethel  W.  Davis  and  Lucie  Knowles. 

Our  social  afternoon  is  spent  at  the  home  of  one  of 
the  members  on  the  second  Wednesday  of  each  month, 
being  an  all-day  session,  a  dainty  lunch  always  being 
served  by  the  hostess.  At  these  meetings  some  charity 
work  is  taken  up.  We  have  no  set  charity,  but  such 
demands  as  some  to  our  attention  are  given  our  serious 
consideration.  During  the  past  year  we  made  a  num- 
ber of  garments  for  the  General  Hospital.  Being 
somewhat  different  to  a  regulation  club,  we  work  as  a 
unit  rather  than  a  departmental  club.  The  various 
committees — Ways  and  Means,  Entertainment,  Social 
Service,  Telephone  and  Hospitality  committees — are 
actively  operative,  which  was  evidenced  by  the  activi- 
ties on  July  4  at  the  Letter  Carriers'  picnic  in  Echo 
Park,  where  a  barbecue  dinner  was  served  and  re- 
freshments taken  charge  of  by  the  ladies,  while  the 
Letter  Carriers'  Band  entertained  at  the  ball  game 
in  the  afternoon  and  during  the  fireworks  in  the 
evening. 

We  are  now  actively  engaged  in  preparing  for  a 
bazaar,  the  greater  portion  of  the  articles  being 
needlecraft,  noted  by  these  home  women,  who  will 
also  donate  homemade  cake  and  candy.  The  proceeds 
of  this  bazaar  go  into  our  funds,  from  which  our 
charitable  donations  are  drawn.  After  the  bazaar 
preparations  will  be  made  for  the  Christmas  tree  for 
the  children  of  the  Letter  Carriers.

ELSINORE   WOMAN'S    CLUB 

By  Edna  H.  McCoy,  Press   Chairman 

The  main  effort  of  the  Elsinore  Woman's  Club  the 
past  year  has  been  toward  securing  funds  for  a  club 
house. 

Mrs.  Isabel  J.  Norton  of  Elsinore  made  the  project 
possible  by  donating  a  beautifully  located  lot  and 
$5000,  to  be  paid  in  yearly  payments  of  $1000. 

With  this  great  incentive,  a  drive  was  put  on, 
which  with  the  membership  pledges  of'  $10  each  and 
the  proceeds  of  a  fiesta,  etc.,  have  brought  the  pledged 
total  to  almost  $10,000  in  one  year  of  effort. 

Mrs.  C.  H.  Rippy,  Mrs.  E.  M.  Sherman  and  Mrs. 
S.  H.  Burton,  with  the  assistance  of  club  members 
and  friends,  put  on  a  fiesta  in  July,  with  gross  receipts 
of  $1423.45,  expenses  of  $553.99,  and  a  net  profit  of 
$868.46. 

The  event  brought  many  people  to  Elsinore,  and 
was  of  distinct  value  to  the  community  in  that  way. 

J.  B.  Lehigh  has  offered  a  prize  of  $100  for  the 
club  house  plan  most  nearly  like  the  one  finally  ac- 
cepted by  the  building  board. 

The  club  for  the  past  two  years  has  maintained  a 
pay  shelf  of  new  books  in  the  public  library.  When 
they  have  paid  for  themselves  they  are  put  on  the 
free  shelves  and  the  money  re-invested  in  newer 
books. 

John  Steven  McGroarty  and  Prudence  Penny  were 
among  prominent  speakers  the  past  year.  Several 
new  sections  are  being  planned  and  it  is  expected  the 
coming  year  to  stress  the  civic  work  of'  the  club.  The 
club  house  will  also  doubtless  be  built  before  the  year 
is  over. 

The  following  are  the  officers  for  the  coming  year's 
work:  President,  Mrs.  R.  H.  Kirkpatrick;  vice  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  J.  T.  Horton;  recording  secretary,  Mrs.  L. 
M.    Waddell    corresponding    secretary,    Mrs.    Esther

man,  Miss  Beatrice  Clark;  literary  chairman,  Mrs. 
Edna  H.  McCoy.  The  above  officers  constitute  the 
board  of  directors. 

The  executive  or  building  board  has,  as  treasurer 
and  chairman  of  Ways  and  Means  Committee,  Mrs. 
W.  E.  Hawkes,  who  also  directed  the  past  year's  big 
and  successful  drive;  Mrs.  S.  H.  Burton,  Mrs.  E.  M. 
Sherman,  Mrs.  D.  R.  Crane,  Mrs.  G.  G.  Willsey,  Mrs. 
T.  J.  Horton,  and  Mrs.  L.  T.  Rush. 

The  president  and  other  club  members  attended  the 
Biennial  in  Los  Angeles,  deriving  much  benefit  there- 
from. 

The  membership  in  the  past  two  years  has  more 
than  doubled,  and  it  is  felt  that  never  before  has  the 
club  been  so  well  worth  while  and  so  alive  as  at  the 
present  time. 


TUESDAY  AFTERNOON  CLUB 

By  Effie  C.  IVebster,  Corresponding  Secretary 

The  Tuesday  Afternoon  Club  of  Los  Angeles  closed 
a  most  profitable  and  pleasant  year  with  the  picnic 
which  is  an  annual  affair  and  was  held  in  Sycamore 
Grove,  June  16. 

We  recently  celebrated  in  a  befitting  manner  the 
twentieth  anniversary  of  our  organization,  many  of 
the  original  members  answering  the  roll. 

Vacancies  occurring  have  been  filled  f'rom  a  waiting 
list,  ever  adhering  to  the  limited  membership  plan. 
The  entire  club  may  be  entertained  in  the  home  of 
the  hostess,  the  members  taking  turn  in  serving. 

We  belong  to  the  General  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs,  and  our  president,  Mrs.  Grace  B.  Willard,  was 
our  delegate.  She  was  much  gratified  in  that  nearly 
every  member  was  present,  enjoying  with  her  the 
wonderful  program  provided. 

The   president   and    several   members   will   leave   in

The  CLUBWOMAN 


August  to  attend  the  National  Convention  of  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  and  the  Women's  Relief 
Corps,  to  be  held  in  Boston.  Later  they  will  revisit 
"Tlje  Old  Home  Town"  and  other  points  of  interest, 
returning  in  time  for  the  first  club  meeting  in  October. 

Each  member  on  opening  day  is  to  be  ready  with  a 
descriptive  talk  on  How  I  Spent  My  Vacation. 

A  new  feature  is  the  appointment  of  Mrs.  Edith 
Schauble  as  historian,  one  of  her  duties  being  the 
collection  of  the  literary  gems,  and  otherwise,  with 
which  each  member  responds  to  roll  call,  same  to  be 
compiled  in  book  form  and  become  the  property  of  the 
club. 

At  this  meeting  the  president  will  outline  work  for 
the  year,  including  as  heretof'ore,  Current  Events,  and 
the  discussion  of  the  real  live  topics  of  interest,  not 
forgetting  the  Social  Calendar. 

MARY  WILLIAMS  CLUB  OF 
AVALON 

By  Mrs.  D.  M.  Renton,  Press  Chairman 

"They  profit  most,  who  serve  best,"  is  the  motto  of 
the  Mary  Williams  Club  of  Avalon.  The  past  year 
the  ladies  of  the  club,  with  their  president,  Mrs.  Cora 
Greeley,  have  lived  up  to  this  motto,  and  had  a  most 
profitable   year. 

Quite  a  few  worth  while  things  have  been  accom- 
plished. At  Christmas  the  club  sponsored  for  the 
Community  Tree,  and  it  proved   a  great  success. 

One  of  the  most  enjoyable  events  of  the  year  was  a 
visit  from  Mrs.  Charles  Toll,  president  of  the  Los 
Angeles   District. 

Mrs.  Toll  was  tendered  a  reception  and  luncheon 
at  the  Hotel  St.  Catherine.  She  gave  a  most  interest- 
ing talk  on  "Woman's  Part  in  Citizenship." 

Our  club  was  well  represented  at  the  Biennial  Con- 
vention in  Los  Angeles,  and  also  at  the  State  Conven- 
tion in  Pasadena. 

The  next  meeting  of  our  club  will  be  held  the 
fiourth  Thursday  in  September. 

HEMET  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Carolyn   G.  Bnibaker,  Press   Chairman 

The  Hemet  Woman's  Club  is  the  third  largest 
woman's  club  in  Riverside  County,  having  a  member- 
ship of  175.  This  is  exceeded  only  by  Riverside,  with 
a  membership  of  429,  and  by  Corona  with  180.  Beau- 
mont and  Banning  are  close  seconds,  while  other  clubs 
of  the  county  range  from  fifteen  up. 

The  club  is  fortunate  in  having  elected  to  its  execu- 
tive board  for  the  coming  year  Mrs.  George  Welling- 
ton Hunt  for  a  second  term  as  president,  and  also 
several  other  officers  who  served  the  past  year.  It 
has  also  taken  a  step  forward  in  efficiency  by  ruling 
that  its  vice  president  shall  be  chairman  of  the  execu- 
tive board,  through  providing  that  the  vice  presi- 
dency becomes  more  than  an  honorary  office. 

The  club  maintains  a  special  membership,  which 
comprises  the  librarian  and  the  women  teachers  of 
the  valley,  whose  names  are  included  in  the  club  year- 
book, so  far  as  they  are  ascertainable  when  the  year- 
book goes  to  press.  In  this  way  the  club  comes  into 
closer  contact  with  the  schools  and  their  problems.  A 
feature  of  the  club's  annual  social  program  is  a  recep- 
tion  to   the   teachers. 

The  size  of  the  club,  with  the  diversity  of'  interests 
of  the  membership,  makes  it  possible  to  accomplish 
several  branches  of  departmental  work  effectively. 
The  newest  of  these  is  a  Drama  Section  for  the  study 
of  the  modern  drama,  organized  during  the  part  year 
by  Mrs.  W.  H.  Pawson,  Jr.  Mrs.  Pawson  has  been 
chairman  of  the  Literature  and  Drama  department  of 
the  club  for  the  past  two  years,  and  her  programs  are 
always  among  the  most  enjoyable  of  those  presented 
during  the  year. 

Another    department    which    accomplishes    a    great 


deal  is  the  Child  Welfare  department,  Mrs.  John  Nel- 
son, chairman.  This  department  has  f'or  several  years 
put  on  a  baby  clinic,  and  secured  lecturers  on  health 
topics.  The  child  clinic  this  year  was  for  the  chil- 
dren of  pre-school  age,  and  was  conducted  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  county  clinic.  A  special  feature  were  the 
mental  tests  conduted  by  Dr.  Meeker  of  Riverside, 
which  excited  a  good  deal  of  interest  and  brought  a 
comparatively  new  field  of  investigation  before  the 
mothers  of  the  community.  This  department  also 
conducted  the  sale  of  Christmas  seals  for  the  tubercu- 
losis fund.  This  sale  was  accomplished  through  the 
agency  of  the  schools  and  a  goodly  sum  was  turned 
in  at  the  Riverside  headquarters. 

This  year's  art  exhibit  of  Paisley  and  India  shawls 
and  old  china  was  an  exceedingly  interesting  and 
worth-while  affair.  Hemet  found  that  it  possesses  a 
good  many  valuable  treasures.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that 
another  feature  exhibit  of'  the  same  sort  will  be  given 
next  year.  As  Mrs.  John  Weston,  chairman  of  this 
department  effectively  expressed  it,  "This  exhibit  was 
intended  to  deepen  our  love  for  home,  and  the  things 
of  the  home."  We  do  not  always  realize  how  dear 
our  heirlooms  are  to  us  until  we  collect  them  and  com- 
pare them  in  groups. 

The  Ramona  Pageant,  of  which  Hemet  is  justly 
proud,  has  been  described  before  in  these  pages,  but 
it  might  be  mentioned  that  the  Woman's  Club  has 
made  many  of  the  costumes,  and  that  the  principal 
ones  were  designed  by  Miss  Irene  MuUer  of  the 
High  School  faculty.  Miss  Muller  also  made  and 
decorated  several  of  the  beautiful  silk  shawls  worn  by 
the  Spanish  senoras  of  the  play. 

Delegates  from  the  Hemet  Club  attended  the  Bi- 
ennial at  Los  Angeles,  and  also  the  Federation  Con- 
vention at  Riverside  on  June  20,  of  both  of  which  the 
home  club  will  hear  next  year. 


BISHOP 


BUSINESS 
CLUB 


WOMEN'S 


By  Mrs.  Bessie    T.   Best,  Press    Chairman 

As  it  is  the  custom  of'  the  people  of  Inyo  County  to 
spend  as  much  time  as  possible  in  the  mountains  dur- 
ing the  summer  months,  many  of  the  clubs  hold  no 
regular  mettings  during  that  season.  The  Bishop 
Business  Women's  Club  holds  its  last  meeting  the  first 
Tuesday  in  June  and  then  adjourns  until  the  first 
Tuesday  in  September.  This  year  the  last  meeting 
was  in  the  nature  of  a  social  meeting,  each  member 
bringing  a  guest.  The  club  presented  the  retiring 
president,  Mrs.  Bessie  T.  Best,  with  a  beautiful  pair 
of  candlesticks  with  the  wish  "that  her  light  might 
conitnue  to  shine  for  the  club  during  many  years." 

The  club  will  continue  the  program  for  fire  pre- 
vention in  Bishop  next  year  and  during  this  summer 
will  give  every  aid  in  spreading  the  gospel  of  forest 
fire  prevention.  A  travel  course  of  study  will  be  one 
of  the  important  parts  of  next  year's  program,  and 
the  club  will  also  continue  the  discussion  of  current 
topics.  Much  study  will  be  given  during  September 
and  October  to  the  measures  to  be  voted  on  in 
November. 

The  new  officers  of  the  club  are:  President,  Mrs. 
Robert  Rehm;  vice  president,  Miss  Lena  Gallagher; 
secretary,  Mrs.  A.  V.  Boyer ;  treasurer,  Mrs.  Artie 
Parcher;  federation  secretary  and  press  chairman, 
Mrs.  Bessie  T.  Best. 

BUENA  PARK  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Myrtle   Thurman,  Press  Chairman 

While  the  club  is  enjoying  a  vacation  during  the 
summer  months,  each  and  every  member  is  making 
plans  for  the  coming  club  year,  as  it  is  our  one  ambi- 
tion to  raise  the  necessary  funds  in  the  next  few 
months  for  our  new  club  home. 

The    new    officers    were    duly    installed    at   the    last

meeting,  held  in  June,  with  Mrs.  L.  J.  Robeson,  presi- 
dent; Mrs.  W.  B.  Shaw,  first  vice  president;  Mrs.  E. 
P.  Mann,  second  vice  president;  Mrs.  Herbert  Hunt, 
recording  secretary;  Mrs.  J.  F.  Greenawalt,  corres- 
ponding secretary,  and  Mrs.  O.  R.  Dano,  treasurer, 
and  as  they  are  all  enthusiastic  members,  they  will 
be  found  attentive  to  their  duties  at  all  times. 

On  account  of  hte  county  preventive  quarantine  be- 
ing in  effect  at  that  time,  Reciprocity  Day  was 
changed  to  Past  Presidents'  Day,  with  an  all-day 
meeting  and  luncheon.  This  was  *'Red  Letter  Day" 
in  the  history  of  the  club,  and  was  one  of  pleasure 
and  inspiration  to  the  fifty  ladies  who  were  in  attend- 
ance. A  pot-luck  luncheon  was  served  at  one  o'clock, 
the  honored  guests  being  the  past  presidents  of  the 
club,  who  came  from  all  parts  of  the  State.  A  pro- 
fusion of  beautiful  flowers  were  used  for  decorating, 
and  the  tables  were  laden  with  a  bountiful  supply  of 
good  things  to  eat.  After  enjoying  a  delicious  din- 
ner, Mrs.  R.  N.  Cummins,  the  president,  gave  an  ad- 
dress of  welcome  and  introduced  the  past  presidents 
and  the  special  guest,  Mrs.  E.  E.  Knight,  president 
of  the  Orange  County  Federated  Clubs. 

Mrs.  Edwin  Martin  responded  for  the  past  presi- 
dents and  told  of  the  aim  and  achievements  of  the 
organization  during  the  past  years.  Mrs.  Knight  gave 
a  splendid  talk  on  "Advantages  of  Federation,"  and 
stated  that  the  object  of'  the  Federation  was  to  pro- 
mote educational,  social  and  civic  activities  by  co- 
operation    with     other     organizations.       Appropriate

toasts  were  given  to  the  president-elect,  as  well  as  to 
the  outgoing  president,  both  of  whom  graciously  re- 
sponded. After  a  half-hour  intermission,  a  number  of 
old-time  songs  were  sung,  followed  by  a  business 
session.  A  brief  history  of  the  club  was  given  by 
Mrs.  Cummins.  The  club  originated  on  March  9, 
1889,  when  a  few  kindly  neighbors,  who  met  to  sew 
for  a  family  of  little  children  whose  mother  was  ill, 
conceived  the  idea  of  organizing  a  society  for  mutual 
improvement  and  helpfulness. 

A  number  of  vocal  and  instrumental  solos  were  en- 
joyed, as  well  as  other  interesting  features,  including 
an  excellent  original  poem  on  the  Past  Presidents, 
written  and  read  by  Mrs.  Caryl  B.  Snyder.  Each  past 
president  gave  some  interesting  happenings  that  oc- 
curred during  her  term  of  office,  and  in  all  the  re- 
ports, works  of  charity  and  kindness  and  friendliness 
toward  the  newcomer  seemed  to  be  the  motto  of  the 
club.  Each  and  every  member  present  made  a  silent 
vow  to  live  up  to  this  aim,  and  to  make  an  effort  to 
make  the  club  even   better  during  the  coming  year. 

The  following  week,  the  club  joined  with  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  in  sponsoring  a  "Clean-up  Week," 
with  excellent  results. 

Mrs.  J.  F.  Greenawalt,  our  delegate  to  the  Biennial, 
brought  back  such  a  splendid  report  that  the  members 
who  could  not  attend  felt  that  they  were  not  entirely 
deprived  of  the  good  things  enjoyed  there.  Mrs.  N. 
D.  McDowell  was  on  the  Fruit  and  Flower  committee 
and  worked  faithfully  for  our  county  and  club.  Our 
retiring  president,  Mrs.  R.  N.  Cummins,  together  with 
Mrs.  W.  B.  Shaw,  also  attended  the  luncheon  at  the 
Biltmore,  and  gave  us  a  good   report  of  that  affair. 

The  date  for  the  Dahlia  Show  has  been  set  for 
September  19,  and  everyone  is  working  to  make  it 
even   a   greater   success  than   last  year. 

The  soliciting  committee  has  been  busy  canvassing 
the  club  members  and  business  men  for  the  club  house 
fund   and  the  results  are  very  gratifying.

SLAUSON  WOMAN'S   CLUB 

By  Mrs.  M.  F.   West,  Press  Chairman 

The  regular  monthly  business  meeting  of  the  Slau- 
son  Woman's  Club  was  held  Tuesday,  June  25.  All 
old  business  of  the  year  was  completed,  and  each 
officer  read  a  report  of  her  year's  work. 

The  retiring  president,  Viola  A.  Van  Order,  pre- 
sented each  of  the  executive  board  with  a  beautiful 
hand-painted  picture  of  Rocky  Point,  Balboa,  which 
she  herself  had  painted.  We  certainly  feel  very 
proud  of  our  pictures. 

After  the  presentation,  officers'  chairs  were  vacated, 
and  the  following  officers  were  installed  for  the  new 
terra:  President,  Mrs.  Grace  Windsor;  first  vice 
president,  Mrs.  Margaret  Foultz ;  second  vice  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Alice  Farmer;  recording  secretary,  Mrs. 
Dorothy  Collins;  treasurer,  Mrs.  Irma  Zillman;  cor- 
responding secretary,  Mrs.  Meda  Brady;  parliamen- 
tarian, Mrs.  A.  Kelly. 

At  this  meeting  a  new  committee,  known  as  the 
"New  Building  Committee,"  was  appointed,  in  charge 
of  Mrs.  Hazel  Bolton.  This  committee  was  appointed 
for  the  purpose  of  raising  funds  to  help  us  get  a  club 
house  of  our  own.  A  fifty  dollar  Liberty  Bond  was 
turned  over  to  the  committee  as  a  starter,  and  already

more  has  been  added  to  it.  We  hope  to  do  big 
things  in  the  next  year  to  greatly  add  to  the  fund. 

The  annual  reception  and  dance  was  held  Friday 
evening,  June  27,  at  Compton  and  Vernon  avenues. 

The  retiring  president  was  presented  with  a  lovely 
chime  clock,  as  a  token  of  appreciation  f'or  all  her 
work  and  untiring  efforts  for  the  betterment  of  the 
club  during  the  past  two  years. 

Ice  cream  and  cake  were  served  by  the  committee, 
and  several  cakes  left  over  were  auctioned  off  and  the 
money  received  turned  over  to  the  new  building  fund. 

On  July  5  the  executive  board  met  at  the  lovely  new 
home  of  Mrs.  Bolton.  A  delightful  luncheon  was 
served  by  the  hostess,  after  which  a  short  business 
meeting  was  held. 

The  annual  picnic  of"  the  club  was  held  at  South 
Park,  Wednesday,  July  9.  A  large  number  of  the 
members,   as   well   as  their  friends,  were  present. 

In  the  afternoon,  a  most  interesting  program  of 
races  was  held,  in  charge  of  Mrs.  Hamlin.  There 
were  races  for  thin  people,  and  for  fat  people; 
potato,  egg,  and  three-legged  races,  as  well  as  races 
for  the  children. 

The  club  will  hold  a  picnic  at  Hermosa  Beach  on 
Wednesday,  August  1+.  Everyone  will  take  her  own 
lunch  and  a  cup,  and  the  new  building  committee  will 
sell  coffee  at  five  cents  a  cup,  to  benefit  the  fund.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


LOS  ANGELES  EBELL  CLUB 

DEPARTMENT   WORK 
Bi  Mrs.  Patrick  Campbell,  Press  Chairman 


Ebell  of  Los  Angeles  will  add  a  new  department 
this  year  which  is  to  be  called  Better  American 
Speech,  in  accordance  with  the  policy  of  the  General 
Federation  in  an  effort  to  promote  unity  and  preserve 
and  foster  the  growth  of  the   language. 

Mrs.  Emerson  Clyde  Gates  has  been  chosen  curator 
of  the  department  and  Mrs.  Albert  True  will  be  her 
assistant. 

The  work  for  the  year  will  follow  a  comprehensive 
outline,  commencing  with  the  launching  of  the  de- 
partment at  the  first  meeting  the  first  Tuesday  in 
October,  when  Mrs.  Gates  will  give  the  history  of  the 
Better  American  Speech  Movement.  Mrs.  William 
Read  will  speak  on  "Better  Speech  for  Better  Ameri- 
cans." Mrs.  Hot  Johnson's  subject  will  be  "Is  the 
English  Language  becoming  Decadent?"  and  Mrs.  P. 
O.  Sundin  will  speak  on  "The  Foreign  Child  and  His 
Handicap." 

The  outline  for  the  subsequent  meetings  takes  up 
for  study  the  spoken  and  written  word,  under  which 
heading  will  be  study  of  Emerson's  Essay  on  Lan- 
guage, and  a  talk  by  Mrs.  Grantland  S.  Long,  "Is 
Conversation  Becoming  a  Lost  Art?" 

Lost  and  Found  words  including  fine  phrasing  and 
influences  now  at  work  which  will  enrich  the  language 
such  as  Opera  in  English.  Public  Speaking  with  Ten 
Commandments  for  Speakers  will  be  the  subject  for 
one  morning,  and  there  will  be  reviews  of'  recent 
books  on  the  correct  use  of  words. 

In  February,  Better  American  Speech  week  will  be 
observed,  the  topics  being,  "Our  Foreign  Colonies", 
"Unifying  Power  of  the  English  Tongue"  and  "The 
Democracy  of  the  English  Language." 

Reading  aloud,  both  at  home  and  in  public,  will  be 
studied,  and  attention  drawn  to  the  contrast  between 
the  poverty  of  the  spoken  vocabulary  and  the  wealth 
of  the   reading  vocabulary. 

Letter  writing,  composition,  essays,  commercial  Eng- 
lish and  newspaper  English  all  find  a  place  in  this 
outline  of  work  as  well  as  English  of  the  stage  and 
the  pulpit  and  general  literary  style  with  tendencies 
of  each. 

This  department  promises  to  be  one  of  great  bene- 
fit and  will,  no  doubt,  prove  one  of  the  most  popular 
with  Ebell  members.  The  meetings  will  be  on  the 
first  and  third  Tuesday  of  each  month. 

The  announcement  of  the  names  of  the  curators  of 
the  fifteen  departments  is  always  of  interest,  and  this 
year  there  will  be  several  new  leaders.  These  sec- 
tions offer  a  variety  of  interest  and  in  each  is  gath- 
ered a  group  that  is  drawn  together  by  similar  tastes, 
and  it  is  here  that  the  new  member  finds  her  first 
place  in  club  life  and  forms  her  first  circle  of  friends 
which  grows  ever  wider  as  the  years  pass  by. 

Mrs.  Charles  V.  Craig  will  continue  her  splendid 
work  as  general  curator  and  her  assistant  will  be 
Mrs.  Elmer  Tucker.  Miss  Helen  Louise  Stubbs  re- 
mains curator  of  the  Art  and  Travel  section  and  Mrs. 
George  McCoy  of  the  Art  Exhibits. 

A  course  of  lectures  entitled  "The  Bible,  a  Book  at 
a  Time,"  will  be  given  by  Miss  Winifred  Rouzee  be- 
fore the  Bible  Section,  of  which  Mrs.  Joel  B.  Gwynne 
is  curator. 

Books  and  Current  Literature  will  be  in  charge  of 
Mrs.  Jack  Vallely  and  the  Browning  class  will  have 
•  Mrs.  John  E.  Coffin  for  the  second  year.  Mrs.  A. 
H.  Perdue  will  be  curator  of  the  Drama  Section  and 
Mrs.  Samuel  G.  Puterbaugh  of  Music.  Mrs.  Charles 
McKelvey  remains  curator  of  Parliamentary  Law 
and  Mrs.  Sumner  P.  Hunt  of  Psychology. 

Mrs.   Norman   D.  Hall,   curator  of  the   Shakespeare 


Section  has  secured  Mr.  Frederick  Warde  to  lecture 
once  a  month  on  the  plays  to  be  studied.  This  is 
indeed  a  rare  treat  and  Mr.  Warde  will  receive  the 
enthusiastic  reception  he  so  well  deserves. 

Mrs.  W.  S.  Bartlett  has  added  American  Citizen- 
ship to  her  Social  Science  Section  in  accordance  with 
the  request  made  by  the  General  Federation.  Local 
and  national  matters  concerning  the  science  of  living 
and  the  responsibility  of  citizenship  will  be  the  found- 
ation of  study. 

The  French  classes  under  Mrs.  A.  L.  Mathews  and 
Spanish  under  Mrs.  Ralph  Hartley  will  continue  under 
able  instructors. 

The  committee  on  better  films  includes  Mrs.  William 
R.  Mail,  Mrs.  Margaret  Gillette  and  Mrs.  George 
Eastman. 


MOUNTAIN  VIEW  SHAKES- 
PEARE CLUB 

By  Merle  M.  Murray,  Press  Chairman 

The  Mountain  View  Shakespeare  Club  of'  El  Monte 
has  just  concluded  one  of  the  most  successful  years  in 
its  history. 

Outstanding  among  its  accomplishments  are  its  dis- 
tinctive club  luncheons,  the  purchase  of  and  plans  for 
reconditioning  an  old  adobe  house,  an  ancient  land- 
mark in  this  vicinity,  and  its  philanthropic  work. 

The  luncheons  were  held  once  a  month,  opening 
with  a  "California  Day"  luncheon.  Notable  among 
them  was  the  "Colonial  Dames"  luncheon  at  which 
one  of  the  finest  collections  of  antiques  and  heirlooms 
ever  seen  in  this  vicinity  was  exhibited.  The  mem- 
bers of  the  committee  in  charge  were  dressed  as  colo- 
nial dames,  with  powdered  wigs,  and  the  whole  set- 
ting lighted  by  the  glow  of  candles  in  silver  holders 
formed  a  picture  long  to  be  remembered. 

The  Japanese  luncheon,  at  which  150  Japanese 
were  present,  prominent  Japanese  taking  part  on  the 
program,  was  also  worthy  of  note.  Others  were  the 
"English"  luncheon,  "Irish"  luncheon,  "Easter" 
luncheon,  "Zion"  luncheon,  and  "Rainbow"  luncheon, 
which  closed  the  year.  Each  was  distinctive  and  no 
effort  was  spared  to  make  it  perfect  in  all  its  ap- 
pointments. 

Most  notable  among  the  accomplishments  of  the 
club  is  the  purchase  of  two  acres  on  Valley  Boulevard 
just  east  of  El  Monte,  upon  which  stands  the  oldest 
relic  in  this  vicinity  of  the  early  days  of  California. 
The  club  plans  to  sell  its  present  home  and  to  build 
a  splendid  one  on  this  property.  Plans  are  under  way 
to  recondition  and  preserve  the  old  adobe  and  to 
make  it  into  a  tea  room. 

Many  donations  have  been  made  during  the  year 
to  the  Children's  Hospital  in  Los  Angeles.  Each 
member  of  the  club  sent  Christmas  gifts  to  the  children, 
several  crates  of  eggs  were  sent  at  Easter  time,  and 
a  brace  was  presented  to  the  hospital. 

The  Mountain  View  Shakespeare  Club  has  con- 
tributed to  many  worthy  causes  during  the  past  year, 
no  plea  for  help  from  a  worthy  organization  being  un- 
heeded. Money  was  raised  for  these  donations  by 
benefit  card   parties   and   theatre  parties. 

The  club  year  closed  with  the  installation  of  new 
officers  on  May  27  in  time  to  leave  all  members  free 
for  the  Biennial.  Mrs.  May  B.  Caruthers  was  elected 
president,  and  Mrs.  J.  F.  Vorderraark,  chairman  of 
the  program  committee. 

The  club  has  the  support  of  the  local  Chamber  of 
Commerce  and  with  it,  works  harmoniously  for  the 
good   of   the   entire  community.

WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  HOLLYWOOD 

By  Dorothy  A.  Doyle,  Press  Chairman 


Mrs.  Charles  H.  Richmond,  the  new  president  of 
the  Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood,  is  a  woman  who  has 
had  much  experience  in  civic  and  community  affairs. 
She  was  a  prominent  member  of  the  Cincinnati  Wom- 
an's Club  before  coming  to  Hollywood  in  1911.  Since 
that  time  she  has  acquired  prominence  in  the  Friday 
Morning  Club,  where  she  served  as  a  member  of  the 
board  of  directors;  the  Studio  Club  of  Hollywood 
where  she  is  fondly  known  as  the  "Mother"  of  the 
club;  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  where  again  she  served  as  a 
director;  the  social  service  committee  appointed  by 
Mayor  Cryer,  where  her  work  has  attracted  unusual 
attention. 

And  now  the  Woman's  Club  of  Hollywood  is  to  have 
the  benefits  to  be  derived  from  all  this  experience.  A 
promise  of  unusual  services  to  club  members  is  con- 
tained in  her  list  of  appointments  to  the  various  of- 
fices. The  list  which  follows  contains  some  names

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  FRIDAY  MORNING  CLUB 

May    tV.  Ben/iam,  Editor  of  Club  Bulletin 
(Continued    from    Last    Month) 


Mrs.  Andrew  Stewart  Lobingier  says:  The  past  ex- 
plains the  present,  for  the  flower  of  today  has  its  root 
in  yesterday.  To  understand  why  we  could  build  the 
glorious  club  building  we  have  today  one  must  be 
familiar  with  our  past  history. 

When  the  Biennial  came  to  Los  Angeles  in  1902, 
the  Friday  Morning  Club  had  a  new  clubhouse.  The 
building  was  erected  for  the  club,  but  they  did  not 
own  it.  It  cost  $20,000  (house  and  lot)  and  was 
owned  by  a  stock  company.  When  values  advanced 
and  the  rent  was  raised  the  club  decided  to  build 
for  themselves  a  clubhouse  on  West  Adams  Street. 
Plans  were  drawn  and  the  contract  ready  to  be  signed 
when  the  club  found  they  could  buy  all  the  stock  and 
become  owners  of  the  clubhouse  they  had  been  rent- 
ing. The  plans  for  the  new  building  were  given  up, 
and  the  clubhouse  purchased  for  $50,000.  The  mort- 
gage of  $35,000  it  was  necessary  to  assume,  seemed 
at  that  time  a  heavy  burden.  No  one  realized  what  a 
valuable  purchase  had  been  made  and  what  the 
ownership  of  such  a  property  meant  to  the  future  of 
the  club.  The  present  value  of  the  lot  is  about  $250,- 
000,  and  because  we  owned  this  downtown  property 
we  were  able  to  borrow  the  necessary  money  to  erect 
the  handsome   building  we  now  own. 

The  need  of  a  larger  building  was  much  discussed 
at  the  time  our  country  had  just  entered  the  war,  and 
when  it  was  necessary  to  devote  all  our  energy  to  rais- 
ing money  for  the  government.  In  the  spring  of  1919, 
however,  the  first  definite  steps  were  taken  toward 
erecting  the  present  clubhouse.  Two  committees  were 
appointed  to  investigate  and  see  if  building  was 
possible. 

During  the  first  four  months  of  1920  a  drive  was 
made  for  funds,  and  on  Charter  Day  we  had  raised 
a  building  fund  of  $33,000  and  we  began  to  discuss 
plans  f'or  a  new  clubhouse  with  great  eagerness.  A 
temporary  difficulty  delayed  us,  for  some  of  the  mem- 
bers wished  to  change  the  location  of  the  clubhouse. 
As  a  result  of  this  discussion  a  motion  was  made  to 
delay  the  building  for  one  year.  This  motion  was 
lost,  but  the  negative  vote  had  a  very  positive  result, 
for  the  new  board  that  went  into  office  in  July,  1921, 
felt  that  they  had  received  instructions  to  go  ahead 
with  the  new  building  at  once.  The  first  definite  step 
the  board  took  was  to  get  the  dues  raised  from  $10  to 
$15.  The  next  step  was  to  get  an  architect.  Every 
member  of  the  board  and  of  the  Advisory  Council 
agreed  in  choosing  Allison  and  Allison  as  our  archi- 
tects. After  several  months  of  work  they  presented 
in  March,  1922,  tentative  plans  for  the  new  building. 
The  plans  were  received  with  great  enthusiasm  by 
the  club  and  the  members  began  to  raise  money  with 
so  much  energy  that  the  building  fund  finally  reached 
a  total  of  $246,000. 

In  June,  1922,  the  fwrmer  clubhouse  was  sold  and 
the  club  went  to  the  Morosco  Theatre  in  October.  The 
board  of  directors  and  the  architects  spent  many 
weeks  of  intensive  work  on  the  plans  for  the  new 
clubhouse,  and  the  details  were  so  carefully  worked 
out  that  when  the  bids  came  in  not  a  single  change 
was   made.     Our  problem   has   been  to   keep   expenses 


within  a  reasonable  limit  and  yet  have  a  building 
that  is  both  grand  and  comfortable. 

It  took  one  year,  March,  1923,  to  March,  1924,  to 
build  the  clubhouse,  at  a  cost  of  over  $600,000.  Esti- 
mating the  lot  at  $250,000  and  our  equipment  at  $50,- 
000,  our  property  is  worth  about  $900,000.  The  in- 
come from  rentals  and  dues  next  year  should  be  about 
$75,000,  so  the  interest,  taxes  and  payments  on  the 
principal  will  be   taken  care   of. 

The  oldest  member  of  the  club  says  the  new  club- 
house was  built  by  courage,  faith,  loyalty,  brains  and 
love;  so  it  is  after  all  not  a  material  building,  but 
a  spiritual  one. 


Mrs.  Caroline  L.  Osgood,  our  beloved  president 
emeritus,  gave  in  substance  the  following  words  at 
the  opening  of  our  new  clubhouse: 

Twenty-four  years  ago  a  group  of  happy  women 
known  as  The  Friday  Morning  Club  came  joyf-uUy 
into  the  beautiful  clubhouse  that  had  been  built 
on  this  site.  For  years  they  had  talked  and  dreamed 
of  having  a  club  home  of  their  own  and  at  last  the 
dream  had  become  a  delightful  reality  through  the 
untiring  efforts  of  their  president,  Mrs.  Sartori,  and 
her    willing    helpers. 

Ours  was  one  of  the  first  clubhouses  in  this  coun- 
try built  by  and  for  women,  and  it  was  far  famed 
for  its  beauty.  In  cities  as  far  away  as  Chicago, 
New  York  and  Boston,  I  have  met  clubwomen  who 
told  me  that  they  had  heard  much  about  our  beauti- 
ful club  home  and  that  they  were  looking  forward 
to  the  time  when  they  might  have  one  as  beautiful. 
In  dedicating  it  Madame  Severance,  the  founder  of 
our- club,  had  said,  "We  rejoice  in  what  woman  has 
already  wrought  for  herself  and  for  others  through 
her  club  fellowship,  and  we  feel  assured  that  greater 
things  than  these  she  will  do  in  the  fairer  future  be- 
fore her."  But  we  did  not  think  that  this  prophecy 
might  apply  to  a  larger  club  home  for  it  seemed  to  us 
then  that  we  should  never  need  or  desire  any  other. 
But.  our  club  family  increased  in  number  until  it  be- 
came a  necessity  to  provide  a  greater  home  for  the 
greater  Friday  Morning  Club.  And  then  our  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Lobingier,  with  splendid  courage  and  self- 
sacrificing  devotion  to  the  best  interests  of'  the  club, 
called  to  her  aid  her  board  of  directors  and  other 
brave  spirits,  and  together  they  undertook  this  stupen- 
dous task.  It  is  impossible  for  us  to  realize  how  much 
time  and  strength  and  anxious  care  they  gave  to  this 
great  work  for  many,  many  months,  and  this  at  a  time 
when  other  great  responsibilities  and  anxieties  were 
pressing  upon  Mrs.  Lobingier.  But  she  never  failed 
to  respond  to  the  numerous  demands  that  were  made 
upon  her  time  and  strength,  although  these  demands 
were  incessant  and  we  all  wondered  that  she  was  able 
to  withstand  the  terrible  strain.  Today  we  come  to 
witness  her  triumph  in  the  completion  of  this  mag- 
nificent building  and  the  "greater  things"  prophesied 
by  Madame  Severance  are  in  evidence  everywhere. 
We  congratulate  Mrs.  Lobingier  upon  the  splendid 
success  that  she  has  achieved,  and  we  wish  it  were 
possible  to  express  our  grateful  appreciation  of  all 
that  she  has  done.  Although  we  cannot  do  that 
adequately  in  words  we  remember  the  wise  proverb 
which  says:  "Let  her  own  works  praise  her,"  and 
we  are  glad  today  to  know  that  her  own  works  are 
praising  her,  that  they  will  praise  her  when  thousands 
of  clubwomen  meet  here  for  the  great  Biennial,  and 
that  they  will  continue  to  praise  her  as  long  as  the 
history  of  The  Friday  Morning  Club  shall  be  known.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


WOMEN'S  UNIVERSITY  CLUB 

By  Maud  E.   Tannehill,  Chairman  of  Publicity 


The  Women's  University  Club  goes  into  the  activi- 
ties of  1924-1925  vrith  the  following  official  board: 
President,  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Turner;  first  vice-president, 
Mrs.  F.  F.  Prendergast;  second  vice-president.  Miss 
Catherine  Carr;  third  vice-president,  Mrs.  Harry 
Mallen;  treasurer,  Mrs.  Thomas  Cooke;  recording 
secretary,  Mrs.  Rebecca  S.  Boughton ;  corresponding 
secretary.  Miss  Marie  Cronin;  two-year  directors, 
Miss  Anne  Mumford  and  Mrs.  Birney  Donnell ;  one- 
year  directors,  Mrs.  Edmund  Locke  and  Mrs.  Charles 
F.  Nelson. 

The  sympathy  of  the  club  members  is  extended  to 
their  president,  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Turner,  whose  young 
son  has  been  in  a  hospital  for  several  weeks  following 
an  operation.  Mrs.  Turner  has  been  with  him  almost 
constantly. 

A  distinguished  member  of  the  Women's  University 
Club,  Mrs.  Mabel  Walker  Willebrandt,  now  absent  on 
leave  in  Washington,  D.  C,  returned  to  Los  Angeles 
for  a  visit  the  latter  part  of'  August.  Mrs.  Wille- 
brandt is  Assistant  Attorney  General  of  the  United 
States,  the  highest  legal  position  held  by  any  woman 
in  this  country.  Among  the  social  courtesies  to  be  ex- 
tended to  Mrs.  Willebrandt  during  her  stay  is  a  tea 
at  the  Friday  Morning  Club.  Mrs.  Willebrandt  was 
on  the  program  of  the  Biennial  Convention  held  in 
this  city  in  June,  but  decided  not  to  come  at  that  time. 
She  was  also  to  have  been  guest  of  honor  at  the  June 
luncheon  of  the  Women's  University  Club.  Mrs. 
Willebrandt  is  a  friend  of  Miss  Florence  Bischoff, 
who  is  also  a  member  of  the  Women's  University 
Club,  a  practising  attorney  of  Los  Angeles  and  referee 
in  the  Probate   Department  of  the   Superior  Court. 

The  Women's  University  Club  has  put  into  opera- 
tion the  long-cherished  plan  of  making  the  club  house 
a  residence  and  social  center  for  university  women. 
At  the  present  time  there  are  in  the  club  house  at  943 
South  Hoover  street,  the  following  group  of'  highly 
trained    specialists: 

Miss  Florence  Woodhead,  member  of  Women's  Uni- 
versity Club,  holding  degrees  from  Leland  Stanford 
and  University  of  Southern  California.  Miss  Wood- 
head  is  the  efficient  head  of  the  Juvenile  Department 
in  the  office  of  the  District  Attorney. 

Miss  Ruth  Fraser,  Riverside,  bacteriologist,  gradu- 
ate of  Vassar,  engaged  in  research  in  Brem-Zeiler 
Laboratories. 

Miss  Hazel  Ball,  San  Jose,  with  degree  of  A.  B. 
from  Leland  Stanford,  employed  by  the  Foster  In- 
formation service   at  the  Rosslyn   Hotel. 

Miss  Sadie  M.  Lane,  member  Chicago  College  Club. 

Miss  Grace  Champion,  Colton,  California,  teacher 
in  Los  Angeles  High  School. 

Miss  Fraser,  Miss  Ball  and  Miss  Champion  are  all 
members  of  the  Women's  University  Club. 

The  club  expresses  gratitude  for  the  work  of  the 
club  editors  of  the  various  city  papers.  This  appre- 
ciation of  the  club  has  recently  been  expressed  by  plac- 
ing the  pictures  of  the  club  editors  on  the  bulletin 
board  of  the  club  house.  These  photographs  are  the 
gift  of  the  Witzel  studio  and  have  been  gathered  and 
mounted  by  Mrs.  V.  Beck  of  Witzel's. 

Two  new  branches  of  the  American  Association  of 
University  Women  are  in  the  formative  stage.  One 
of  these  is  at  Redondo  Beach,  the  other  at  Santa 
Monica.  Mrs.  Ralph  Schaeffer  of  Redondo  Beach  and 
Mrs.  John  M.  Cannon  of'  Santa  Monica  are  leaders 
in  the   organization   of   these   respective  branches. 

The  League  of  Women  Voters  continue  to  use  the 
club  house  as  headquarters  of  their  association. 


The  Milwaukee  Downer  Club  has  held  monthly 
luncheons  at  the  club  house  throughout  the  summer. 

Mrs.  Paul  Neal  recently  returned  from  the  east 
where  she  went  as  a  delegate  to  the  Theta  Convention 
at  West  Baden,  Indiana.  Mrs.  Neal  represented  the 
Los  Angeles  Alumnae  Chapter. 

Miss  Maud  Philips  was  a  delegate  to  the  same  con- 
vention from  the  National  Scholarship  Committee 
which  has  its  headquarters  in  Los  Angeles.  This 
committee  administers  a  loan  fund  of  twenty  thou- 
sand  dollars. 

The  Los  Angeles  Alumnae  Chapter  of  the  Alpha 
Phi  Sorority  will  hold  an  evening  reception  at  the 
Women's  University  Club  House,  September  4.  This 
will  be  a  large  and  brilliant  affair  to  which  both  men 
and  women  will  be   invited. 

The  present  exhibit  of  pictures  hanging  in  the  re- 
ception room  and  drawing-room  of  the  club  has  been 
secured  through  the  courtesy  of  Miss  Vivian  String- 
field  of  the  Art  Section.  The  collection  is  the  work 
of  Mr.  G.  T.  Winterburn,  head  of  the  Art  Depart- 
ment of  Polytechnic  High  School  and  consists  of  eight 
finely  executed  oil  paintings  of  California  landscapes. 

Mrs.  William  Vaughn  Moody  gave  a  luncheon  at 
the  club  house  to  Mrs.  F.  M.  Tilden,  Miss  Alice  Har- 
riet Tilden  and  Miss  Edith  Kellogg,  the  latter  of  Chi- 
cago University.  Mrs.  Moody  has  been  in  Los  An- 
geles for  several  months.  She  is  a  graduate  of  Cor- 
nell. Mrs.  Moody  has  seen  a  number  of  college  club 
houses,  but  seemed  to  think  none  of  them  lovelier  than 
the  stately  home  of  the  Women's  University  Club. 
Other  visitors  have  been: 

Miss  Emily  Murray,  Hanford,  California,  Stanford 
A.  B.,   M.  A.   Columbia   University. 

Miss  Iva  D.  Hunt,  Barnesville,  Ohio,  Columbia  Uni- 
versity Teacher's  College. 

Miss  Florence  M.  Bick,  Teacher,  Ohio  State  Univer- 
sity. 

Miss  Leila   Ware,   Smith   College,   art   student. 

Miss  Philena  Palmer,  Lafayette,  Indiana,  returning 
home  from  a  year  in  Honolulu.  Miss  Palmer  visited 
her  former  classmate  at  Purdue,  Mrs.  Annie  Mc- 
Vickers  Neal. 

Miss  Ermine  M.  Brown,  Anita,  Iowa,  Teacher, 
Drake  University,  Iowa  University. 


PATHFINDER  CLUB  OF 
COMPTON 

By  Mrs.  H.  A.  Chaffee,  President 

The  Pathfinder  Club  of  Compton  has  been  very 
active  in  its  Child  Welfare  work  during  the  summer. 
Mrs.  L.  Glavinic,  who  is  chairman  of  that  depart- 
ment, has  helped  at  the  baby  clinic  every  Friday 
afternoon.  Her  committee  has  made  several  layettes 
and  donated  them  to  the  clinic  for  needy  mothers. 
Ten  dollars  was  donated  by  one  of  the  members  to- 
ward, a  pair  of  baby  scales.  Another  member  do- 
nated the  cottage  where  the  clinic  is  held.  Dr.  Bigby, 
with  Miss  Koontz,  nurse,  are  kept  very  busy  each 
Friday,  and  many  mothers  are  very  grateful  for  the 
help  they  have   received. 

A  class  in  nutrition  for  all  children  has  been  started 
and   is  held  each  Tuesday  afternoon. 

The  other  work  of  the  club  for  the  next  year  will 
be  more  fully  outlined  in  the  near  f-uture  when  the 
president  can  call  a  meeting  of  the  board. 

Many  of  the  members  are  taking  wonderful  trips 
and  vacationing  in  different  ways,  and  hope  to  come 
together  in  October,  ready  for  a  big  year  of  club  work.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


CATHOLIC  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.   Edward   H.   Jacobs,   Press   Chairman 


The  Catholic  Woman's  Club  will  hold  its  first  meet- 
ing September  3  at  2  p.  m.  It  will  open  with  a  re- 
ception in  honor  of'  our  new  president,  Miss  Margaret 
Phillipson,  and  the  entire  executive  board  will  assist 
her  in  the  receiving  line. 

Mrs.  Nicholas  Devereaux  has  arranged  for  the 
Bessie  Chapin  Trio  to  present  the  program:  It  will 
consist  of  music  of  the  eighteenth  century  given  in 
costume,  which  will  prove  educational  as  well  as  de- 
lightfully  entertaining. 

The  forthcoming  season  will  see  an  abundance  of 
talent  from  the  varied  fields  of  Art,  Literature  and 
Music. 

Mrs.  D.  Joseph  Coyne  has  some  real  surprises  for 
her  luncheon  section  program.  The  first,  on  Indian 
Welfare  should  prove  most  attractive,  and  Mrs.  Jo- 
seph Devin  and  she  have  arranged  a  most  entertain-' 
ing  and  interesting  program.     It  is  hoped  that  the  en- 


tire club  membership  will  avail  itself'  of  the  privilege 
of  attending  these  programs  at  one  time  or  another. 
Guests  are  limited  to  two  hundred  and  fifty,  so  make 
reservations   early. 

In  the  Business  and  Prof'essional  Woman's  Depart- 
ment active  preparations  are  being  made  for  the  1924- 
1925  club  season,  which  will  open  with  a  dinner  and 
informal  evening  for  members  only  September  30,  at 
which  time  the  plans  for  the  forthcoming  season  will 
be   presented   to   the  members. 

It  is  planned  to  have  as  dinner  guests  during  the 
ensuing  club  year  many  interesting  and  notable  peo- 
ple and  it  is  hoped  that  the  attractive  programs  of- 
fered will  result  in  a  substantial  increase  in  member- 
ship in  this  department  of  the  club.  The  benefits  to 
be  derived  from  a  membership  are  manifold  and  it  is 
hoped  that  our  business  and  professional  women  will 
avail  themselves  of'  the  opportunities  offered  by  this 
section. 


CUCAMONGA  WOMAN'S  CLUB       HOLLENBECK  EBELL  CLUB 


By  Lyllian  G.  Bishop,  Press  Chairman 

The  Cucamonga  Woman's  Club,  with  a  representa- 
tive enrollment  of  forty-five  members  the  past  sea- 
son, Is  feeling  highly  gratified,  realizing  that  it 
has  just  passed  through  one  of  the  most  successful 
club  years  in  its  history,  both  as  to  the  snappy  pro- 
gram of  study  carried  out  through  the  eight  months, 
October  to  June,  and  in  various  achievements  and  ac- 
tivities. Under  the  efficient  leadership  of  our  presi- 
dent, Mrs.  J.  H.  Williams,  the  year's  work  was  one  of 
great  interest,  beginning  with  the  early  history  of'  our 
country  from  the  day  of  the  Pilgrims  up  to  the  found- 
ing of  our  Constitution,  with  a  special  program  on 
the  Constitution,  which  included  an  oration  by  one 
of  the  young  contestants  in  the  National  Oratorical 
Contest  of  recent  interest. 

With  the  splendid  co-operation  of  all  members  and 
the  various  committees  in  charge,  the  Cucamonga 
Woman's  Club  was  enabled  to  carry  out  most  suc- 
cessfully, within  a  short  period  of  four  months,  a 
pledge  to  raise  $350  for  the  furnishing  of  one  room 
in  the  fine  new  San  Antonio  Community  Hospital, 
then  building  in  the  nearby  city  of  Upland;  now  fin- 
ished and  to  be  dedicated  August  1,  a  monument  of 
service  to  the  entire  community. 

To  raise  this  $350  seemed  at  first  to  be  rather  a 
strenuous  undertaking,  but  all  went  to  work  with  a 
will  and  the  way  presented  itself,  resulting  as  fol- 
lows: Successful  enterprises  in  the  interest  of  the 
hospital  fund  given — three  concerts,  two  lectures, 
candy  sale,  two  food  sales,  two  food  sales  with  hot 
lunches  served,  one  benefit  entertainment.  On  May 
10,  our  check  for  $350  was  mailed  the  hospital  associa- 
tion, and  a  room  selected  in  the  surgical  ward.  Each 
room  will  bear  the  donor's  name  plate. 

Other  benevolences  were  the  annual  Christmas 
box  to  inmates  of  the  County  Hospital,  a  $25  pledge 
to  the  Boys'  and  Girls'  Work  Organization  (also  an 
annual  contribution)  ;  welfare  chest  containing  ma- 
ternity outfits  for  the  needy;  canned  fruit  shower  for 
the  sick;  miscellaneous  shower,  furniture,  clothing, 
dishes,  food,  for  a  widow  and  child  whose  home  had 
been  completely  destroyed  by  fire;  installation  of 
safety  traffic  buttons  and   signals  at  local  crossings. 

An  annual  fall  reception  and  musicale  open  to  all 
the  women  of  the  community,  is  given  every  October, 
and  in  the  spring,  club  members  entertain  their  fami- 
lies  with    an   excellent   entertainment. 

All  these  activities,  and  many  more,  make  up  the 
club  life  of  our  community  and  the  year  replete  with 
many    blessings. 


By  Mrs.  P.  H.  Marlette,  Press  Chairman 

During  the  summer  months,  July  and  August,  the 
outgoing  president,  Mrs.  -J.  F.  McCormick  and  the  in- 
coming president,  Mrs.  F.  T.  Poyas,  have  worked  hand 
in  hand  for  ways  to  replenish  the  philanthropic  fund 
of  this  club.  On  three  occasions  funds  were  deposited 
to  the  credit  of  this  department. 

The  first  of  the  series  was  in  the  form  of  a  card 
party  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  J.  J.  Hufford,  July  16.  Re- 
f'reshments  were  served  after  cards  and  all  of  the 
fifty  present  had  a  wonderful  afternoon  and  were 
eager  to  know  when  and  where  the  nxt  get-together 
would  be. 

The  second  meeting  was  on  August  7  at  the  home 
of  Mrs.  W.  D.  Gard,  325  Gertrude  street.  A  cafe- 
teria luncheon  was  served  at  noon,  followed  by  a  de- 
lightful program  and  games.  This  party  was  dif- 
ferent but  was  equally  enjoyed,  again  by  fifty  mem- 
bers. 

The  third  of  the  series  was  a  free  trip  to  the  beach 
on  August  12.  About  sixty  members  and  friends  en- 
joyed the  hospitality  of  a  real  estate  firm  at  Del 
Rey.  The  firm  gave  us  free  transportation  to  Del 
Rey  and  back  and  while  there  we  inspected  the  new 
tract,  the  Palisades.  Besides  this  the  company  al- 
lowed the  club  $1.00  for  each  person  in  the  party,  also 
1%  of  the  sales  developing  from  the  trip. 

Many  joyous  expressions  have  come  from  those  at- 
tending the  party,  luncheon  and  beach  trip  and  the 
club  will  have  the  great  satisfaction  of  being  able  to 
assist  financially  when  called  upon  for  donations  to 
the  less  fortunate  ones  during  the  coming  club  year. 


THE    KATE   TUPPER    GALPIN 
SHAPESPEARE  CLUB 

By  Caroline  S.  Bradley 

During  the  summer  months,  the  officers  and  com- 
mittees of  the  Galpin  Shakespeare  Club  have  been 
busily  engaged  in  formulating  plans  for  the  winter's 
activities  and  arranging  the  programs  for  the  com- 
ing club  year. 

Mrs.  Harry  Bender,  president-elect,  entertained 
twenty-four  officers  and  committee  members  at  a 
luncheon,  at  her  home  recently.  At  the  meeting  fol- 
lowing the  luncheon,  it  was  decided  that  the  regular 
monthly  meeting  of  the  club  would  be  held  at  the 
home    of    Mrs.    James    Tabor    Fitzgerald,    2445    South

Don't  "Let  George  Do  It" 

The  Buy -California -Products  Campaign  of  Califor- 
nia clubw^omen  has  been  endorsed  by  practically 
every  organization  in  the  State.  Its  success,  however, 
depends  exclusively  upon  the  degree  to  which  indi- 
vidual retail  buyers  make  it  their  business  to 

BUY  CALIFORNIA  PRODUCTS 

It  is  not  theoretical  arguments  for  patronage  of  home 
products  that  cause  the  retailers  to  order  them  in  quan- 
tities that  keep  California  factories  w^orking  at 
capacity;  it  is  the  demand  of  his  customers — of  you 
and  me — for  California  made  goods  over  the  counter, 
today,  tomorrow^,  and  every  day,  in  the  grocery,  the 
furniture  store,  the  clothing  store  and  every  other 
store — YOU   AND   ME,  not  somebody  else. 


California  Makes  Practically  Everything 

And  makes  it,  in  most  cases,  cheaper  and  better.  If  we  buy  her 
products  we  w^ill  double  our  payrolls,  double  our  productive  jobs, 
double  our  home  cash  kept  in  circulation  and

class  would  be  held  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  William  E. 
Silverwood,  122  North.  Vendome  avenue.  Mr.  Frayne 
Williams,  who  is  on  the  University  of  California  Ex- 
tension work,  will  have  charge  of  the  class. 

The  club  will  confine  its  program  this  season,  ex- 
clusively to  the   lesser  known   Shakespearean  plays. 

On  September  25  a  reception  will  be  given  for  the 
class  and  the  club  at  the  home  of  Mrs.  W.  E.  Silver-

THE  SLAUSON  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  M.  F.  West,  Press  Chairman 

The  first  meeting  of  the  club  year  of  the  Slauson 
Woman's  Club  will  be  held  on  Wednesday,  September 
10,  jn  the  auditorium  of  the  Vernon  Public  Library,  at 
Forty-fifth  and  Central   avenue. 

The  meeting  day  of  the  club  has  been  changed 
from  Tuesday,  to  its  former  club  day,  Wednesday. 

At  this  time  the  yearly  dues  will  be  paid,  which 
have  been  raised  to  one  dollar  per  member. 

One  of  the  most  important  works  of  the  club  this 
year  will  be  the  promotion  of  a  maternity  hospital  for 
clubwomen,  where  expectant  mothers  may  go  for  con- 
finement and  receive  good  medical  care  at  a  reason- 
able cost.  The  very  high  hospital  rates  and  doctor's 
fees  for  such  cases  make  it  imperative  that  some  such 
stand  be  taken,  and  we  hope  for  the  support  of  all 
clubs  interested. 

Mrs.  Viola  Van  Order,  who  has  charge  of  the   en- 


tertainment program  this  year,  will  visit  relations  and 
friends  in  Chicago  and  Detroit  during  the  month  of 
September  and  will  be  unable  to  attend  the  first  club 
meetings.  But  we  are  all  looking  forward  to  seeing 
her,  with   an   entertaining  program,   in  October. 

Although  the  attendance  at  the  August  picnic  at 
Hermosa  Beach  was  rather  small,  everyone  present 
had  a  most  enjoyable  time,  and  voted  it  a  great 
success. 


How  much  happiness  have  you?  This  is  gauged 
not  by  the  advantages  you  have  had,  the  pleasant 
things  that  have  been  done  for  you,  the  smiles  or  the 
money  you  have  received,  but  exactly  by  the  amount 
of  happiness  you  have  produced  in  others.  If  you 
have  never  made  any  one  else  happy,  you  are  not 
happy  yourself.  How  much  love  have  you?  The 
amount  of  this  is  not  to  be  determined  by  the  love 
you  have  reaped,  but  by  the  love  you  have  sown. 
How  much  love  have  you  given  others?  To  what 
extent  have  you  made  their  lives  lovely?  How  much 
of  your  own  affection  have  you  poured  out? — 
American,  Baltimore. 


The  things  we  can  see  and  handle  are  not  the 
only  things,  indeed  they  are  not  the  big  and  important 
and  interesting  things  at  all.  And  the  man  who 
busies  his  whole  life  with  them  is  missing  the  very 
cream  of  living.  When  it  comes  to  scorning  "mere 
sentiment,"  it  is  well  to  remember  that  it  is  the 
mightiest  force  in  all  this  world.  .  .  .  The  things 
that  people  may  see  when  they  close  their  eyes  are 
the  things  that  make  life  vastly  more  than  the  other 
kind. — Presbyterian    Witness,  Canada.

LOS    ANGELES    SOROPTIMIST 
CLUB 

By  Elizabeth  Bowman  Tomllnson,  Secretary 
The  Soroptimist  Club  luncheon  held  in  the  music 
room  of  the  Biltmore,  August  12  was  featured  by  the 
harmony  of  sweet  sounds  and  interpretative  dance. 
There  was  a  community  sing  from  12:15  to  12:30 
o'clock.  A  costume  and  a  Spanish  dance,  "La  Jota," 
were  given  by  Vera  Belle  Chamberlain,  a  pupil  of 
Norma  Gould.  The  Nightingale  Whistling  Trio, 
Lavonia  Somes,  Helen  Ward,  Helen  Long  Snelling, 
gave  us  a  most  charming  number.  An  attendance 
prize  was  donated  by  Mrs.  Hilda  Kohr,  one  of  our 
newer  members. 

At  the  luncheon  of  August  19  Sylvia  Harding  was 
chairman,  furnishing  music,  speaker  and  prize. 
Through  the  courtesy  of  Arthur  S.  Barnes,  vice-presi- 
dent of'  the  Barnes  Music  Co.,  we  were  entertained 
by  the  Angelus  Reproducing  piano,  accompanied  by 
Miss  Harding;  and,  in  turn,  the  Angelus  accompany- 
ing Sylvia  in  a  delightful  violin  solo. 

George  H.  Barnes,  president  of  the  Barnes  Music 
Company,  spoke  on  Reforestation. 

I  think  that  I  shall  never  see, 

A   poem  lovely  as   a  tree, 

A  tree  whose  hungry  mouth  is  pressed, 

Against  the   Earth's   sweet  flowing  breast. 

A  tree  that  looks  to  God  all  day, 

And   lifts   her   leafy   arms   to  pray. 

A  tree  that  may  in  summer  wear, 

A   nest  of   robins  in   her  hair. 

Upon  whose  bosom   snow   has   lain, 

Who   intimately   lives   with   rain. 

Poems  were  made  by  fools   like  me. 

But   only   God    can   make    a   tree. 

— Joyce    Kilmer. 


MONTEBELLO  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

The  Montebello  Woman's  Club  makes  its  bow  to  the 
readers  of  the  Clubwoman  and  wishes  to  tell  the 
heart-thrilling  news  that,  after  long  effort,  plans  for 
a  clubhouse  are  well  under  way  and  we  really  expect 
to  build  this  coming  year.  Our  club  site  is  on  high 
ground  facing  a  park  which  is  soon  to  be  improved. 
It  is  one  block  from  a  new  $500,000  high  school  build- 
ing and  one  block  from  Whittier  avenue  which  is  the 
artery  connecting  us  with  Los  Angeles.  When  via- 
ducts have  been  completed  on  East  Seventh  and  East 
Ninth  streets  in  Los  Angeles  we  shall  be  only  fifteen 
minutes   from   Broadway. 

Our  city  is  thriving  and  our  club  is  recognized  by 
the  entire  community  as  being  one  of  its  best  and  most 
progressive  elements.  We  are  members  of'  the  State 
and  the  General  Federations  and  have  wideawake 
chairmen  who  keep  us  in  touch  with  Federation  work. 
Last  }^ear  w^e  were  the  first  club  to  send  in  our  ten- 
dollar  quota  on  the  Prize  Picture  and  are  told  we 
will  be  the  first  club  to  have   it  for  exhibition. 

A  new  set  of  by-laws  is  now  in  the  printer's  hands. 

We  will  have  for  president  for  1924-25  Mrs.  Charles 
M.  Schaak  and  for  vice-president,  Mrs.  N.  J.  Brown. 


LA  PUENTE  VALLEY  WOM- 
AN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  J.   W.  Ste'vens,  Corresponding  Secretary 
La  Puente  Valley  Woman's  Club  closed  a  very  suc- 
cessful year  on  May  20  with   an  American   luncheon, 
which  was  the  final  one  of  a  series  of  four,  the  others 
being   Spanish,   French   and   Italian. 

Mrs.  L.  Engstrand,  our  new  president,  has  been  very 
busy  with  her  board  of  directors  and  various  com- 
mittees, planning  the  coming  year's  work,  and  with 
the  victories  of  last  year  we  are  inspired  to  do  bigger 
and  better  things  this  next  year.  One  of  these  is  to 
be  a  Fun  Fair  September  18,  19  and  20,  on  the  grounds 
adjoining  our  club  house.     With  the   exception  of  the

merchants  booth,  it  is  to  be  put  on  entirely  by  home 
talent. 

Among  the  summer  activities  a  hot  tamale  supper 
and  dance  was  given  by  the  advisory  board,  assisted 
by  the  girls  of  the  Junior  Auxiliary  at  the  EI  Recreo 
Club  grounds.  The  girls  are  contributing  toward 
the  f-und   for  the  woman's   reception  room. 

The  entertainment  committee  assisted  by  the  Junior 
Auxiliary  gave  a  home  talent  musical  in  August  as  a 
forerunner  to  our   Fun   Fair. 

So  even  though  vacations  are  popular  just  now, 
some  of  our  club  members   have   continued   activities. 


SANTA   MONICA   LANDMARK 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  A.  X.   IVilmot 

The  Santa  Monica  Landmark  Club  has  had  the  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  only  club  of  its  kind  in  the  dis- 
trict. 

The  club  was  organized  one  year  ago  last  January 
with   a   limited   membership   of   twenty-five. 

The  object  of  the  club  is  for  the  study  of  California 
History  and  to  help  in  the  preservation  of  landmarks, 
history  and   romance   of   the   Golden   State. 

Two  members  entertain  each  month  with  a  luncheon 
served  cafeteria  style.  After  a  delicious  repast  and  a 
delightful  social  hour,  the  first  part  of'  the  afternoon 
is  devoted  to  business  of  any  kind  that  may  be  neces- 
sary to  dispose  of.  The  latter  part  is  given  over  to 
a   program   on   California   History   and   Landmarks. 

During  the  eighteen  months  since  the  organization 
of  this  club,  the  members  have  given  an  El  Camino 
Real  bell,  placed  where  the  Topango  Canyon  road 
joins  the  Ventura  Highway;  a  bench  in  Brand  Mem- 
ory Park  dedicated  to  the  memory  of  Col.  John  C. 
Fremont;  placed  the  name  of  the  club  on  the  Golden 
Scroll  of  the  McGroarty  foundation  fund  and  now 
has  a  generous  sum  in  the  treasury  towards  a  foun- 
tain to  be  placed  in  Palisades  Park  in  memory  of  Juan 
Rodriguez  Cabrillo,  who  was  the  first  navigator  to 
discover  our  Crescent  Bay.  This  donation  to  the  city 
park  will  play  a  useful  part  in  the  lif'e  of  the  com- 
munity in  which  we  live  by  affording  a  refreshing 
drink  to  the  tired  visitor  and  the  thirsty  animals,  of 
the  clear  sparkling  water  such  as  Serra's  scouts  found 
when  they  named  the  place  Saint  Monica  because  the 
flowing  waters  resembled  her  tears. 

One  evening  each  month  a  card  party  is  given  by 
some  of  the  members,  when  husbands  and  friends 
gather  for  a  social  time  and  incidentally  to  raise 
funds  for  the  monuments  that  mark  the  historic  spots. 


SAN    DIEGO    BUSINESS    AND 

PROFESSIONAL  WOMEN'S 

CLUB 

By  Emmeline  Burns 

You  all  know  the  story  of  the  little  girl  who  had 
been  adopted — when  a  playmate  teased  her  about  it 
she  said,  "My  papa  and  mamma  took  me  because 
they  WANTED  ME."  And  this  is  the  case  in  our 
adoption  of  the  disabled  government  nurses  at  Camp 
Kearny.  We  took  them  because  we  wanted  them,  and 
our  Welfare  Committee  is  making  trips  out  there  to 
bring  what  cheer  we  can  to  these  shut-ins.  We  be- 
lieve it  is  a  disputed  question  whether  the  girls  at  the 
camp  get  the  cheer  or  we  get  it  ourselves. 

All  our  journeys  to  the  camp  are,  necessarily,  made 
on  a  holiday  or  Sunday.  When  we  arrive  the  patients 
have  just  finished  their  "rest  hour"  and  are  ready 
for  a  visit  and  we  have  two  whole  hours  before  the 
whistle  blows.  These  hours  of  comradeship  seem 
like  thirty  minutes.  These  women  are  wonderfully 
interesting   and   one   reason   they   appeal   to   us   is   be- 


cause they  are  "sisters" — they  have  made  their  own 
living  and  will  do  it  again,  they  are  interested  in  the 
same  things  we  are,  and  they  want  friendship  and 
an  understanding   person  to   talk  with   occasionally. 

Of  these  thirty-four  patients  not  one  is  lying  in 
bed  consumed  with  self-pity — they  are  planning  what 
they  will  do  when  they  are  discharged.  One  of  them 
takes  a  study  course,  one  wants  a  chicken  ranch  and 
will  have  it,  too.  One  of  them  wanted  a  little  port- 
able typewriter  and  is  already  learning  its  operation. 
A  list  of  their  birthdays  has  been  furnished,  and  those 
members  who  have  birthdays  the  same  month  take  or 
send  a  little  gift  of  jelly,  flowers,  or  maybe  only  a 
birthday  card. 


ELSINORE  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

Mrs.  Edna  H.  McCoy,  Press  Chairman 

In  the  coming  year,  as  last  year,  club  effort  will 
probably  be  largely  exerted  toward  the  raising  of 
funds  for  the  new  club  house — a  sightly  lot  and  $10,000 
pledged   having   been  the    result   of   last   year's   effort. 

Mrs.  D.  R.  Crane  has  been  appointed  civic  chair- 
man. Miss  B.  Clark  having  resigned.  At  least  two 
civic  programs  will  be  put  on  this  year. 

Activity  this  summer  is  confined  to  the  program 
committee.  A  garden  section  is  being  talked  of  and 
a  splendid  program  for  pre-planting  time  was  ar- 
ranged. At  least  two  prominent  out  of  town  speakers 
will  be  secured  for  open  meetings. 

Elsinore  is  a  hot  springs  and  pleasure  resort,  ow- 
ing to  mineral  springs  and  a  large,  permanent  fresh 
water  lake,  and  for  that  reason  has  a  large  transient 
population,   many   of  which   enjoy  the  open   meetings. 

Civic  plans  have  not  been  perfected  but  the  club 
always  answers  to  the  call  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, the  Parent-Teacher  Association  and  other  civic 
organizations.

COLLEGE  WOMEN'S  CLUB  OF 
LONG  BEACH 

By  Julia  Ellen   Rogers 

From  a  group  formed  of  congenial  spirits  when  the 
city  was  in  the  small  town  stage  of  development,  the 
College  Women's  Club  of  Long  Beach  has  grown  to 
a  membership  of  three  hundred  and  fifty,  is  regularly 
enrolled  as  a  branch  of  the  A.  A.  U.  W.,  and  a  fed- 
erated member  of  the  G.  F.  W.  C. 

Monthly  meetings  are  held  from  October  to  June, 
inclusive,  dinner  meetings,  with  interesting  programs, 
alternating  with  lectures,  or  other  stimulating  intel- 
lectual treats.  The  program  committees  have  kept  to 
very  high  standards,  and  interest  and  attendance  have 
never   fallen   off. 

The  club  machinery  has  the  usual  committees:  mem- 
bership, social,  press,  financial,  program,  etc.,  for  the 
benefit  of  its  members,  but  reaches  out  in  altruistic 
lines  through  its  welfare  and  scholarship  committees. 
Help  is  given  to  the  social  welfare  department  of  the 
city,  and  two  young  girls  are  being  helped  to  their 
hearts'   desire,   a  college  education. 

For  years  weekly  teas  were  given  as  benefits  to 
swell  the  scholarship  fund.  Later,  the  plan  of  per- 
sonal subscriptions  for  a  five-year  period  was  sub- 
stituted, and  this  supplemented  by  special  social  events, 
each  sponsored  by  a  group  from  colleges  geographical-

ly  near.  A  number  of  very  original,  clever  and  suc- 
cessful programs  have  been  put  on,  such  as  the  pageant 
of  shawls,  lawn  fetes,  and  theatricals,  to  which  the 
members  and  their  friends  have  been  welcomed. 
These  have  supplemented  bridge  and  mah  jongg 
benefits. 

The  glee  club  centers  the  interest  of  musical  mem- 
bers. Classes  in  Parliamentary  Law  train  for  leader- 
ship in  any  organization.  International  Relations  is 
a  section  that  broadens  the  interests  and  stimulates 
the  thought  of  members  toward  the  ideal  of  word 
peace. 

Another  enterprise  fostered  by  the  club  is  the  recrea- 
tional survey  made  of  the  city,  to  determine  its  needs 
in  this  line.  The  club  paid  the  expert  who  made  this 
survey.  Members  have  given  enthusiastic  co-operative 
effort  to  these  lines  of  work,  and  close  acquaintance 
and  warm  friendships  have  resulted,  binding  the  club 
into  a  unity  that  makes  greater  achievements  possible 
with  each  new  year  of  its  growth. 


FRIDAY   AFTERNOON    CLUB 
OF  ONTARIO 

By  Drusa  H.  Boulton 

The  Friday  Afternoon  Club  of  Ontario,  although 
primarily  a  study  club  of  limited  membership,  an- 
nually does  some  work  of  philanthropic  nature. 

When  the  Upland-Ontario  Community  Hospital  was 
dedicated  on  July  27,  the  Friday  Club's  interest  was 
denoted  by  its  gift  of  a  hall  clock.  The  clock  is  of 
solid  mahogany  and  has  an  important  place  in  the 
reception  hall.  Its  chimes  are  its  most  pleasant  fea- 
ture, so  soft  and  musical  as  not  to  disturb  the  most 
restless   patient. 

The  study  course  for  the  coming  year  will  cover 
a  range  of  47  miscellaneous  subjects,  current  events 
and  book  reviews  and  other  topics  ol'  varied  interest. 
The  club  will  also  contribute  support  to  the  David 
and  Margaret  Home  at  La  Verne  and  other  children's 
homes. 


LOS  ANGELES  DUNNING 
TEACHERS'  CLUB 

By  Alice  B.  Cole,  Secretary 
The  Los  Angeles   Dunning  Teachers   Club   was   or- 
ganized  April   18,   1923. 

The  first  meeting  was  held  in  Miss  Isabel  Tone's 
very  attractive  studio,  with  Mrs.  Dunning  present  to 
add  inspiration  and   enthusiasm  to  the   occasion. 

A  course  of  study,  under  Miss  Tone's  instruction, 
occupied    the    winter. 

Recently  the  club  has  joined  the  Federation  of  Music 
Clubs.  The  next  meeting  of  the  club  will  occur  in 
September  when  plans  for  next  year,  which  were  out- 
lined in  June,  will  be  completed.  A  pleasant  and 
profitable  year  is  enthusiastically  anticipated. 


LINCOLN   STUDY  CLUB 

The  study  of  American  Fine  Arts — art,  music  and 
literature — is  the  basis  of  the  1924-25  study  program 
of  the  Lincoln  Study  Club  as  announced  by  the  pro- 
gram committee  under  chairmanship  of  Mrs.  J.  M. 
Cage,  founder  of  the  organization.  The  basic  study 
is  of  particular  interest  to  art  leaders  in  Southern 
California  in  view  of  the  active  leadership  taken  by 
this  club  last  season  in  bringing  to  a  successful  fruition 
the  federation  program  for  collection  of  an  art-pur- 
chase prize  fund  of  $1,000  by  the  Los  Angeles  District 
in  the  general  national  movement  to  foster  and  en- 
courage the  study  and   appreciation   of  American  art. 

Officers  of  the  club  for  the  new  year  are:  President, 
Mrs.  Homer  W.  Spiers;  "Vice-President,  Mrs.  Walter 
B.  Clausen;  Secretary,  Mrs.  Charles  B.  Lang;  Cor- 
responding Secretary,  Mrs.  Ervin  H.  Clausen;  Fed- 
eration Secretary.  Mrs.  John  M.  Cage.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


ORANGE  WOMAN'S  CLUB 


By   Katherine  E.   Oliver, 

With  earnest  petition  for  blessing  on  the  finished 
work,  with  review  of  the  past  and  hopeful  and  happy 
anticipation  for  the  future,  the  new  club  house  of  the 
Orange  Woman's  Club  just  completed  on  South  Cen- 
ter street,  was  dedicated  August  18. 

The  new  structure  of  attractive  mission  type  and 
beautifully  fitted  and  equipped  within  for  the  uses 
of  the  club  was  filled  early  by  a  throng  of  guests.  An 
active  decorating  committee  had  dressed  the  charm- 
ing reception  room  and  the  auditorium  with  the  regal 
bloom  of  early  fall,  dahlias  in  exquisite  variety  and 
hue.  Members  of  the  Ways  and  Means  committee, 
of  which  Mrs.  A.  E.  Schooley  is  chairman,  acted  as 
the  receiving  hostesses  and  members  of  the  club  as- 
sisted in  extending  hospitality  to  the  many  out  of 
town  guests  who  came  to  bring  their  greetings  to  the 
Orange  club  women  upon  the  materialization  of  that 
ambition  of  all  clubs — a  roof  tree  of   its  own. 

After  a  half  hour  of  informal  reception  the  meet- 
ing was  called  to  order  by  the  president,  Mrs.  Clyde 
Watson.  Mrs.  I.  D.  Mills,  the  much-loved  "Mother" 
of  the  Orange  Woman's  Club,  pronounced  an  invoca- 
tion of  much  beauty  and  impressiveness. 

Following,  Mrs.  Watson  introduced  with  pardon- 
able pride  the  latest  by-product  of'  the  Orange  Wom- 
an's Club,  the  woman's  chorus,  directed  by  Mrs.  Leon 
Des  Larzes.  The  new  organization  gave  a  splendid 
account  of  itself  in  three  charming  numbers  rendered 
during  the  program,  while  a  happy  contribution  was 
the  original  song  and  poem  of  greeting,  the  music  by 
Mrs.  C.  C.  Bonebrake  and  words  by  Mrs.  B.  D.  Stan- 
ley with  solo  sung  by  Mrs.  R.  B.  Wallace. 

Mrs.  Watson  in  her  introductory  phrases  likened 
the  occasion  to  the  opening  of  the  first  new  and  cher- 
ished home  of  the  new  bride — with  all  the  assorted 
joys  and  anticipation  and  welcomed  the  guests  to 
pleasant  participation  in  the  pride  and  happiness  of 
the  occasion.  Following  she  introduced  the  main 
speaker  of  the  afternoon,  Mrs.  Lucy  Woodford,  pastoi 
of  the  Villa  Park  Congregation   Church. 

Mrs.  Woodford's  address  was  marked  by  character- 
istic wit  and  brilliancy  and  an  undercurrent  of  earnest 
admonition  to  club  members  to  establish  in  the  "new 
home"  the  ideals  that  build  into  civic  and  community 
life  things   durable   and   of  worth. 

Following  Mrs.  Woodford's  address  the  president 
of'  the  county  clubs,  eight  of  whom  were  present  and 
occupied  honor  seats  on  the  platform  extended  greet- 
ings: a  verbal  bouquet  of  graceful  and  delightful 
phrases,  the  sincerity  of  which  was  unmistakable. 
Among  those  who  extended  congratulations  were  Mrs. 
Knight,  president  of  the  County  Federation  of  Woman's 
Clubs;  Mrs.  Stevenson  of  the  Santa  Ana  Ebell  Club; 
Mrs.  Leslie  of  the  Santa  Ana  Woman's  Club;  Mrs. 
Akera,    La    Habra    Improvement    Club;    Mrs.    Albert 


Chairman  Press   Committee 

Launer,  Fullerton  Ebell  Club;  Mrs.  Solaber,  Garden 
Grove  Civic   Club. 

Mrs.  L.  P.  Damewood,  past  president  of  the  club 
whose  energetic  and  devoted  work  has  been  so  largely 
responsible  for  the  accomplishment  of  the  new  club 
house  was  the  last  speaker  of  the  afternoon. 

The  personality  of  Mrs.  Collins,  the  f'ounder,  whose 
broad  vision  and  ardent  championship  established  the 
ideals  of  the  club,  and  who  has  since  passed  to  the 
beyond,  pervaded  the  occasion,  a  sweet  and  grateful 
memory  honored  in  the  hearts  of  her  friends  and 
shortly  to  receive  visible  tribute,  as  stated  by  the 
president,  in  the  form  of  a  memorial  tablet  to  be 
placed  in  the  new  building. 

Two  vocal  numbers  were  rendered  by  Mrs.  Des 
Larzes  with  the  simplicity  and  charm  that  character- 
izes her  art. 

Following  the  program  the  guests  renewed  their 
pleasant  intercourse  and  a  bevy  of  attractive  young 
girls  served  delicious  fruit  and  confections.  Woman- 
like, also  each  guest  must  see  the  new  home  to  its 
last  attractive  details  perhaps  that  feature  calling 
forth  most  admiring  ejaculation  being  the  kitchen 
of  "heroic  size"  so  complete  in  compass  and  detail  as 
to  enthrall  the  imagination  of  the  feminine  mind,  sug- 
gesting to  the  beholders  those  most  intimate  delights 
oi"  woman-kind  the  achievements  of  cookery  enter- 
tainment. 

But  the  charming  reception  hall  with  its  homey  aspect 
— the  broad  fireplace  and  great  chairs,  the  well  chosen 
place,  the  deep  cushioned  couches,  rugs  and  sunny 
windows,  called  for  unqualified  admiration  not  to 
mention  the  auditorium  with  its  perfect  floor,  fine 
stage  and  excellent  acoustic  properties.  It  was 
plain  to  all  that  a  most  gifted  and  thrifty  committee 
on  ways  and  means  had  accomplished  at  such  modest 
cost — $23,000  including  furnishings — this  maximum  of 
convenience,  beauty  and   efficiency.

SANTA  MONICA  BAY  WOMAN'S   CLUB 

By  Jeanette  Godkin  Barke 


"There  may  be  human  joy  in  doing  good  with  defi- 
nite purpose,  but  they  who  do  good  expecting  nothing 
know  a  joy  that  is  divine." — Maeterlinck. 

Such  is  the  spirit  with  which  the  Santa  Monica  Bay 
Woman's  Club  has  endowed  the  Child  Welfare  Sec- 
tion, supporting  it  with  the  strength  of  numbers,  un- 
limited   interest   and   financial   backing. 

This  last  month  of  the  summer  seems  the  most 
fitting  time  to  discuss  these  Sunkist  babies,  for  through- 
out the  vacation  time  when  other  club  activities  have 
ceased,  they  come  week  after  week  to  be  weighed  and 
charted.  These  babies  come  from  all  walks  of  life, 
arriving  on  foot,  in  go-carts,  perambulators.  Fords  and 
limousines.      Democracy   prevails   at   every   turn. 

They  are  taken  first  into  a  big  sun  porch  where 
the  mothers  wait  their  turn.  Here  the  windows  are 
curtained  with  gay  cretonne,  yellow  the  predominat- 
ing color,  which  tends  to  bring  sunshine,  even  on  the 
foggy  days.  The  general  effect  is  light,  airy  and 
sunny. 

When  it  is  time  to  be  weighed  the  child  is  taken 
into  a  large  room  adjoining  the  sun-porch,  where  there 
are  three  long  tables,  on  which  the  babies  are  placed. 
These  tables  are  very  high  so  that  the  mothers  do  not 
have  to  stoop  to  prepare  them  for  examination.  Nine 
babies  can  be  cared  for  at  one  time,  three  on  each 
table.  Each  child  is  stripped  and  weighed  and  his 
general  condition  noted.  If  there  is  irregularity  of 
any  description,  then  the  babe  is  taken  to  the  doctor's 
table,  which  is  screened  off  at  one  end  of'  the  sun 
porch  and  here  receives  any  medical  attention  re- 
quired or  perhaps  will  have  a  milk  formula  changed. 
The  babies  should  gain  from  two  to  six  ounces  each 
week.

The  section  averages  from  three  to  seven  new 
babies  each  Wednesday.  July  was  the  banner  month, 
one  hundred  and  eighty-five  babies  having  been 
weighed.  The  smallest  baby  cared  for,  one  of  twins, 
weighed  only  two  and  one-half  pounds  at  birth,  and 
with  the  careful  attention  received  is  now  at  ten 
months,  sturdy  and   well. 

As  they  prepare  the  babies  for  examination,  the 
mothers  chat  and  compare  notes,  as  to  which  weighs 
most,  sleeps  most  and  eats  most.  One  darling  on  the 
scales  thought  it  a  good  time  to  exercise  his  lungs  and 
then  a  "chorus  started.  The  distressed  young  mother 
exclaiming,  "Now,  son,  you  have  started  things."  At 
another  table,  "Isn't  she  cute?" — "That's  a  HE," 
came  the  reply.  And  so  it  goes,  but  quite  evident  all 
the  time  that  each  mother  thinks  her  own  is  quite  the 
prettiest,  cutest   and   smartest  one  there. 

The  busiest  time  is  about  three  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon, and  there  are  days  when  they  are  swamped. 
The  tables  will  be  full,  chairs  all  occupied  and 
mothers   standing. 

The  Child   Welfare    Section    started    November    5, 

1919,  with  Mrs.  Harry  Schultz  as  chairman  until  July, 

1920.  Mrs.  William  Mattern  became  her  successor 
and  has  been  the  faithful  custodian  ever  since,  scarce- 
ly ever  missing  a  meeting  in  all  four  years.  Dr.  A.  C. 
Smiley  has  also  given  of  his  time  and  service  for 
years  and  assisting  them  are  Mrs.  Edna  Wardell, 
Mrs.  Charles  Pierce   and  Mrs.  Clementine  Campiglia. 

Mrs.  Mattern's  ambition  is  to  care  for  children  up  to 
the  pre-school  age,  instead  of  the  present  three  year 
age  limit,  but  just  at  this  stage  of  the  work,  lack  of 
time,  space,  helpers,  and  larger  scales  are  the  chief 
obstacles. 


Chinese 
Supers  t  i t  i  o  n 

CHINESE  doctors  give  sharks'  teeth,  tiger 
claws  and  ground  fossils  for  medicine;  we 
laugh  at  this  foolishness,  but  a  few  still  believe 
that  rocks,  limestone,  mountain  dirt,  alkali, 
quartz,  etc.,  dissolved  in  water  are  beneficial. 
Superstitions  die  hard.

(simply  H20)  is  the  best  water.  PURITAS  is

Every  thinking  organization  of  the  present  day, 
from  the  humblest  home  to  the  greatest  municipality 
is  realizing  the  necessity  of  developing  the  child. 
Each  child  is  a  cell  in  civilization's  form,  hence  hu- 
manity is  no  stronger  than  the  weakest  child,  as  the 
chain  is  no  stronger  than  the  weakest  link.  Thus 
every  group  of  individuals  and  especially  women's 
clubs  who  sponsor  child  welfare  are  indeed  doing  real 
constructive  work.  Santa  Monica  Bay  Woman's  Club 
has  had  the  vision  to  make  a  start. 


MONROVIA  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Clara  B.  White 

No  club  in  the  Los  Angeles  District  is  looking  for- 
ward more  eagerly  than  the  Monrovia  Woman's  Club 
to  the  opening  day,  October  1,  when  it  will  occupy  its 
new    auditorium. 

About  the  time  the  club  opened  last  year  with  Mrs. 
S.  O.  Beckman  as  president,  the  club  decided  that  the 
old  club  house  that  had  served  so  faithfully  lo,  these 
many  years,  was  inadequate  for  an  enlarged  club  in 
an  enlarged  town,  so  we  began  to  talk  about  a  new 
club  house:  We  had  the  usual  trouble;  sites  proposed 
and  sites  rejected,  but  finally  when  a  generous  pur- 
chaser came  forward  to  buy  the  old  club  house,  the 
club  unanimously  voted  to  purchase  the  colonial  house 
and  three  and  one-half  acres  in  Roseberry  Park. 

Such  a  wonderlMl  home  in  such  wonderful  surround- 
ings!  Great,  vine-covered  oaks,  green  lawns,  ferns 
and   flowers  of   every  hue! 

This  summer  an  auditorium  with  a  seating  capacity 
of  six  hundred  was  built. 

The  president,  Mrs.  J.  P.  Seymour  with  her  Building 
Committee  and  Executive  Board  has  spent  many  hours 
this  summer,  with  architects  and  contractors,  etc.,  in 
order  that  everything  may  be  in  readiness  in  October. 

Admiring  its  new  home,  however,  is  not  the  onlv 
thing  the  club  plans  to  do.  The  program  chair- 
man is  busy  securing  the  best  that  can  be  had  in  lec- 
tures and  concerts  for  the  general  meetings,  and  the 
chairmen  for  the  other  sections  (Music,  Public  Affairs, 
Literature  and  Philanthropy)  are  busy  with  plans  to 
cater  to  the  diversified  tastes  of  the  various  members. 

Foremost  among  the  club's  plans  is  the  organizing 
of  the  Junior  Auxiliary. 

For  fear  some  of  the  clubs  may  wonder  how  we 
could  sell  an  old  house  on  a  city  lot  and  buv  and 
build  so  magnificently  I'll  tell  the  secret;  we  mortgaged 
the  property! 


But  the  Monrovia  Woman's  Club  is  not  daunted  by 
this.  Every  member  is  just  thrilled  at  being  able 
to  work  to  pay  off  a  debt  on  such  a  club  house.  And 
you  just  ought  to  hear  some  of  the  ways  we  have 
planned  already  for  raising  money  during  the  coming 


HOME 


CULTURE    CLUB, 
LUIS  OBISPO 


SAN 


By  Mrs.  Josephine  M.  Johnson,  Press  Chairman 

The  Home  Culture  Club  of  San  Luis  Obispo,  com- 
posed of  busy  mothers  banded  together  under  the 
slogan  "Home-Keeping  Hearts  are  Happiest,"  is  ready 
to  begin  the  new  year's  program  on  Wednesday,  Sep- 
tember 11,  after  the  usual  summer  vacation  of  three 
months. 

The  charity  sewing  is  well  begun  as  it  has  been 
carelMlly  planned  by  an  enthusiastic  conmiittee  under 
a  capable  chairman. 

The  program  mapped  out  is  a  varied  one — one 
which  aims  to  keep  these  mothers  in  touch  with  the 
topics  of  the  day  in  a  general  way  "without  claiming 
too  great  a  part  of  their  time. 

Being  limited  to  fifteen  members  with  the  usual 
duties  of  mothers  in  a  small  community,  we  cannot 
expect  to  accomplish  spectacular  things,  but  by  each  of 
us  doing  our  part  and  making  the  best  of  the  oppor- 
tunities offered  through  the  assembling  of  ourselves 
together  and  sharing  with  each  other  whatever  of  good 
we  may  learn  or  experience  we  feel  w  are  more  able 
to  do  our  part  in  making  our  homes  the  happy  places 
thev  "were  intended  to  be. 


COLTON  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  Mrs.  Henry  A.  Mullen 

"And  all  they  that  were  about  them  strengthened 
their  hands  with  vessels  of  silver,  with  gold,  with 
goods,  and  witt  precious  things,  willingly  offered  for 
the   rebuilding  of  the  temple." 

Club  women  of  the  city  are  watching  with  eager 
interest  the  progress  which  the  contractors  are  making 
on  the  building  they  are  to  occupy  for  their  first  meet- 
ing in  the  pretty  autumn  days. 

N.  L.  Palmer,  the  contractor,  reported  today  that 
the  plastering  was  finished  August  16,  and  now,  he 
says,  "come  the  finishing  touches." 

Interest  of  the  building  committee  is  centered  upon 
the   selection   of'  the   best   shade   with   which   to   finish

the  exterior  of  the  new  home.  Mediterranean  Spanish, 
the  soft  tan  shade  so  popular  the  past  few  years  in 
Southern  California,  is  most  favored  at  present. 

The   interior   of   the    assembly   and   other   rooms   of 
the  clu   bhouse  will  be  furnished   in  light.     Particular 
attention   has    been   given   to   the    acoustic   properties 
which  will  be  excellent. 

Ceilings  will  all  be  eight  feet  higher  than  those  of 
the  former  club  house,  which  will  add  greatly  to  the 
comfort  of  the  interior,  particularly  in  summer.  The 
outside  will  be  tile  trimmed,  the  plans  calling  f'or  a 
red  tile  veranda.  Many  other  attractive  features  are 
being  worked  out  by  the  building  committee,  Mrs. 
W.  B.  McKittrick,  Mrs.  M.  A.  Bausch  and  Mrs.  F.  H. 
Pritchard,  who  are  giving  much  time  and  consider- 
ation in  every  detail  of  the  work. 

"Then  quarry  thy  rock  from  the  Crystal  All 
And  build  the  dome  which  shall  not  fall."

MISSION  ACRES  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  E.  F.  Wilding,  Press  Chairman 

The  Mission  Acres  Woman's  Club  held  its  last 
meeting  June  27,  when  the  new  officers  were  installed. 

Mrs.  C.  M.  Beecher,  the  president,  was  appointed 
delegate  for  the  Biennial.  She  attended  every  ses- 
sion. A  large  number  of  the  members  also  took  ad- 
vantage of  the  meetings. 

One  of  the  happiest  features  in  the  club's  past  year 
was  entertaining  fifty  of  the  disabled  veterans  from 
Sawtelle.  After  a  delicious  chicken  dinner  served 
by  the  club  women  the  boys  furnished  a  short  program. 
The  rest  of  the  af'ternoon  was  spent  dancing  and 
playing   cards. 

■We  sent  a  number  of  home-made  cakes  and  some 
flowers  to  those  who  were  not  able  to  leave  the  home. 


We  also  had  the  pleasure  of  helping  entertain  the  three 
hundred  Biennial  guests  at  Brand  Park  in  San  Fer- 
nando. 

We  plan  to  start  the  new  club  year  Friday,  Sep- 
tember 12,  with  a  luncheon  to  which  we  have  invited 
some  federation  speakers. 

The  program  committee,  of  which  Mrs.  George 
Tilden  is  chairman,  has  planned  some  very  interesting 
and  instructive   programs. 


LADIES'  AUXILIARY,  NATION- 
AL ASSOCIATION  OF  LET- 
TER CARRIERS,  NO.  52, 
LOS   ANGELES 

By  Rlioda  Miller,  Press  Chairman 
The  regular  meeting  of  the  auxiliary  was  held  in  the 
Disabled  War  Veterans'  Hall  on'  Saturday  evening, 
August  2.  Due  to  the  vacation  season,  many  carriers 
and  their  families  are  away  at  the  mountains  or 
beaches,  making  the  attendance  rather  small.  The 
business  was  attended  to  and  the  meeting  adjourned 
early.  A  few  of  our  active  members  have  ben  ill  but 
it  is  encouraging  to  note  that  they  are  rapidly  recover- 
ing and  will  be  with  us  soon  again. 

Contrary  to  the  usual  custom,  the  Ladies  Auxiliary 
is  continuing  social  afternoons  once  a  month,  the  sec- 
ond Wednesday  of  the  month,  during  the  summer, 
from  which  they  are  deriving  much  benefit,  in  that 
they  are  becoming  better  acquainted  with  each  other. 
A  goodly  number  attended  a  gathering  at  the  home  of 
Mrs.  M.  E.  T.  Jordan,  who  lives  in  the  foothills  of 
Highland  Park,  where  everything  bespeaks  nature  in 
its  picturesque  crudeness.  The  mountains  are  superb 
and  the  scenery  is  wonderf'ul.  Preparations  are  now 
under  way  for  the  October  bazaar,  for  the  purpose  of 
swelling  our  funds  for  charitable  purposes.

OCEANSIDE  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By    Virginia    Hart 

Brisk  skirmishing  about  finds  that  with  the  year's 
program  outlined,  officers  and  members  are  marking 
time  and  rounding  out  their  vacations. 

The  president  is  seemingly  perfectly  tranquil,  but 
probably  concocting  a  masterly  address  to  be  delivered 
on  opening  day;  the  vice-president  is  rejoicing  in  her 
first  and  only  daughter-in-law;  the  recording  secre- 
tary, a  tiny  morsel,  is  bouncing  about  at  the  steering 
wheel  of  a  new  Chandler,  the  corresponding  secre- 
tary is  still  in  England,  likely  saying  "California's 
good  enough  for  me,  especially  Oceanside";  the  treas- 
urer is  lately  using  a  crutch  instead  of  her  favorite 
driver;  one  of  the  directors  has  moved  to  Hemet; 
otherwise  the  scenery  is  occupying  about  the  same  po- 
sition it  did  when  this  club  was  organized  in  1918. 
A  large  wet  ocean  to  the  west,  San  Luis  Rey  Mission 
to  the  east,  acres  of  Santa  Margerita  Ranch  to  the 
north,  while  the  view  south  has  of  late  years  been 
enhanced  by  the  superb  chicken  dinners  at  Twin  Inns, 
right  on  the  highway  at  Carlsbad. 

But  a  club  poet  has  risen  among  us  calling  club 
members  to  get  busy,  "For  each  to  earn  for  the  club's 
purse,  one  dollar,  and  tell  how  in  verse,"  at  the 
September  meeting.  Prizes  are  to  be  given  f'or  the 
best,  money  to  go  toward  Year  Book  printing. 

Yours  respectfully,  producing  an  humble  but  sea- 
worthy comfort,  designed  for  camping  purpose,  and 
made  from  husband's  old  trousers,  will  transfer  it  to 
him  for  one  dollar.  I  shall  then  enter  the  lists  with 
the  following  outburst  of  song: 

When  my  darling  wore  these  "pants,"  they  did  his 
charms   enhance; 

Now  this  new  way  seems  the  best,  he'll  wear  them 
on  his  chest; 


But  had  his  "pants"  more  length,  he  need  not  waste 

his   strength 
In   flowing  words  prolix,   this   comfort  warm  to   fix 
About  his  chilly  feet. 


THE  COMMUNITY  CLUB  OF 
MICHILLINDA 

By  Lydia  L.  Harrington,  Press  Chairman 

The  women  of  Michillinda  Community  Womans 
Club  are  looking  forward  to  a  most  interesting  as  well 
as  profitable  year  as  the  first  meeting  will  be  an  open 
meeting,  wholly  social  and  musical.  The  ensuing  early 
meetings  are  on  educational  line  sas  to  how  we  should 
use  our  judgment  in  present  day  daily  affairs  of  gov- 
ernment, a  consideration  of  the  outstanding  leaders 
in  our  national  life  and  in  the  literary  world  with  a 
brief'  summary  of  the  scientific  achievements  of  the 
present  day. 


PIO  PICO  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

My  Mrs.  Etta  Joe  McCoy  West,  President 

The  Pio  Pico  Woman's  Club  has  the  distinction 
of  being  a  rural  Woman's  Club.  It  has  celebrated 
its  twelfth  birthday  anniversary  and  owns  its  own 
club  house. 

Although  the  club  is  a  small  one,  consisting  of  about 
fifty  members,  it  has  had  a  very  prosperous  year.  The 
club  house  has  been  remodeled,  a  new  stage  and  dress- 
ing rooms,  a  new  kitchen  and  furnishings,  new  book 
cases  and  hardwood  floors,  and  a  new  steel  military 
flag  pole  have  been  added  to  the  general  equipment. 
Besides  this,  the  caretaker's  cottage  has  been  remod- 
eled. 

The  programs  of  the  year  have  been  very  inter- 
esting  and   quite   well    attended  .   We   have   had   city,

state  and  national  speakers  but  best  of  all  for  our 
own  development  have  been  the  programs  given  by 
our  own  members,  the  musical  numbers  and  programs 
given  by  the  children  and  young  people  of  our  own 
community. 

Our  drama  section  has  given  two  plays  which  were 
well  rendered  for  amateur  productions.  They  were 
well  attended  and  were  repeated  by  request  at  other 
clubs. 

The  Ways  and  Means  Committee  has  given  a  series 
of  beautiful  luncheons  and  dinners,  which  have  added 
to  the  social  life  of  the  community  and  incidentally 
have   added  very  materially  to   the  building  fund. 

We  gave  a  public  reception  f'or  the  teachers  of 
our  school  and  have  endeavored  to  do  our  bit  in 
creating  public  sentiment  in  favor  of  the  new  school 
building  which   is  now   being  erected. 

We  have  also  had  some  civic  meetings  and  were 
all  registered  for  the  elections  and  a  large  majority 
voted. 

Some  of  our  club  mothers  have  tried  to  meet  the 
social  need  of  their  young  people  and  under  the  chap- 
eronage  of  some  of  the  club  members  the  young  people 
have  organized  a  social  and  dancing  club  which  has 
given   a  series  of   dances   at  the  club  house. 

A  branch  of  the  county  library  is  located  at  the 
club  house,  which  is  managed  by  a  club  member  and 
is  open  one  day  each  week. 

We  have  held  one  child  welfare  meeting  during  the 
year.  The  entire  community  was  invited  and  state 
and  national  literature  was  distributed.  A  number  of 
indigent  Mexican  families  were  aided  during  the  year. 

Our  peaceful  little  San  Gabriel  valley  community 
has  had  the  enterprising  new  town  of  Pico  spring  up 
in  its  midst  during  the  past  year.     We  have  tried  to

The  Digest  was  written  by  a  woman  who  has 
been  for  seven  years  the  National  Superintendent 
of  Parliamentary  Law  for  the  Woman's  Christian 
Temperance  Union;  she  was  for  four  years  Par- 
liamentarian of  the  Los  Angeles  District  Federa- 
tion of  Women's  Clubs,  and  is  now  Parliamen- 
tarian for  seven  different  organizations  and  has 
had  much  experience  in  teaching  and  presiding. 
Mrs.  Gleason  knows  the  needs  of  our  women  and 
wrote  the  Digest,  to  be  used  as  a  text  as  well  as 
reference  book,  for  the  purpose  of  making  it  easier 
for  our  women  to  study  and  understand  parlia-

BISHOP  CLUBWOMEN'S 
COUNCIL 

Early  in  August  a  representative  number  of  mem- 
bers of  the  three  federated  women's  club.s  of  Bishop 
met  at  the  rest  room  in  the  Watterson  Garage  and 
formed  the  Bishop  Clubwomen's  Council.  For  some 
time  the  active  clubwomen  have  felt  the  need  of  some 
organization  of  this  kind  which  will  make  for  closer 
co-operation  of  the  three  clubs  in  matters  of  common 
interest.     The   council   will   interfere   in   no   way   with

the  special  work  of'  the  clubs  and  its  meetings  will 
be  open  to  every  clubwoman  of  the  community.  It 
will  have  no  special  time  of  meeting  but  will  con- 
vene at  the  call  of  the  president  whenever  occasion 
demands. 

The  meeting  was  presided  over  by  Mrs.  W.  P. 
Yaney,  newly  elected  president  of  the  Athena  Club 
and  retiring  vice-president  of  the  Women's  Improve- 
ment Club.  A  letter,  which  Mrs.  Winterton,  the  new- 
president  of  the  Improvement  Club,  had  written  at 
the  request  of  many  of  the  club  women,  to  Mrs. 
Charles  Toll,  president  of  the  Los  Angeles  District 
of  the  California  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs,  was 
read  and  discussed.  The  subject  matter  of  this  letter 
was  of  the  great  unrest  and  depression  which  prevail 
in  this  community,  due  to  the  water  controversy,  and 
which  makes  it  almost  impossible  for  the  clubs  to  un- 
dertake any  of'  the  projects  suggested  to  them  by  the 
district  chairmen.  The  letter  was  endorsed  unani- 
mously by  the  council. 

Mrs.  Walter  B.  Best  and  Mrs.  Gaston  Abribat 
are  the  president  and  secretary  for  the  new  organiza- 
tion. 


INGLEWOOD  WOMAN'S  CLUB 

By  persistent  and  devoted  endeavor,  the  Inglewood 
Woman's  Club  has  raised  $8,000  for  our  new  building. 
This  money  is  not  easily  obtained  for  it  is  given  by 
women  with  moderate  incomes  and  not  by  rich  indi- 
viduals. Giving  depends  upon  interest  and  those  who 
have  given   are  those  who   have   loved   the  club. 

The  nucleus  of  the  club  house  began  during  the  war 


when  the  club  bought  Liberty  Bonds  to  help  our 
country. 

Each  year  a  goodly  sum  has  been  deposited  by  our 
members  until  at  present  we  have  deposited  without 
the  pledges  $4265.00. 

In  1923  Mrs.  Grace  Rowland  gave  us  our  first  lot 
on  Hillcrest  Boulevard.  We  found  it  would  not  be 
large  enough,  so  we  contracted  to  get  the  one  adjoin- 
ing and  again  Mrs.  Rowland  came  to  our  rescue. 

This  hope  and  dream  of  ours  can  only  be  built  by 
courage,  loyalty,  faith  and  love,  and  this  has  been 
more  than  demonstrated  because  there  have  been  no 
great  amounts  pledged.  We  are  deeply  grateful  to  our 
members  and  dear  friends  whose  faith,  untiring  devo- 
tion and  financial  assistance  will  give  us  a  home. 

Our  architect,  Mr.  Frank  Goodwin,  in  collabora- 
tion with  Mr.  Earl  Porter,  our  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce Secretary,  had  plans  and  specifications  ready 
to  open  August  4.  Contract  for  $20,727  was  let  to 
Wierk  and  Wierk,  local  contractors.  Work  has  be- 
gun on  this  new  club  home. 

Any  articles  which  have  outlived  their  usefulness 
for  their  original  owners,  we  can  sell.  This  helps 
people  to  help  themselves  and  is  a  great  financial  asset 
to  our  club.  Most  families  have  an  accumulation  of 
clothes  that  have  been  outgrown,  furniture  that  has 
been  replaced  with  more  modern  pieces,  toys  that 
children  have  tired  of,  bits  of  silk,  ribbons,  trimmings, 
etc.,  that  can  be  used  for  millinery.  Please  save  all 
these  things  for  the  Fall  Rummage  Sale.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  CULVER  CITY  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Lucile  R.  Eastham,   Vice-President  and  Press 
Chairman 

A  hectic  time  of  committee  meetings  and  preliminary 
discussion,  clearing  the  ground  for  the  enunciation  of 
policies  and  plans  for  the  coming  club  year  and  the 
return  to  town  of  club  women,  rested  after  vacation 
fun  and  anxious  to  begin  the  winter's  work,  marks  the 
present  weeks.  The  lawn  of  Mrs.  Harry  H.  Culver 
was  the  scene  of  a  delightful  club  reunion  this  week. 
Seated  on  rugs  and  cushions  the  ladies  opened  picnic 
baskets  but  the  dainty  luncheons  were  the  most  in- 
considerable pleasure  of  the  afternoon.  Afterward  the 
group  treked  over  to  the  new  club  home  and  explored 
every  inch  of  it.  Most  interesting  are  the  big  double 
kitchens  affording  space  for  the  service  of  fifteen 
hundred   guests. 

In  last  month's  article  I  spoke  of  the  "Buy  at  Home  " 
campaign  inaugurated  by  the  club.  The  work  has  al- 
ready borne  fruit  a  hundred  fold.  Thirty  of  the  prin- 
cipal merchants  have  invited  the  co-operation  of  the 
club  committee  in  the  management  of  "Buy  at  Home" 
contests  which  include  the  awarding  of  valuable 
prizes.  The  idea  is  taking  hold,  an  increase  in  trade 
is  already  noticeable  and  the  increase  in  mutual  un- 
derstanding and  good  will  is  beyond  estimate. 

VARIED  AMUSEMENTS  CLUB 
OF  LONE  PINE 

By  Mrs.  C.  H.  Fan  Norman,  Press  Correspondent 

The  V.  A.  Club  (Varied  Amusements)  of  Lone  Pine, 
Inyo  County,  is  continuing  its  meeings  through  the 
summer  months. 

The  work  this  year  consists  of  book  reviews  and 
music.  The  work  is  to  be  divided  into  periods  of 
three  months,   alternating  the   subjects. 

The  Music  chairman  prepares  a  program  in  ad- 
vance to  cover  the  meetings  f'or  three  months.  These 
programs  consist  for  the  most  part  of  study  of  the 
lives  and  works  of  the  great  composers,  and  selections 
from  their  works  by  members. 

The  program  for  one  meeting  is  the  original  and  in- 
fluence of  our  most  familiar  church  hymns.  For  the 
meeting  preceding  Armistice  Day,  the  story  and  origin 
of  our  patriotic  music,  and  for  the  meeting  nearest 
Christmas,  Christmas  hymns. 

The  books  taken  up  are  fiction  of  special  merit, 
selected  by  the  club.  The  book  for  the  present  month 
is  "Growth  of  the  Soil,"  by  Knut  Hamsun,  translated 
from  the  Norwegian  by  W.  W.  Worster,  which  was 
awarded  the  Nobel  prize  f'or  literature  in  1920. 

Fifteen  minutes  of  each  meeting  is  devoted  to  cur- 
rent events,  each  member  answering  roll  call  with  a 
short  article  which  she  thinks  will  be  of  special  in- 
terest to  the  members. 

The  V.  A.  Club,  being  a  member  of  the  General 
Federation,  was  represented  at  the  Biennial  in  Los 
Angeles  by  Mrs.  J.  S.  Gallagher,  who  is  giving  her 
report  in  sections.  She  attended  every  meeting  during 
the  session  and  found  it  impossible  to  give  anything 
but  a  brief  outline  of  this  wonderful  convention  if 
allotted  time   at  only  one  meeting. 

Another  Member,  Mrs.  E.  H.  Edwards,  served  on 
the  hospitality  committee  at  the  Biennial.

The  Wednesday  Morning  Club  will  resume  its  club 
activities  October  1,  with  the  club  breakfast,  which 
will  be  given  in  the  enlarged  and  up-to-date  dining 
room,  which  is  being  rushed  to  completion  during  the 
summer  months.  The  following  week  the  different 
sections  will  start  their  year's  study  course,  when 
each  member  will  get  back  into  the  harness  ready  for 
a   big   and    progressive  year's   work. 

Many  affairs  have  been  planned  ftar  the  winter  by 
the  club  as  a  whole,  and  also  by  each  separate  sec- 
tion, all  of  which  are  given  as  building  fund  benefits. 
Chief  among  these  activities  will  be  the  bazaar  to  be 
given  in  the  early  fall,  each  section  taking  charge  of 
a  booth,  and  exerting  every  effort  to  make  the  whole 
affair   a   big  success. 

The  husbands  of  the  members  of  the  music  section 
are  planning  a  minstrel  show  during  the  winter 
months  as  their  bit  for  the  building  fund.  Special 
mention  should  be  made  of  this  section  as  it  is  one  of 
the  most  popular  studies  offered  club  members.  With 
Prof.  Ralph  R.  Laughlin,  instructor,  Mrs.  A.  H.  Ful- 
ler, director,  and  Mrs.  George  M.  Donahue,  accom- 
panist, good  work  will  be  accomplished  during  the 
year.  Each  year  an  operetta  is  given  by  this  section, 
which  also  gives  one  entire  afternoon  program  during 
the  year  and  furnishes  special  music  for  many  of 
the  other  programs  when  required.  The  Music  Sec- 
tion meets  every  Wednesday  morning  except  the  first, 
at  10:30. 

The  current  events  and  public  welfare  section  with 
Mrs.  Berenice  A.  Johnson  as  leader  meets  the  first 
and  third  Wednesday  at  12:30  and  has  the  largest  at- 
tendance of  any  of  the  club  sections.  Lively  interest 
in  civic  as  well  as  national  affairs  is  shown  by  the 
members;  interesting  discussions  and  arguments  of 
many  subjects,  but  all  with  a  happy  ending  and  an 
educational   benefit.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


CALIFORNIA  GOLD 


Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes 


The  rich,  brilliant  yellow  of  California  gold  has 
always  distinguished  it  from  all  other  gold.  Its  lure 
brought  thousands  of  men  to  this  coast  and  its  timely 
discovery  saved  the  Union  of  the  States.  Mistaken 
facts  as  to  the  place  of  its  discovery  and  the  name 
of' the  person  vpho  made  the  discovery  first,  continue  lo 
be  repeated  and  rewritten  until  one  is  astounded  at 
the  persistence  with  which  this  falsehood  is  continued. 
Evidence  refuting  the  mistake  and  giving  the  true 
facts  are  in  historical  archives  and  on  file  so  that 
no  one  is  longer  excusable  in  repeating  the  story  when 
it  is  so  well  known  to  be  an  error. 

The  truth  of  the  first  discovery  of  rich  paying 
gold  in  California  is  that  in  March,  1842,  Don  Fran- 
cisco Lopez,  a  native  of  California,  and  at  the  time 
serving  as  majordomo-general' of  the  church  property 
of  Mission  San  Gabriel,  was  out  in  Placerito  Canyon 
which  is  just  beyond  Saugus,  Los  Angeles  County, 
looking  for  some  cattle  that  had  strayed  away  from 
the  Mission  herd.  While  he  and  his  companions  were 
resting  under  the  shade  of  a  tree,  Lopez  pulled  up 
some  wild  onions  and  found  clinging  to  the  roots 
some  grit  among  which  were  particles  of  bright 
shining  metal.  He  took  his  hunting  knif'e  and  dug 
about  in  the  earth  where  he  found  other  small  grains 
of  the  same  metal.  He  gathered  what  he  could  find 
and  took  it  home  with  him  for  he  surmised  that  he 
had  made  an  important  discovery.  When  the  metal 
was  assayed  it  proved  to  be  gold.  Mr.  Lopez  ex- 
tended his  search  for  gold  and  in  the  same  year,  1842, 
found  even  richer  prospects  in  San  Feliciana  Canyon. 
In  1843  he  took  his  friend  Don  Francisco  Garcia  out 
to  look  over  the  prospects.  Garcia  saw  the  value  of 
the  holdings  and  went  down  to  Sonora,  Mexico,  where 
he  engaged  thirty  Mexican  placer  miners.  He  brought 
them  back  to  California  and  sent  part  of  them  into 
the  Placerito  Canyon  mines  and  the  balance  into  the 
San  Feliciana  Canyon.  Both  holdings  proved  valu- 
able and  a  great  deal  of  gold  was  taken  out.  Late 
in  the  same  year  one  man,  Jose  Salazar,  a  miner 
who  came  up  with  Garcia  took  out  of  the  San  Feli- 
ciana mines  $42,000  worth  of  gold  nuggets.  The  full 
amount  taken  out  of  Placerito  Canyon  has  never  been 
known. 

In  substantiation  of  the  above  fact  that  paying  gold 
was  first  found  by  Francisco  Lopez  in  Placerito  Can- 
yon in  1842  instead  of  being  first  found  by  James 
Marshall  in  Sutter's  mill  race  in  1848,  there  was 
found  in  the  archives  of  the  Society  of  Pioneers,  San 
Francisco,  a  letter  written  by  Don  Abel  Stearns  in 
which  he  says; 

"I  find  by  referring  to  my  old  account  books  that 
November  22nd,  1842,  I  sent  by  Alfred  Robinson, 
Esq.,  twenty  ounces  California  weight  of  placer  gold 
to  be  forwarded  by  him  to  the  United  States  mint  at 
Philadelphia  for  assay.  The  Placer  mines  from  which 
this  gold  was  taken  were  first  discovered  by  Fran- 
cisco Lopez,  a  native  of  Calii-ornia,  in  the  month  of 
March,    1842." 

Robinson's  reply  to  this  letter  written  August  6, 
1843,  from  New  York  City  and  addressed  to  Mr. 
Stearns  is  also  in  the  archives  of  the  Society.  It  gives 
the  mint  receipt  and  the  amount  of  the  assay,  which 
reads: 

"Memorandum  of  gold  bullion  deposited  on  the  8th 
day  of  July,    1843,   at   the   Mint   of  the   United   States 


at  Philadelphia.  Before  melting,  18  34/100  oz.;  after 
melting,  18  1/100  oz.;  fineness  926/100;  value  $244.75; 
deduct  expenses  sending  to  Philadelphia  and  agency 
there,  $4.02;  $240.73." 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  to  many  of  the  older  resi- 
dents of  Los  Angeles  that  Abel  Stearns  continued  for 
many  years  to  receive  gold  dust  and  nuggets  for 
transmission  to  the  eastern  mint. 

Mr.  Charles  J.  Prudhomme  of  741  Central  Avenue, 
Los  Angeles,  recently  gave  a  most  interesting  account 
of'  the  first  discovery  of  gold  by  Don  Francisco  Lopez 
and  of  the  celebration  that  took  place  at  Placerito 
Canyon  on  the  first  anniversary  of  the  discovery. 
Mr.  Prudhomme  gained  his  information  direct  from 
members  of  the  Lopez  family.  He  said  "at  this  cele- 
bration which  occurred  in  the  spring  of  1843  a  tem- 
porary chapel  was  erected  on  the  very  spot  in  Placer- 
ito Canyon  where  gold  was  found  by  Don  Francisco 
Lopez.  A  great  solemn  high  mass  was  celebrated. 
There  were  present  two  priests  from  Mission  San 
Fernando  and  one  from  Los  Angeles.  At  the  serv- 
ices twelve  altar  boys  assisted  the  priests  and  the  en- 
tire choir  from  the  Mission  furnished  the  music.  All 
the  prominent  families  from  the  Pueblo  of  Los  An- 
geles were  present  including  the  Mexican  Government 
officials.  The  latter  came  out  especially  to  investi- 
gate the  extent  of  the  placer  mines  in  that  vicinity. 

In  1914  the  late  Senora  Catalina  Lopez,  niece  of  the 
first  gold  discoverer,  Don  Francisco  Lopez,  held  a  fam- 
ily reunion  at  the  same  place  in  honor  of  the  dis- 
coverer. Senora  Lopez  testified  that  she  remembered 
the  first  celebration  on  the  same  spot  very  distinctly 
as  she  was  then  a  girl  of  twelve  years  of  age,  and  she 
had  lived  most  of  her  life  in  San  Fernando  valley. 
Later  on  when  the  padres  who  had  celebrated  mass 
at  these  celebrations  were  leaving,  the  Mission  they 
presented  to  Senora  Lopez  the  chasuble  worn  on  these 
occasions.  It  is  the  same  chasuble  worn  at  the  found- 
ing of  Mission  San  Fernando  in  1797.  These  cele- 
brations are  another  link  in  the  chain  of  evidence 
that  gold  in  paying  and  notable  quantities  was  found 
by  Francisco  Lopez   in   1842   at  Placerito  Canyon. 

The  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West  have  recently 
selected  a  site  and  made  arrangements  to  place  a 
permanent  stone  marker  where  the  first  gold  was 
taken  out. 

It  is  to  be  earnestly  hoped  that  due  credit  and 
honor  will  soon  be  accorded  Don  Francisco  Lopez 
as  the  true  discoverer  of  gold  in  California  and  that 
only  the  fact  that  James  Marshall  f'ound  gold  at 
Sutter's  Creek  will  be  recorded  of  him  when  mention 
is  made  of  him.

GUADALUPE  WELFARE  CLUB 

By    Mrs.    A.    Tognazzini 

The  Guadalupe  Welfare  Club  has  been  organized 
but  four  years,  and  although  counting  just  twenty- 
four  members,  we  accomplish  a  vast  amount  of  good 
work  for  our  size.  We  belong  to  the  State,  District, 
County  and  National  Federations.  Our  club  motto 
is  "Fraternity,  progress  and  service."  Our  club  flower 
is  the  sweet  pea.  We  have  paid  our  endowment  fund 
in  full,  we  stand  100  per  cent  in  the  recent  drive  for 
the  "Biennial  Gif't"  and  we  have  also  remembered 
the  Washington  Headquarters  with  our  bit. 

We  represent  several  nations  gathered  on  this  won- 
derful American  soil,  but  the  question  of  interna- 
tional relationship  bothers  us  not  at  all,  for  we  are 
all  loyal,  patriotic,  citizens  of  this  great  republic. 

Some  of  our  civic  activities  are  maintaining  the 
branch  of  the  Santa  Barbara  Free  Public  Library 
and  through  the  courtesy  extended  to  us  by  this 
library  we  have  a  most  wonderful  collection  of  various 
kinds  of  good  literature  for  young  and  old.  A  num- 
ber of  very  fine  magazines  are  also  to  be  found  in 
our  library.  And  service  and  welcome  are  extended 
to  the  local  as  well  as  the  strangers  in  our  midst 
who  care  to  read.  We  also  have  our  community 
Christmas  tree,  which  is  always  a  success  socially, 
and  where  many  poor  children  are  remembered  with 
gifts  of  toys  and  clothing. 

Our  Hallowe'en  party,  the  lantern  parade  and 
frolics  ftor  our  little  folk,  is  looked  forward  to  yearly, 
socially  as  well  as  financially. 

This  and  our  monthly  card  parties  are  get-together 
meetings  as  well  as  adding  to  the  funds  of  our  treas- 
ury f'or  good  causes  ahead.  We  have  a  little  nest-egg 
on  interest,  and  we  are  looking  forward  some  day  to 
owning  a  little  club  house. 

At  our  Lincoln  memorial  services,  we  secured  one 
of  the  best  speakers  of  this  part  of  the  country  to 
deliver  the  lecture.  Good  music  and  singing  formed 
part  of  the  evening  ceremonies.  "America,  the  Beau- 
tiful," sung  by  the  school  children,  added  much  to  the 
splendid  program. 

For  the  music  memory  contest  held  throughout  the 
country,'  we  bought  and  donated  thirty  records  to  the 
school,  and  we  were  not  surprised  when  three  of  our 
little  girls  brought  home  prizes.  One  received  100 
per  cent  and  the  other  two  95   per  cent. 

We  work  in  conjunction  with  our  school  teachers 
and  accomplish  much  in  that  way  for  our  children, 
taking  the  place  of  the  Parent-Teacher  Association. 
We  also  donated  our  quota  of'  canned  milk  to  the 
Near  East  Relief  drive  for  milk. 

We  have  a  committee  now  who  are  working  hard 
on  plans  for  a  double  tennis  court,  to  be  built  in  the 
Guadalupe  public  park   in  the   near  future. 

Our  club  officers  for  the  coming  year  are:  President, 
Miss  Dorothea  Peterson;  vice  president,  Mrs.  M.  E. 
Sampson;  secretary,  Mrs.  Ray  D.  Carse;  treasurer,

WOMAN'S   ATHLETIC   CLUB 
OF  LONE  PINE 

By  Nora  E.  Miller,  Press  Chairman  Pro-Tern 
The  regular  meeting  of  the  Woman's  Athletic  Club 
was  held  at  the  home  of'  Mrs.  E.  H.  Edwards,  Wed- 
nesday, July  2. 

Japanese  immigration  will  be  the  topic  for  dis- 
cussion at  the  next  meeting.  One  subject,  regarding 
the  camping  grounds  along  the  creek  was  especially 
interesting.  This  is  an  important  feature,  as  hun- 
dreds of  people  are  seeking  to  enjoy  the  cool  and  re- 
freshing   streams    for    health    and    rest,    after    many 


months  perhaps  of  the  heated,  crowded  city.  A  word 
along  these  lines  to  all  who  enjoy  camping,  is  that  all 
are  requested  to  leave  the  camp  in  a  cleaner  and  more 
sanitary  condition  than  they  find  it,  not  forgetting  the 
old   adage  to  do  as  you  would  be  done  by. 

Remember  that  the  community  you  visit  has  a  right 
to  expect  you  to  aid  them  in  the  protection  of  streams 
and  camp  sites  from  pollution.  You  know  the  disgust 
it  causes  to  see  a  camp  in  the  distance  which  nature 
has  endowed  with  beauty,  and  on  arriving  find  it 
littered   with   refuse  of'  all   descriptions. 

So  we  ask  each  one  who  reads  this  to  appoint  him- 
self or  herself  a  committee  of"  one  to  clean  up — keep 
clean — leave  clean — and  put  out  your  fire. 

Our  president,  Mrs.  Edwards,  urges  outdoor  sports, 
and  instead  of  suggesting,  she  leads  in  the  hikes  of 
many  miles.  The  last  one  was  a  distance  of  three 
miles  to  the  country  place  of  A.  T.  Smith.  The  moon 
was  at  its  best,  and  the  scenery  was  beautiful  indeed. 
The  hike  was  too  short  and  with  Mr.  Smith's  cordial 
reception,  the  evening  at  cards,  the  immense  table, 
spread  beneath  the  trees,  with  good  things  to  eat,  and, 
last,  but  not  least,  with  the  hearty  and  friendly  invita- 
tion to  come  again,  all  felt  glad  and  appreciative  of 
his  generous  hospitality  and  will  go  again. 

YORBA  LINDA  WOMAN'S 
CLUB 

By  Mrs.  B.  M.  Selover,  Press  Chairman 

The  Yorba  Linda  Woman's  Club  plans  to  be  active 
during  the  summer  months,  so  far  as  adding  to  the 
funds  in  the  treasury  is  concerned. 

The  ladies  have  worked  out  several  plans  for  the 
raising  of  money  which  are  being  put  into  eifect. 
Twelve  of  the  members  from  different  parts  of  the 
Yorba  Linda  district  are  each  giving  one  afternoon 
or  evening  in  one  month,  which  they  select  as  best 
suited  to  their  individual  plans,  to  earn  money.  Thus 
one  affair  will  be  given  each  month  of  the  year,  and 
will  include  lawn  parties,  card  parties,  teas,  etc.,  and 
will  be  assured  of  a  social  as  well  as  a  financial 
success. 

Club  members  who  have  beautiful  lawns  and  gar- 
dens are  renting  them  for  a  small  sum  to  those  who 
wish  to  give  lawn  parties  during  the  summer.  Mem- 
bers who  drive  their  own  automobiles  will  take  in 
neat  sums  during  the  coming  months  by  charging  a 
small  sum  when  taking  ladies  to  and  from  club 
affairs.  Another  novel  means  of  raising  money  has 
been  devised  by  the  program  committee.  The  first 
meeting  in  the  fall  will  be  held  September  9,  and  with 
husbands  as  guests,  will  be  a  dinner  called  the  "Har- 
vest Festival."  At  this  meeting  each  member  will  tell 
how  she  has  taken  a  quarter  and  watched  it  grow 
during  the  summer  months. 

The  club  will  also  work  toward  furthering  the 
feeling  of  good  fellowship  among  the  members.  At 
tihs  time  the  club  boasts  a  larger  enrollment  than  it 
has  ever  enjoyed  before.  At  the  meeting  in  Septem- 
ber it  is  planned  that  those  who  have  not  earned 
money  will  bring  instead   a  new  member. 

During  the  past  winter  the  Ways  and  Means  com- 
mittee gave  a  series  of  evening  card  parties,  one  every 
month  for  six  months.  A  small  charge  was  made  and 
simple  refreshments  served.  At  each  party  the  high- 
est score  made  by  the  gentlemen  and  ladies  was  kept, 
it  being  understood  that  the  winners  were  to  be 
treated  to  a  dinner  by  the  losers.  At  the  last  one,  held 
last  month,  the  scores  were  tallied,  and  it  was  found 
the  ladies  were  victors  by  only  a  few  points.  As  a 
result,  the  dinner  will  be  a  jolly  affair  of  this  month, 
and,  as  the  Ways  and  Means  committee  has  been 
hired  by  the  men  to  serve  the  dinner,  this  committee 
alone  has  added  at  least  one  hundred  dollars  to  the 
general  fund,  through  this  one  idea,  besides  promotnig 
a  feeling  of  sociability  between  the  members.

POINSETTIA  CLUB  OF 
SATICOY 

By  Mrs.   IV.  C.  Schneider 

June  14,  1924,  is  a  day  long  to  be  remembered  by 
Poinsettia  Club  members  because  it  marked  the 
twenty-fifth  annivevrsary  of  the  founding  of  the  club. 

It  was  celebrated  by  a  luncheon  and  afternoon  of 
program  and  social  reunion  to  which  were  invited  all 
who  ever  had  been  members. 

Three  of  the  present  members  were  charter  mem- 
bers, but  only  one  member,  Mrs.  H.  F.  Clark,  has  been 
a  member  continuously  during  the  entire  twenty-five 
years.

The  CLUBWOMAN 


THE  GREAT  COMMANDMENT: 
THOU   SHALT   LOVE   THY  NEIGHBOR  AS   THYSELF' 


There  are  laws  which  govern  in  the  realm  of  the 
spiritual,  such  as:  "Provide  things  honest  in  the 
sight  of  all  men,"  Love  one  another;  as  I  have 
loved  you,"  "Commune  with  your  own  heart  .  .  . 
and  be  still,"  "O  taste  and  see  that  the  Lord  is 
good,"  "Seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  his 
righteousness."  If  we  keep  these  laws  of  the  spirit, 
we  shall  realize  the  sweetness  of  the  blessed  prom- 
ise, "As  thy  days,  so  shall  thy  strength  be."  How 
cheering  is  the  fact  that  strength  will  be  given.  We 
have  a  Helper  who  knows  our  needs  and  has  the 
power  to  satisfy  these  needs.  We  are  all  in  the  care 
and  keeping  of  the  One  who  neither  slumbers  nor 
sleeps.  Here,  then,  is  the  beauty  of  being  a  Christian. 
To  the  over-wrought  business  man,  the  worried 
housewife,  people  in  work,  loneliness,  grief,  and 
temptation,  our  loving  Father  is  able  to  and  will 
give  strength.  Furthermore,  strength  will  be  gradu- 
ated according  to  our  need.  This  is  in  keeping  with 
the  conditions  of  human  life.  .  .  .  His  blessings 
are  renewed  day  by  day.  Let  us  then  endeavor  to 
quietly  and  gratefully  trust  God  absolutely,  and  live 
our  lives  one  day  at  a  time.  Don't  let  the  thoughts 
of  tomorrow  and  the  cares  of  today  rob  you  of  the 
sunshine  of  Christ's  presence.  Trust  him  more  and 
more.  Strive  to  be  like  him.  Manifest  him  to  others. 
Get  closer  to  him  and  yiu  will  find  yourself  going 
from  strength  to  strength. — Dr.  Nole  Porter. 


On  my  first  visit  to  Japan  I  spent  a  memorable 
morning  with  one  of  the  greatest  missionaries  of 
modern  times.  Dr.  Greene.  I  asked  him  some  thirty 
or  forty  questions.  .  .  .  The  last  question  was: 
"Dr.  Greene,  what  is  the  greatest  thought  you  ever 
had,  judged  by  its  effects  on  yourself,  and  so  far 
as  you  can  tell,  on  others  through  you?"  He  re- 
flected quite  a  while  and  then  replied,  "If  I  may  ex- 
press it  in  the  language  of  the  writer  of  the  Psalms 
— The  Lord  is  at  my  right  hand.  .  .  . "  If  the 
Lord  is,  as  He  unquestionably  is,  at  the  right  hand 
of  each  one  whose  heart  is  right  toward  Him,  then 
there  can  be  no  such  thing  as  loneliness,  no  such 
thing  as  discouragement,  no  such  thing  as  defeat,  no 
such  thing  as  atrophy  or  want  of  vitality,  and,  there- 
fore, no  such  thing  as  unproductivity  or  small  spirit- 
ual results.  In  conscious  relation  to  the  living  Christ, 
the  fountain-head  of  spiritual  energy  and  vitality, 
lies  the  deep  but  open  secret  of  abundant  life,  abound- 
ing service,   and   undying  influence. — J.  R.  Mott. 


A  Great  Teacher  who  had  extolled  the  loving  of 
one's  neighbor  as  a  duty  second  only  to  the  worship 
of  God  was  asked  by  a  lawyer:  "And  who  is  my 
neighbour?"  Instead  of  answering  directly,  the 
Teacher,  after  a  custom  which  he  had,  told  a  brief 
story.  Following  the  recital  of  this  simple  story  of 
the    Jericho    highway,    the    following    dialogue    took 


place   between   the  Teacher   and   his   inquisitor: 

The  Teacher:  "Which  now  of  these  three,  think- 
est  thou,  was  neighbour  unto  him  that  fell  among  the 
thieves?" 

The  Lawyer:  "He  that  shewed  mercy  on  him." 
The  Teacher:  "Go,  and  do  thou  likewise."  The 
lawyer  had  answered  in  his  own  question  in  unmis- 
takable language.  The  Great  Teacher  bade  him 
answer  it  with  deeds  equally  unmistakable,  whom 
the  priest  and  the  Levite  passed  by,  is  regarded  by 
mankind  as  the  symbol  of  human  misery  and  misfor- 
tune, while  the  despised  Samaritan  (to  whose  name 
successive  generations  have  prefixed  the  simple  title 
"good")  has  everywhere  become  synonymous  with 
that  true  neighborliness  which  fulfills  the  command- 
ment, "Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself."  The 
necessity  for  such  love — for  deeds  of  kindness  and 
mercy — has  never  passed  away. — Daily  Star,  Canada. 


Forgetting  self  and  finding  our  happiness  in  bring- 
ing good  and  blessings  to  others — that  is  the  very 
soul  of  His  gospel.  No  matter  what  one  may  do  to 
us  it  is  our  duty  to  do  only  good  to  him.  Thus  shall 
we  not  only  bring  the  greatest  good  to  ourselves,  but 
shall  teach  our  selfish  brother  the  true  way  of  life  for 
all.  Until  the  world  catches  something  of  this  spirit 
and  lives  it,  the  new  day  will  not  dawn  for  it. — 
Mercury-Herald,  San  Jose. 


If  you  live  each  day  not  entirely  for  self,  but  so 
as  to  bring  some  joy  into  another's  life,  with  the  do- 
ing of  God's  will  as  the  one  main  purpose  in  your 
own  you  will  make  that  life  of  yours,  whether  spent 
in  a  hamlet  or  a  mansion,  one  grand  sweet  song. — 
Mt.    Tabor   Revietn. 

Much  mold  and  dust  and  mildew  have  been  blown 
away  fro  mthe  covers  of  the  Bible,  and  men  and 
women  in  all  walks  of  life  are  conversing  with  its 
pages  as  with  an  old  familiar  friend.  America  is 
democratizing  religion.  Our  people  are  taking  back 
the  faith  into  their  daily  lives  as  did  the  early  Chris- 
tians, and  turning  it  into  a  practical  force.  The  new 
religion  is  putting  the  Golden  Rule  into  business.  It 
is  reading  the  Sermon  on  the  Mount  into  our  public 
affairs.  It  is  teaching  the  churches  that  the  Rock 
of  Ages  is  big  enough  and  strong  enough  to  hold  them 
all.  It  is  promoting  a  get-together  spirit,  demonstrat- 
ing that  confederated  Christianity  can  in  the  religious 
world  attain  the  growth  of  the  United  States  in  the 
material.  .  .  .  And  yet  religion  itself  has  not 
changed.  God  is  the  same,  yesterday,  today,  and 
forever. — Times,   Los   Angeles. 


It  does  not  follow  that  a  "penny  saved  is  a  penny 
earned."  Much  depends  upon  what  the  penny  is 
saved  from,  and  what  it  is  saved  for.  A  penny  or  a 
dollar  saved,  when  it  ought  to  have  been  spent  or 
given  away,  is  really  lost;  lost  in  the  most  hopeless 
fashion.  So  with  time  and  strength.  One  may  save 
time  and  conserve  energy  by  narrowing  his  interests 
in  life.  Thus  one  man  cuts  out  churchgoing  in  order 
that  he  may  have  more  time  for  other  things;  another 
gives  up  his  Sunday  school  class  for  the  sake  of  sel- 
fish enjoyment;  still  another  drops  out  of  active 
helpfulness  because  such  service  tires  him  too  much. 
The  question,  however,  remains  as  to  which  kind  of 
labor  is  best  entitled  to  tax  us.  Love  never  counts 
cost.  The  spirit  of  love  glories  not  in  what  it  saves, 
but  in  what  it  gives. — Southern  Methodist,  Baltimore.

PURE  MILK 

By   Robert   E.  Jones 


The  Pacific  Coast  is  the  safest  place  in  America  for 
babies  to  be  born,  according  to  figures  of  the  Ameri- 
can Child  Health  Association,  given  out  today  by 
Sam   H.   Greene,  of  California   Dairy  Council. 

Pacific  Coast  cities  have  a  remarkably  low  death 
rate  for  children  under  one  year  of  age,  so  remarkable 
as  to  make  them  decidedly  outstanding  in  the  United 
States. 

There  are  five  classes  given  in  the  American  Child 
Health  Association  report.  In  every  class  of  cities, 
from  those  10,000  and  25,000  population  up  to  those 
above  250,000  population,  Pacific  Coast  cities  lead  in 
low  death  rate  for  babies.  Seattle  and  Spokane,  Wash- 
ington, lead  the  two  classes  for  larger  cities;  Berkeley, 
Pasadena,  and  Santa  Cruz,  Calif'ornia.  lead  the  classes 
for  the  three  groups  of  smaller  cities. 

The  lowest  death  rate  in  America  for  babies  is 
reported  for  Santa  Cruz,  Cal.,  where  only  26  infants 
out  of  1,000  die  before  the  age  of  one  year.  Contrasted 
with  this  is  the  city  of  Goldsboro,  North  Carolina, 
where  161  babies  out  of  1,000  die  before  they  reach 
the   age  of  one  year. 

"These  figures  are  a  remrkable  tribute  to  the 
quality  milk  supply  of  Pacific  Coast  cities,"  said  Mr. 
Greene,  who  is  secretary-manager  of  California  Dairy 
Council,  in  commenting  on  the  report.  "We  know  that 
pure,  wholesome  milk  is  one  of  the  greatest  factors  in 
saving  the  lives  of  babies.  The  milk  industry  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  is  realizing  more  and  more  its  responsi- 
bility in  saving  the  lives  and  improving  the  health  of 
children,  and  it  is  gratifying  indeed  to  see  from  cold, 
hard  figures  that  results  are  being  obtained. 

"Of  course,  there  are  other  factors  which  go  to- 
wards saving  the  lives  of  these  babies.  One  is  a  wider 
application  of  the  rules  of  personal  hygiene,  due  to  the 
enlightened  work  of  our  medical  men,  health  officers, 
and  public  health  and  hospital  nurses.  Another  is  bet- 
ter climatic  conditions  and  the  small  percentage  oj 
low-grade  foreign  population  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 
This  low-grade  foreign  population  factor  is  an  im- 
portant one  and  it  is  clearly  shown  in  the  analysis  of 
figures  for  certain  Pacific  Coast  cities  that  where  there 


is  a  large  percentage  of  this  population,  the  death 
rate  for  babies  is  higher,  in  spite  of  good  milk  and 
a  friendly  climate.  There  is  another  factor  which 
makes  the  figures  for  some  cities  on  the  South  Atlantic 
Coast  seem  exceptionally  large,  and  this  is  incom- 
plete registrations  of  births. 

"However,  after  making  due  allowance  I'or  these 
facts,  we  find  a  well-protected  pure  milk  supply  has 
meant  great  progress  here  on  the  Pacific  Coast  in  sav- 
ing the  lives  of  babies. 

"While  the  larger  cities  of  California  must  pay 
tribute  to  their  sister  cities  of  Seattle,  Spokane,  and 
Portland,  to  the  North,  still  they  are  not  far  behind,  as

The  CLUBWOMAN 


will  be  shown  later.  And  in  the  classes  of  cities  be- 
low 100,000  population,  California  cities  are  Jecidedly 
outstanding  in  their  low  death  rate.  Berkeley  and 
Long  Beach  both  have  a  rate  of  41  per  1,000.  Pasa- 
dena has  a  rate  of  37  per  1,000;  and  Alameda  a  rate 
of  40  per  1,000. 

"While  the  Pacific  Coast  cities  are  far  in  the  lead, 
taken  as  a  whole,  there  are  some  exceptional  cities 
in  the  East,  where  unusual  effort  has  been  put  f'orth 
for  a  pure,  wholesome  milk  supply,  that  also  show  a 
low  death  rate.  For  instance,  Yonkers,  New  York; 
Minneapolis,  Minnesota;  and  the  smaller  cities  of 
Winchester,  Mass.,  Huntington,  Ind.,  and  Carthage, 
Missouri,  all  have  low  rates. 

"How  closely  a  clean,  pure  milk  supply  affects  the 
death  rate  in  children  is  strikingly  shown  by  figures  on 
bacteria  count  in  milk  which  we  ^have  to  compare 
with  these  figures  on  death  rate.  One  city  about  the 
size  of  San  Francisco  reports  the  high  death  rate  of 
98  children  per  1,000  born. 

"Now,  the  bacteria  count  in  milk,  if  high,  indi- 
cates uncleanliness ;  if  low,  indicates  a  greater  degree 
of  cleanliness.  The  particular  city  above  mentioned 
which  reports  the  high  death  rate  of  98  per  1,000, 
also  reports  a  very  high  bacteria  count  of  milk. 

"The  dairy  \industry  of  the  Pacific  West  has  been 
working  for  a.  generation  towards  a  better  milk  supply. 
Sometimes  those  in  the  industry  have  felt  that  their 
work  has  not  been  fully  appreciated,  but  the  stirringly 
human  appeal  made  by  these  cold  figures,  showing 
how  thousands  of'  babies'  lives  have  been  saved  by  the 
care  of  the  dairy  farmer  and  the  milk  distributor  has 
taken  to  make  their  milk  safe,  is  certainly  sufficient 
reward  for  all  the  effort  that  has  been  expended." 

The  average  death  rate  throughout  America  is  78 
babies  out  of  1,000  born.  The  list  of  Pacific  Coast 
cities  above  10,000  population  and  their  infant  mor- 
tality rates,  shows  that  twenty-five  of  the  total  of 
thirty-four  of  these  cities  have  rates  below  the 
average;  and  in  this  twenty-five  cities  below  the  aver- 
age, is  every  major  city  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  In 
contrast  we  have  the  high  rates  of  such  cities  as 
Washington,  D.  C,  92;  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  92;  Mem- 
phis,  110;   Boston,   83;   and   Chicago,   87.     The  city  of 


New  York  is  in  a  class  with  some  of'  the  Pacific  Coast
